Series - Correspondence of Powers Brothers

Series consists of incoming and outgoing correspondence that was filed separately from the job files. Correspondents include clients, contractors, vendors, personnel, associations, government departments and representatives (both federal and provincial), and insurance companies. Most correspondents were based in Nova Scotia, particularly Lunenburg, but some were located throughout the Atlantic Provinces, Quebec, and Ontario. The correspondence primarily pertains to the Powers Brothers' work in the early 1980s and includes job quotations, client complaints and charge disputes, information about products offered by vendors, and product warranties. The series also contains information about the company's membership and duties in various associations, and some personal letters written by John Powers to members of the community. There is also a file of correspondence by A. F. Powers from the early 1900s, which consists of personal and business letters with local correspondents, job quotations, and invoices. Some material from the series was discarded (namely invoices and unsolicited mail) and the series was arranged alphabetically by archivist. Bulk from 1980 - 1986.
