CHAPTER XII:
NEW STORE AND RECEIVING STORE (continued)

Furnishings

As with the sale shop, the principal "furnishings" of the warehouses were the goods stored there. But there was also a certain amount of equipment kept on hand to facilitate business both in and on behalf of the warehouses and, evidently, to protect the goods in them.

In the lists of "Articles in Use" which appeared in the annual Fort Vancouver inventories, there was a subheading for items employed "In Stores." Unfortunately, all of the warehouses seem to have been lumped into this one category, including the sale shop, the fur store, and evidently even such structures as the granary and the beef store. Thus it seems impossible to identify those articles which may have been in the "New Store" and the Receiving Store.

For what it is worth as an indication of the kinds of equipment that may have been in those two structures, however, the list for 1844 is given below:

The list of articles in use "in Stores" in the inventory for the spring of 1845 is very similar to that for 1844. A few changes and additions were noted, however, and they may be summarized as follows:

2	sets blocks and Tackle [only 1 set in 1844]
1	pump Borer
4	Irons pr do
1	Camboose [cambist?]
5	Steering compasses
1	pr. Timber dogs
13	Coopers screwing Irons
3	Copper moulds pr. ball and Shot
2	prs. double jack screws
1	sheeting Tent [instead of 2 in 1844.] [42]

But the real furnishings of the warehouses were the bales, boxes, and barrels of bulk goods, imported and domestic, and the "whole pieces" which were ranged row after row in the cavernous interiors. There are several types of source materials which might be used to gain an idea of the types and quantities of these goods. First, there are the requisitions or indents from the Columbia Department ordering the annual "outfits" from London. These may be found in the Company's archives in the York Factory Indent Books (up to 1838), in the B.239/n/ series. Later requisitions are in the A.11/70 series, and some in the B.223/d/ series. Perhaps even better than the requisitions, however, are the lists of goods actually received found in the Account Books, Fort Vancouver [Abstracts, cost and charges of goods received], in the B.223/d/ series.

Also extremely valuable are the annual depot inventories. These, also, are in the B.223/d/ series under the heading Account Books, Fort Vancouver [Inventories]. While not as complete as the lists of goods actually received, since they indicate only the items remaining on hand in the spring of each year, they nevertheless give a fine picture of what was actually in the warehouses at a given time. In other words, they list not only goods received but goods remaining from previous years. The picture becomes even more complete when the depot inventories, which generally covered only imported goods and livestock, are supplemented by the annual district inventories of "country produce and country made articles" remaining on hand in the spring of each year. These are also in the B.223/d/ series.

In the belief that the annual depot inventories would prove to be the most useful guides for possible refurnishing of the warehouses, there is reproduced below that part of the Fort Vancouver inventory for 1844 which relates to goods most probably kept in the stores. This list is supplemented by extracts from other inventories and by inventories of country produce and country made articles on hand at the depot.
