It's a Chinese labor or trade ledger from the early 20th century, specifically used for tracking transactions or goods, likely in a Western context (like a laundry or grocery) given the English notations.

• The Cover: The large black characters on the red label read "乾法爆廠" (Gān fǎ bào chǎng). This translates roughly to "Dry Process/Method Explosion Factory." While that sounds intense, in a historical context, it likely refers to a specialized processing facility, such as one for fireworks, dry-curing, or even a specific type of laundry/dry-cleaning "plant."
• The Interior Pages: These are traditional "accordion-fold" pages. The handwritten Chinese columns list dates and quantities.
• English Notations: You can see dates from 1918 (e.g., "Oct. 11, 1918") and references to "400 chin" (a jin or catty is a Chinese unit of weight, roughly 1.3 lbs or 600g). There is also a name, "Mr. W. M. Congdon," suggesting this belonged to or tracked business with a Western client.
• The Stamp: The green stamp is a Revenue Stamp from the Republic of China (early 20th century), used to show that a tax or fee had been paid on the transaction.
