Title	Thomas Norwood Simmons Papers, 1908-1986
Description	This collection contains business documents related to Simmons boat building business and Simmons personal financial records. The collection ranges from the late 1960s to the early 1970s. The first box contains correspondence. Most of this material is correspondence from people interesting in purchasing one of Simmons boats from all over the United States. There is a large concentration in 1970 due to an article that was published about Simmons’s boats in National Fisherman during this year. Box 2-4 contains Simmons’s business records and personal financial records. They are in chronological order. After 1972 a noted drop in documents pertaining to boat building exists. When receipts have been listed businesses that are prominent in the collection have been noted, but receipts from other companies and individuals may not have been listed.
