Abstract:
Correspondence of James Steven, an Eau Claire, Wisconsin, businessman involved in lumbering and retail selling.

In 1907, Steven organized the Steven and Jarvis Lumber Company, with Arthur Jarvis, to deal in wholesale lumber. Steven was also involved with the Eau Claire Book and Stationery Company, and became vice-president in 1917 and president in 1921, succeeding William J. Starr.
