This rare surviving page from the University of Edinburgh Centre for Research Collections, is part of a statement for services rendered by T A Dollar & Sons to one of their customers, J E Taylor Esq of 20 Kensington Palace Gardens. Coincidentally, the Mr Taylor living at this expensive address was the founder, owner, and first editor of what was then the Manchester Guardian.
Disappointingly, none of the entries on this page (covering a six-month period in 1901) refers the use of the Dollar Turkish bath. It is, of course, possible that it was used later in the year, but it should not be forgotten that not everyone agreed that the Turkish bath benefited animals.
