Kudos, Eva! Yes, Robert Lincoln purchased an umbrella for 75 cents on January 17, 1859. The Lincoln family had a credit account at the store and settled their account several times a year. However, not all customers were as good about this as the Lincolns, and in 1860 Smith announced he would no longer give credit to customers.

Clark Moulton Smith owned the store along with his brother, Stephen. He married Mary Lincoln's sister, Ann, in 1846.
