La Casa Buitron appears to have been a hardware store (ferretería) in the calle Zaragoza, run at some time by a señor Leal.

José Buitron had a printshop, tipografia J. Buitron, situated in the plaza principal, that as well as these notes (judging from their multicoloured appearance) also printed the notes for the Hacienda de Tepenahua y Anexas.
