How L M Berry & Co meets Dayton
This page is a join. One dimension is contributor city Dayton, OH. The other is employer or industry grouping L M Berry & Co. $76,256 is the intersection — dollars on receipts that carry both labels. $35,725,641 is the city bucket before the employer filter, built from 104,914 itemized lines. The harvested donor count inside the intersection is 8 donors, not a census of everyone in Dayton who ever worked in that trade.
LobbyVault does not add a third table and does not route these dollars through USAspending. A Form 3 itemization is not a federal award. Open the Dayton, OH city hub for the unfiltered city book, the L M Berry & Co industry hub for the grouping outside this city filter, Ohio campaign finance for the state roll-up, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Each of those pages answers a different question. This one answers only the intersection.
What the Dayton city book holds
Dayton indexes $35,725,641 ($35.7 million rounded) on 104,914 itemized individual contributions. City labels are filer-entered. A suburb that types a different city never enters $35,725,641. Joint-fundraising and committee addresses that happen to list Dayton can sit in the same bucket as residents. The packet does not publish a unique-donor count for the city as a whole, so this page does not invent one from 104,914.
Ohio campaign-finance pages cover the state, which is a larger geography than Dayton. Do not treat $35,725,641 as the OH state total. Unitemized federal gifts never carry a published city in this roll-up, so they never enter $35,725,641. State-office campaigns in Ohio file under state law and sit outside these FEC individual-contribution aggregates.
The L M Berry & Co slice inside Dayton
Inside Dayton, receipts tagged L M Berry & Co total $76,256 on 45 lines from 8 donors. That is 0.2% of $35,725,641. About $1,695 per receipt is $76,256 divided by 45. About $9,532 per harvested donor is $76,256 divided by 8. Those ratios describe shape. They are not medians, not typical household gifts, and not salaries.
L M Berry & Co is an employer string as typed on itemized receipts, historically tied to directory publishing, not a NAICS industry code. Eight donors and 45 receipts is a small cluster inside a city book of 104,914 lines. Treat the label as a search key. Do not upgrade it into a corporate census of everyone who ever worked at the firm, and do not treat Dayton as a company town on the strength of $76,256.
Repeat gifts, household pairs, and spelling variants of L M Berry & Co that did not match this key never enter $76,256. Repeat gifts that did match add to 45 without necessarily adding to 8. Keep line count and donor count attached to their nouns when citing Dayton.
What this join is not
It is not a ranking of Dayton neighborhoods. It is not a safety comparison. It is not proof that L M Berry & Co money funded a federal contract, grant, or loan. Campaign contributions and USAspending awards are different disclosure systems even when they mention the same city. This packet has no award dollars, so this page prints none.
It is not L M Berry & Co nationwide unless the industry hub — a different page — is cited separately, and this packet does not harvest that nationwide integer. It is not a PAC independent-expenditure total. Motive is not a field. Party split is not a field in this packet. Missing fields stay missing.

Then send the reader to the live Dayton, OH hub, the L M Berry & Co industry page, Ohio campaign finance, and All FEC ties. This prose is a packet snapshot. If a later extract disagrees, FEC.gov and the live hubs control. Do not add $76,256 to $35,725,641; the first number is already inside the second.
Using the Dayton and L M Berry & Co hubs together
The Dayton, OH hub is the unfiltered city index: $35,725,641 on 104,914 lines. The L M Berry & Co hub is the grouping without this city’s filter; this packet does not print that nationwide integer, so do not guess it from $76,256. Ohio campaign finance is the state roll-up, a larger geography than Dayton. All FEC ties is the inventory of other two-table pages. Use all four links. None of them turns $76,256 into a federal award.
If you need names, open the live city and industry hubs rather than reverse-engineering 8 donors from this snapshot. If you need cycle cuts of Dayton, those are city-cycle joins, not this file. If you need L M Berry & Co in a single even-year window, those are industry-cycle joins. This file stays on one city and one employer string: Dayton and L M Berry & Co, $76,256, 45 receipts, 8 donors.
