This 1890 billhead documents a transaction from Jacob Dold Packing Company, a major Buffalo meat-packing firm serving regional trade networks at the end of the nineteenth century.
Large packing companies in this period formed a critical link between Midwestern livestock production and urban consumer markets, supplying meat products to wholesalers, grocers, and institutional buyers. Printed billheads functioned as both accounting tools and brand statements, reinforcing business identity through consistent typography and formal commercial language during an era of expanding national distribution.
The letter is dated Buffalo, New York, August 27, 1890, and acknowledges receipt of a payment toward a prior invoice, reflecting routine credit and settlement practices in late nineteenth-century commerce. The printed header identifies the Jacob Dold Packing Company office at 743 William Street, with handwritten and typed entries preserving the original financial and correspondence details. The sheet measures 8 x 5 and retains its original business layout and format.
