Billheads from these firms served both as invoices and as advertising stationery, often featuring detailed engraved imagery highlighting factory facilities and brand identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1410\"\u003eThe billhead displays the decorative letterhead The Jacob Dold Packing Co.
