Burkhardt Wisconsin 1894 Burkhardt Mill Grain Flour Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1894 billhead records a flour and grain sale from Burkhardt Mill, a merchant milling operation serving rural Wisconsin markets in the late nineteenth century.

Small merchant mills formed the backbone of local food distribution in agricultural regions, converting wheat and other grains into finished flour for nearby towns and farms. These businesses operated as both producers and dealers, linking harvest cycles to household consumption and regional trade. Printed billheads reinforced commercial credibility while standardizing transactions between millers and their customers.

The document is headed C. Burkhardt, Merchant Miller and Grain Dealer, Burkhardt, Wisconsin, with decorative printed panels listing hard wheat flour brands and related products such as rye flour, buckwheat flour, and corn meal. It is dated July 23, 1894, and sold to a customer in Somerset, Wisconsin, with prices noted at mill. Handwritten entries itemize barrels of Langola and Straight flour, with quantities, rates, and a totaled amount written across the right side, illustrating period bookkeeping practice. The sheet measures approximately 8 x 5.5 inches.
