Lodi California 1913 J R Pearson Grain Coal Wood Hay Billhead 8 x 7

This 1913 billhead from Lodi, California documents a transaction with J. R. Pearson, a dealer in hay, grain, wood, and coal during a period of agricultural expansion in California’s Central Valley.

Local suppliers such as Pearson operated at the center of regional farm economies, providing essential materials for both crop production and daily operations. Businesses dealing in fuel and feed products reflect the mixed agricultural and infrastructural needs of early twentieth-century communities, where wood and coal supported domestic and industrial use alongside livestock and grain supply.

The document features a clean printed header with the business name and commodity listings, paired with handwritten entries detailing specific purchases including coal and block materials. The structured ledger format organizes quantities and prices within ruled columns, while the dated entry and signature authenticate the transaction. Fold lines and light toning are consistent with period business correspondence and storage practices.
