Sacramento California 1910 Belvedere Meat Market Butcher Billhead 8 x 5

This document is dated July 30, 1910 and originates from the Belvedere Meat Market in Sacramento, California, operated by Silva, Almeida & Co., offering fresh and salt meats with weekly fish availability.

Neighborhood meat markets formed an essential part of early twentieth-century urban food distribution, supplying households with daily provisions before widespread refrigeration and centralized grocery chains. Businesses like Belvedere Meat Market emphasized product variety and freshness, often advertising specialties such as cured meats and scheduled fish deliveries to distinguish themselves within competitive local markets.

The billhead features a bold printed business header with a butcher’s cow illustration, followed by handwritten ledger entries itemizing purchases and totals. The combination of printed branding and cursive accounting entries reflects its dual role as both promotional stationery and a working financial record, preserving a snapshot of everyday commerce in Sacramento during the period.
