Sacramento California 1890s Friend Terry Lumber Billhead 8 x 7

This 1890s billhead documents a transaction from Friend and Terry Lumber in Sacramento, California, reflecting the city’s role as a key distribution point for building materials during a period of regional expansion.

Lumber firms in late nineteenth-century California were central to construction and infrastructure growth, supplying timber, doors, and millwork sourced from Pacific Northwest forests and inland milling operations. Sacramento’s position along river and rail routes made it an important hub for receiving and redistributing these materials to surrounding towns and agricultural developments.

The billhead features printed company branding at top with “Friend & Terry Lumber Co.” prominently displayed, along with descriptive text outlining available products and sourcing locations. Handwritten ledger entries detail quantities, dimensions, and pricing, with period ink calculations and a marked payment notation visible in the lower portion. The structured layout presents a standardized accounting format typical of commercial stationery of the era.
