This August 27, 1909 billhead from Fields and Jackson documents a retail transaction in Sacramento, California, during the early twentieth-century trade in second-hand goods.
Fields and Jackson advertised junk and second-hand goods of every description, reflecting the broad resale economy that flourished in growing Western cities. The printed header features bold typography centered on the firm’s name, with Sacramento, Cal. and the date line clearly printed above. Such establishments often handled surplus merchandise, household goods, scrap, and resalable items that circulated through urban commercial districts.
The handwritten entry notes five dozen whiskey flasks totaling one dollar, signed at bottom by the recipient. Ink entries remain legible, and the ledger-style ruling is visible beneath the writing. Fold lines, toning, and light edge wear are consistent with age and original business handling. The sheet measures approximately 8 x 7 inches and presents strong appeal for collectors of Sacramento ephemera and early resale trade documents.
