Stockton California 1926 Foppiano Solari Fruit Produce Billhead 10 x 8.5

This 1926 billhead records a transaction from Foppiano, Solari & Co., a wholesale fruit and produce firm operating in Stockton, California, during a period when the Central Valley was a major hub for agricultural distribution.

Stockton functioned as a key shipping and packing center, linking regional farms to broader markets through rail and river transport. Wholesale produce houses like Foppiano, Solari & Co. coordinated the movement of bulk goods, and the document reflects this system through its structured invoice format, including columns for weight, price, and extended totals. The reference to items such as Sacks Peerless points to commodity-grade agricultural products handled in volume for resale and distribution.

The billhead itself features a bold typographic header identifying the company and its Weber Avenue location, paired with a clean, functional layout designed for commercial recordkeeping. Signs of handling, edge wear, and filing use are consistent with working documents of the period, while the handwritten entries provide direct evidence of a specific transaction within California’s early twentieth-century produce trade network.
