Stockton California 1923 San Francisco Italian Paste Company Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1923 billhead records a transaction issued in Stockton, California, by the San Francisco Italian Paste Company during a period of expanding regional food manufacturing and distribution.

In the early twentieth century, Italian-American food producers played a growing role in California’s commercial landscape, supplying dried pasta and related staples to urban and agricultural markets alike. The term “paste,” used widely at the time, reflects an Old World naming convention for pasta products and appears frequently in company branding and trade documents from this era of immigrant-founded food enterprises.

The billhead identifies the San Francisco Italian Paste Company as a manufacturer of high-grade Italian pastes, listing macaroni, spaghetti, and vermicelli, with a printed address at 619 East Lafayette Street and period telephone information. The form is dated April 18, 1923, with handwritten accounting entries and signatures that document an active commercial exchange, giving the piece primary-source value as a working business record rather than a purely decorative letterhead.
