This September 1, 1908 billhead from Childress, Texas records transactions for Estes & Atkinson, dealers in drugs, druggists’ sundries, and general supply goods.
Estes & Atkinson operated as a regional pharmacy and supply house, offering not only medicinal goods but also wall paper, glass, paints, oils, and varnish. The printed blue header and ruled red ledger grid reflect the commercial stationery conventions of early twentieth-century Texas mercantile businesses during a period of steady expansion across the High Plains.
The handwritten ledger entries list purchases from June through August, including glass, castor oil, chambray, enamel, bolts of paper, lamp black, red mineral oil, putty, and cord. Pencil calculations and ink totals appear along the right margin, documenting routine supply transactions in a working frontier-era commercial environment.
