Duluth Minnesota 1928 Zenith Interstate News Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1928 billhead documents a weekly newspaper and periodicals account maintained by Zenith Interstate News Company in Duluth, Minnesota.

During the interwar years, newspaper distributors formed a critical link between urban publishers and small-town readers, moving daily papers, magazines, and trade periodicals along rail and truck routes across the Upper Midwest. Companies like Zenith Interstate coordinated delivery schedules, credit terms, and inventory for local drugstores, newsstands, and general merchants, making printed statements a routine part of media commerce before radio and television reshaped information markets.

The document is headed Zenith Interstate News Co., Distributors for Duluth, Minnesota and Superior, Wisconsin, Wholesale Periodicals, with an address at 116 West Michigan Street in Duluth. It is dated August 1928 and addressed to Allouez Drug, with handwritten ledger entries for late July showing weekly charges and a balance due noted in the right-hand columns. The form includes printed terms of weekly settlement and retains its original accounting layout with red ruling and period ink entries. The billhead measures approximately 8 x 5.5 inches.
