Great Falls Montana Saddlery L J Creswell Proprietor 1906 Billhead 8.5 x 6

This July 31, 1906 billhead from Great Falls, Montana was issued by Great Falls Saddlery, operated by L. J. Creswell at 408 Central Avenue.

At the height of the region’s ranching and freight era, saddleries supplied the harness, draft gear, and stock equipment that kept agricultural and transportation networks functioning across central Montana. Printed letterheads such as this one served as both advertising and financial record, presenting the firm’s specialty in buggy, hack, express, and draft harness along with teamsters’ and stockmen’s equipment.

The bold purple header prominently reads Great Falls Saddlery and lists L. J. Creswell as proprietor, with the address noted as 408 Central Avenue under the Sign of the White Horse. The handwritten entries record two dog hame straps dated July 19 and July 23, totaling 5.25, offering a concise but tangible example of working trade in early twentieth century Great Falls.
