Lodi California Graham Drug Store Eastern Star Ice Cream 1915 Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1915 billhead records a transaction from Graham’s Drug Store in Lodi, California, tied to the Eastern Star Lodge and local commercial activity.

Graham’s Drug Store operated as part of the early twentieth-century retail pharmacy network, where druggists commonly sold medicines alongside stationery and everyday goods. The business format reflects a period when local pharmacies functioned as essential community hubs, handling both medical supplies and general merchandise. The printed header identifies the Sacramento Street location and emphasizes the store’s dual role in drugs, medicines, and stationery, aligning with typical small-town commercial structures of the era.

The document features a clean ledger-style layout with handwritten entries, including a charge associated with Eastern Star Lodge activity and a named individual. The date is clearly marked August 26, 1915, with structured columns below for itemization and totals, though sparsely filled in this example. Two punched holes along the left margin indicate filing for record-keeping, while the flowing script and ink entries add a strong personal and transactional layer to the otherwise standardized printed form.
