Boston Massachusetts 1904 Byron E Bailey Lilliputian Clothiers Billhead 8 x 7

This 1904 Boston billhead records a transaction from Byron E. Bailey and Company, clothiers operating at 31 and 33 Winter Street in the city’s downtown retail district.

Boston’s Winter Street formed part of the dense commercial core serving shoppers in the early twentieth century, with specialty clothing merchants and dry goods houses clustered near Washington Street and the major department stores. Retail firms marketed distinctive brands and specialty lines to distinguish themselves within the competitive urban clothing trade, including garments designed specifically for children and young customers.

The billhead features the printed letterhead of Byron E. Bailey and Company alongside the brand mark “The Lilliputian,” a trade name associated with children’s clothing. The design combines decorative script branding with a structured accounting ledger below for recording transactions. Handwritten entries and a dated Boston heading from June 1904 illustrate the typical commercial documentation used by clothing retailers in the period, while the Winter Street address anchors the business within Boston’s historic shopping district.
