Plattsburgh New York 1898 E G Moore Boots Shoes Billhead 8.5 x 4

This 1898 billhead from E. G. Moore & Co. of Plattsburgh, New York records a wholesale footwear transaction during a period when regional supply houses distributed goods across northern New York and surrounding markets.

Plattsburgh functioned as a commercial center along Lake Champlain, connecting inland communities with broader trade networks. Businesses specializing in boots, shoes, and related goods supplied retailers and general stores with seasonal inventory, including items such as rubbers, gloves, and mittens suited to the region’s climate.

The billhead features bold printed typography identifying E. G. Moore & Co. as wholesale dealers and jobbers, with product categories prominently listed across the header. A structured ledger format below includes handwritten entries for items such as grain and seal boots, with quantities, pricing, and extended totals aligned in columns. The document is dated August 31, 1898 at the top, with visible ruling lines, ink entries, and light toning consistent with period business records.
