Sacramento California 1916 A S Hopkins Paper Goods Billhead Invoice 8.5 x 7

This 1916 business invoice was issued by A. S. Hopkins Company of Sacramento, California, a wholesale supplier of paper goods and related merchandise serving regional merchants during the early twentieth century.

Sacramento functioned as a major commercial distribution center for Northern California during this period, linking manufacturers and wholesalers with smaller town merchants throughout the interior valleys and foothill communities. Firms dealing in wrapping paper, stationery, and store supplies played an important role in supporting general stores, mercantile houses, and hardware businesses as retail trade expanded across the region. Wholesale paper goods companies commonly provided packaging materials, bags, and related shop supplies needed for everyday retail operations.

The billhead features the A. S. Hopkins Co. name with the red Asco trademark emblem and identifies the firm as jobbers and importers. The printed heading lists merchandise categories including wrapping paper, paper bags, stationery, notions, and woodenware. Dated September 29, 1916, the invoice records items sold to C. C. Young Co. of Taylorsville, California, including milk pans, shoes, common clothes pins, enamel wash basins, tea kettles, and galvanized oil cans, with the transaction totaling $18.25.
