Sacramento California 1910s Wood Curtis Company Billhead Receipt 8 x 7

This billhead dates to the 1910s and documents a transaction issued by the Wood-Curtis Company of Sacramento, California, a wholesale produce firm involved in the regional agricultural distribution network of early twentieth-century California.

During this period Sacramento functioned as an important commercial hub connecting Central Valley farms with rail shipment networks serving California and national markets. Produce houses and commission merchants coordinated the purchase, packing, and shipment of crops including potatoes, beans, and other vegetables grown throughout the valley. Companies like Wood-Curtis operated as intermediaries between growers and wholesale buyers, handling large shipments that moved by rail from agricultural districts into regional distribution channels.

The illustrated billhead features an elaborate printed design including a prominent red rooster emblem, the firm name Wood-Curtis Company, and text identifying the business as growers and shippers of produce. The document records a shipment sold to C. Sonacco Company of Sutter Creek, California, including quantities of Washington Gem potatoes and associated freight charges. A small illustration of a commercial building appears at left, while additional advertising text promotes produce products and seeds handled by the company.
