San Francisco California F E Booth Fish Market 1928 Billhead Invoice 6" x 8"

This 1928 billhead from San Francisco, California documents a wholesale seafood transaction issued by the F. E. Booth Company, one of the West Coast’s major fish packing and distribution firms.

F. E. Booth operated an extensive seafood business during the early twentieth century, distributing fresh and preserved fish throughout California and beyond. The company maintained headquarters at 110 Market Street in San Francisco and operated a Fresh Fish Department branch on the waterfront at Melrose Wharf near the foot of Taylor Street. Firms like Booth helped connect coastal fisheries with inland markets, supplying retailers and distributors through a network that relied on rail shipment, cold storage, and rapid handling of perishable seafood products.

The document is dated January 18, 1928 and issued to W. H. Cutts of Lodi, California, reflecting the inland distribution network that connected Central Valley towns to San Francisco’s seafood trade. The printed letterhead features the Booth’s Crescent Brand fish emblem along with company address information and the wharf branch listing. Transaction figures appear in red and black accounting stamps near the center of the page, while the lower portion of the sheet shows typical spacing used for itemized entries and totals.
