Sennett New York 1900s Sennett Creamery Butter Dairy Billhead Receipt 8 x 5.5

This billhead dates to the early 1900s and records a transaction from the Sennett Creamery of Sennett, New York, documenting the purchase and processing of milk used in butter production during the period when rural dairy cooperatives formed the backbone of regional agriculture.

Located in Cayuga County near Auburn, Sennett was part of a productive agricultural region where dairy farming played a major role in the local economy. Small creameries operated throughout central New York, collecting milk from nearby farms and using emerging mechanical processes to separate cream and manufacture butter for regional distribution. These businesses linked rural producers with expanding urban markets, particularly in cities across New York State.

The printed billhead prominently identifies The Sennett Creamery as manufacturers of Fancy Butter by Separator Process, reflecting the adoption of modern centrifugal cream separators that improved efficiency and consistency in butter production. Ledger entries record the weight of milk supplied, butterfat calculations, and butter withdrawals credited to the patron account. The document illustrates the cooperative accounting system commonly used by dairy creameries to track farmer deliveries and payments.
