St Paul Minnesota 1913 J W Fillebrown Fruit Invoice Billhead 8.5 x 5.5

This 1913 billhead from J. W. Fillebrown & Co. in St. Paul documents a wholesale fruit transaction within the Upper Midwest’s produce distribution network.

St. Paul operated as a key commercial center linking rail-based supply chains from California and other growing regions to northern markets. Commission and wholesale fruit dealers handled large volumes of perishable goods, coordinating shipments of grapes, apples, plums, and citrus while supplying grocers, hotels, and regional merchants within an expanding urban economy.

The billhead features a formal typographic header identifying the company as dealers in foreign and domestic fruits, with the address at 79 East Third Street. Itemized entries list quantities of grapes, apples, and plums with corresponding prices, arranged in a structured ledger format. A stamped customer name appears near the top, and the clean layout reflects standardized accounting practices used in early twentieth-century produce trade.
