St Paul Minnesota 1919 Finch Van Slyck McConville Dry Goods Billhead 8 x 7

This 1919 billhead records a wholesale dry goods transaction issued by Finch, Van Slyck & McConville of St. Paul for a regional retail customer.

Dry goods jobbers supplied clothing, textiles, and household merchandise to small-town merchants across the Upper Midwest, operating as distribution hubs between manufacturers and rural storefronts. Firms like Finch, Van Slyck & McConville coordinated credit terms, shipping, and insurance while standardizing invoicing practices that supported rapid stock replenishment during the postwar consumer rebound.

The document is dated July 3, 1919 and is addressed to La Grandeur Mercantile Company of Somerset, Wisconsin. The invoice lists shirts as the primary item, with charges for post and insurance, and displays the firm’s illustrated warehouse letterhead identifying it as a dealer in dry goods, notions, rugs, and furnishing goods. Handwritten totals and accounting marks preserve the working record of a completed commercial exchange.
