This 1922 billhead documents a wholesale dry goods transaction issued by Finch, Van Slyck & McConville of St Paul, Minnesota during the interwar expansion of consumer furnishings and home textiles.
St Paul functioned as a major Upper Midwest distribution center where jobbers and importers supplied rural and small-town merchants with household goods, rugs, and notions. Firms handling both dry goods and furnishing goods helped standardize domestic interiors by circulating quilts, bedding, and textile products through rail-linked warehouse systems that connected manufacturers to local retailers.
The document is dated August 19, 1922 and is addressed to a merchant in Somerset, Wisconsin. Line entries list quilts with pricing recorded beneath an engraved warehouse vignette and bold company masthead identifying the firm as jobbers, manufacturers, and importers of dry goods and furnishing goods. The structured layout combines branding and accounting detail on a single commercial sheet measuring 8 x 7 inches.
