This 1915 billhead documents a transaction issued by Cassinelli & Arata, general commission merchants operating in Stockton, California during the early twentieth-century expansion of Central Valley produce distribution.
Produce merchants in this period functioned as intermediaries between growers, urban markets, and rail transport, coordinating sales and deliveries across regional networks centered on towns such as Stockton. Business stationery from agricultural firms reflects the formal systems used to track quantities, prices, and settlement of accounts as fruit and vegetable trade became increasingly organized and commercialized.
The billhead is printed for Cassinelli & Arata, General Commission Merchants, with an address at 127 East Channel Street in Stockton, California, and is dated April 1915. It shows handwritten entries for produce quantities and prices with a notation indicating the account was paid, and includes period telephone information at the top. The layout features a bold business heading above ruled accounting columns, presenting a clear working document of early twentieth-century produce commerce.
