Toledo Ohio 1885 Barker Dwight Wholesale Coal Billhead 8.5 x 5.5

This 1885 billhead records a memorandum of credit issued by Barker and Dwight, a wholesale coal firm operating in Toledo, Ohio, during a period of expanding industrial fuel demand.

Coal distribution firms in the late nineteenth century formed the backbone of urban and industrial energy supply, handling bulk fuel transactions tied to rail networks and regional commerce. Printed billheads from these businesses emphasize company identity through formal typography, seals, and structured accounting fields designed for credit and debit tracking.

The document features a printed header for Barker and Dwight with a circular emblem and the designation wholesale coal, along with a memorandum of credit format. Handwritten entries note a credit amount of five hundred dollars, referencing a prior charge dated November 20, 1885. The layout presents ruled lines for transaction details and signatures, while light toning and surface marks reflect typical archival aging of business correspondence.
