Charleston West Virginia 1936 Lewis Hubbard Coffee Billhead 8.5 x 7

This 1936 Charleston, West Virginia billhead records a wholesale coffee order from Lewis, Hubbard and Company, manufacturers of food specialties based in the city.

Charleston served as an important commercial center in West Virginia during the early twentieth century, supporting regional distribution networks tied to coal towns, small rural communities, and local general stores. Food manufacturers and wholesalers supplied packaged staples such as coffee, canned goods, and specialty groceries to merchants throughout the Appalachian region, often using printed invoices and order forms to manage shipments and credit transactions.

The billhead features a bold printed letterhead for Lewis, Hubbard and Company identifying the firm as manufacturers of food specialties in Charleston. The ledger-style order section lists coffee products including Suez Coffee, Spoon Coffee, and Hammer Coffee with quantities, unit pricing, and extensions recorded in column format. Handwritten notes indicate the order date and payment by check, while the worn paper and creasing illustrate the everyday commercial paperwork associated with small-town retail supply chains during the 1930s.
