Parkersburg West Virginia 1937 Harries Auto Electric Billhead 8 x 5.5

This 1937 billhead from Harries Auto Electric Company in Parkersburg, West Virginia reflects a specialized automotive service business operating during the late interwar period as automobile ownership became firmly established across the United States.

Independent garages and electrical specialists played a critical role in maintaining increasingly complex vehicle systems, particularly as starters, generators, and ignition components became standard features. Businesses like Harries Auto Electric positioned themselves as technical service providers, offering repair expertise tied to branded automotive parts and systems rather than general mechanical work alone.

The document features a structured commercial layout with the company name prominently printed at the top, followed by the address at 822 Mary Street and a clearly stated service line reading All Types Auto Electric Equipment. A vertical column at left lists associated automotive systems and brands, while the dated entry February 1, 1937 records a transaction billed to M Moore Store in Tunnelton, West Virginia. The clean ruled ledger format and handwritten entry for eight dollars illustrate typical small-business accounting practices of the period.
