Parkersburg West Virginia 1937 Star Grocer Billhead Palestine 8.5 x 7.5

This billhead dates to December 18, 1937 and documents a wholesale transaction from The Star Grocer Company of Parkersburg, West Virginia, to Monroe Store Co. in Palestine, West Virginia.

Regional wholesale grocers played a central role in supplying small-town general stores with packaged goods, staples, and tobacco products during the interwar period. The document features a structured invoice format listing quantities and pricing for items such as sugar, coffee, tobacco, and household goods, reflecting the distribution networks that supported rural retail commerce. The printed company header and standardized terms section establish the business identity and transactional framework typical of late 1930s commercial paperwork.

The billhead presents a clean typographic layout with itemized entries aligned in columns, including product descriptions, quantities, and corresponding prices. The Parkersburg location is prominently displayed at the top, while the customer information identifies Palestine, West Virginia, providing clear geographic context for the transaction. The reverse includes printed contractual terms, reinforcing its function as both invoice and agreement document.
