🥫 Original 1906 billhead from WHITE, WILSON, DREW COMPANY, wholesale grocers of Memphis, U.S.A., located at No. 126 and 128 S. Front St. The ornate header advertises PUCK BRAND GOODS with a large “PUCK BRAND — WORTH THE MONEY” illustrated trademark and long distance telephone mark, No. 97.
DOCUMENT DETAILS / ITEMIZATION
📜 Dated 9/28/06. Sold to CARTER GOODWIN & CO., MAURY CITY, TENN. Terms printed as 30 DAYS, with handwritten “Oct. 1st.” Also shows discount terms: 1% OFF IN 10 DAYS.
🍅 Itemized entry reads: “5¢ Puck Tomatoes” / quantity 10 / price .95 / total $9.50.
HISTORICAL CONTEXT
🥫 This is a strong early 1900s Southern wholesale grocery billhead tied directly to branded canned goods advertising. The Puck Brand artwork and “Worth the Money” slogan give it much more visual appeal than a plain grocery invoice.
WHY THIS STANDS OUT
📞 Great Memphis wholesale grocer header, bold typography, Puck Brand advertising vignette, long distance telephone reference, Tennessee customer connection, and a clean single-item tomato order with clear $9.50 total.
CONDITION
📄 Original fold lines, age toning, edge/corner wear, staining along the left and upper edges, and handling wear as shown. Strong display piece with highly readable printing and purple typewritten entries.
