This original 1897 billhead from Jas. H. & Theo. L\'Hommedieu, wholesale dealers in coal, masons\' building materials, and bluestone, offers a fascinating glimpse into late 19th-century commerce in Long Island City, New York. The document, dated October 4, 1897, features elegant typography and a decorative coal emblem, highlighting the company\'s established reputation since 1845. The bill records a transaction for 19 1/10 tons of four pea coal sold to M. F. & McLanahan Receiver, reflecting the industrial and building supply needs of the era.Printed on lined paper with handwritten details, the billhead is notable for its clear legibility, vintage letterpress design, and historical value as a commercial artifact. The letterhead includes the company\'s office and yard location at Vernon Avenue & Newtown Creek, adjoining a bridge, and the phone number 234 Greenpoint, providing context to its original business environment. Collectors of 19th-century ephemera, industrial history, or regional New York artifacts will find this piece a valuable addition to their collection.
