This is an original billhead invoice from D.F. McIntire & Co., lumber dealers in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, Worcester County, dating back to April 1, 1873. A handwritten annotation slightly obscures the quantity, altering “32” to “26.”.
Also displayed is a graphic for “The Blooms Liquid Door Check,” implying its significance within their product line. Another handwritten note includes the words “George Fox [illegible] River Ground.”.
A nice touch is the way the movie stars are presented with clean lines and soft colors.
What stands out about this item is the Cartier brand lineage that it represents.
The firm’s principals are listed to the left as C.S. Ellett, A. Flournoy Watkins, and Stephen Hughes. “Cash and Draft” is faintly visible in the lower region. The paper exhibits discoloration and browning, particularly around the edges.
