1893 W.J. Hunt Fruit Grower Sebastopol, CA Letterhead S.R. Buford Montana Scarce

Simeon R. Buford opened the region’s largest grocery store in Virginia City, Montana in 1878. Buford’s was the supply point for most of southwestern Montana, including the infant “Butte City.” In later years, Butte’s huge warehouses would, in turn, supply Buford’s own business. The store would become one of the most successful in Virginia City history, operating well into the 1920s

Hunt must have either run out of, or was nowhere near a standard order pad - a scarce hand written order.

Showing only minor signs of wear and handling consistent with its age. Dried adhesive remnants on right edge on the reverse - with some showing through on the front. Slight fold creases from posting. Clean surface and edges. Eye-catching bold and clear hand writing. In very good condition. Will display well in your collection. You will receive the exact example shown in the photos. It measures approx. 4 7/8" x 7 3/4"
