E.S. Levy & Co. Clothiers, Galveston, Texas 1895 Billhead

About 4.5 X 8.5 inches with the upper-right corner damaged and darkened. Very mild wear otherwise. This scarce billhead is from E.S. Levy & Co. located at Nos. 2213 & 2215 Market Street in Galveston, Texas. The upper-left corner displays a nice graphic of the Levy family coat-of-arms--two griffins (gryphons) superimposed with a shield displaying a crown and the letter L. The sale was for a suit to Robert Smith for $15 on June 3, 1895. Payment appears to have been received Jul 1, 1895 as indicated by a red-ink stamp, top-right corner near the damaged area and marked Paid in pencil. Abraham Levy started the business with a partner in 1877 (Levy & Wells). After his death two years later in 1879, his son Edward S. Levy took over and renamed the company E.S. Levy & Co. The company endured 102 years, closing its doors in 1979.
