Billhead for the drug firm established in 1848 by Dr. Charles Fronefield and Dr. Breinig. Contains vignette showing druggists' apparatus and supplies, including beakers, flasks, a scale, distiller, mortar and pestle, barrels, casks, and crates of oil of vitriol and glass.
Notes
Completed in manuscript to Mr. J. S. Stetter on December 31, 1852 for "Roll Sulph" for $21.93.
Manuscript note on recto: Dear Sir: There is a small bill standing against you since Nov./51. It was sent twice but the first time it got lost, which no one could justly say was our fault, but as it is somewhat hard for one to bear thy whole loss we are willing to lose 1/4; if it is satisfactory. When we send things to taverns as directed they pass out of our care entirely, we are only responsible for getting them there safely.
