This antique receipt was prepared on behalf of Conant Bros. Co., manufacturers of Looking Glasses and Pictures, of 18 Elm Street, Cor. Washington, in Boston. The receipt is dated April 14, 1908. Goods were sold to Atherton Furniture Co., of Lewiston, Maine. The company purchased a 24 x 18 Bev. Fr. #7 (I assume that is short for a beveled frame) for $2.30. It cost 35 cents to have the item boxed. The total order, number 3154, came to $2.65. It was paid by check on April 24, 1908.
The typing in the upper left-hand corner of this antique receipt indicates Conant Bros. Co. had a telephone connection, although a number is not included.

Julie, thank you. The artwork on many of these old receipts is so amazing. Often I wonder how many of these buildings still exist. I always appreciate old receipts, billheads, letterheads and the like. Thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome, Katie. I’m happy to know you appreciate the old receipts. I sometimes wonder as well how many of these old buildings still exist. ?
I haven’t checked the price of glass lately but frames are unbelievably expensive. Even the ones with acrylic in place of glass cost more than the print they’re going to frame.
Thanks, Julie!
You’re welcome, Kathy. ? That’s interesting. I haven’t purchased a frame in years. I didn’t realize they were so expensive now.
