Here is a shabby and aged vintage yellow receipt. The receipt dated February 17, 1906, on behalf of the Henry W. Plant Co., located at 56 Leonard Street in New York, shows that several afghans (knitted or crocheted blankets) were sold to the Atherton Furniture Co. of Lewiston Maine. The Henry W. Plant company was established in 1880. They were manufacturers of perfection fur robes for baby carriages, go-carts and sleigh robes. They also imported and manufactured China goat, China sheep, wild animal rugs and undertaker rugs.
While working on a junk journal recently, I finally(!) learned how to line up the back of the vintage invoices on my printer. Now I can print the matching back on the back side of the front on one sheet of paper. For those of you that like to do that, here is the back of the vintage yellow receipt.
A recent addition to my Etsy shop is a set of printable yellow and green floral botanical themed paper designs.

You’re welcome Linda.
I made a note to self to remember how to do it next time. I’ll share that note with you…
To line up printing of the back with the front: Duplicate the front of the receipt, flip it horizontally. Bring the back above the front, reduce the opacity of the back and line it up with the flipped front below it. Once they are lined up, bring the opacity of the back to 100%. Delete the duplicated/flipped front. Print the front of the receipt, turn your paper over in the printer. Print the back of the receipt on the second side.
I didn’t have borderless printing selected but I did have “Fit” selected in the advanced printer settings.
Hope this makes sense to you (I work in Photoshop).
