Dr. A. A. Wasson Billhead, Dental Surgeon, York, Pa., April 22, 1893

Dr. A. A. Wasson Billhead, Dental Surgeon, York, Pa., April 22, 1893
Dr. Andrew Aikens Wasson (1844-1918) used this billhead in his dental practice in York, Pennsylvania, in the 1890s. I can't quite decipher the handwriting to determine what service he provided for Lewis Shriver on April 22, 1893, but it's notable, I suppose, that it only cost $10.00.

A unique part of the billhead is the star-shaped logo that includes Wasson's portrait, a heart, a pair of pointing hands (manicules), and—yikes!—two extracted teeth (see a cropped version for a better view of the design).

"Dr. A. A. Wasson, Dr. Dental Surgeon, 214 W. Market Street. Terms cash. York, Pa., April 22, 1893. Mr. Lewis Shriver. [????], $10.00. Rec'd payment, A. A. Wasson, D.D.S."
