Details:

John F. Kennedy pair of original Best & Co. department store receipts dated October 26, 1962, issued to “John F. Kennedy” at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C. The two receipts document purchases made at the prestigious Washington department store and are addressed directly to President Kennedy at the White House. One receipt totals $14.42 and references several department store purchases, while the second totals $17.51 and includes additional merchandise entries. Both receipts bear contemporaneous store charge stamps and period handwritten notations.

Fine condition.

Best & Co. was one of America’s premier luxury department stores during the mid-20th century, serving many of the nation’s most prominent political and social families. These receipts originate from the famous White House household records maintained during the Kennedy administration and provide a fascinating glimpse into the day-to-day personal purchases associated with the First Family. Unlike formal presidential correspondence or official documents, surviving household receipts offer an unusually intimate window into the routines and domestic life of Camelot-era Washington.
