This business is still operating in Huntsville. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty neat! I'm from Huntsville, AL, and am surprised to see something from the area show up in your neck of the woods!
ReplyDeleteW.L. Halsey is still in the wholesale food business in the Huntsville-area, but I doubt their bills look quite cool these days. ;-)

(Will have to see if there's a picture of their location from the time of the bill. Didn't see one on their website.)
I like the prices.
ReplyDeleteHow neat! Thanks for sharing!
