This photograph showing the rear view of a Dodge truck displaying Nalley's products was taken on August 9, 1950. Nalley's Inc., had a large delivery fleet. The Fort Lewis sticker above the license plate on truck #184 indicates that this vehicle probably made deliveries of potato chips and other foods to the military base. Nalley's Inc., founded by Marcus Nalley in 1918, had a large factory built in 1940 on a 17 acre plot of land on the (then) outskirts of town. It became known as Nalley Valley.
