Scope and content
A display of Nalley's potato chips at the Big Bear Store. Potato chips were Marcus Nalley's first product, prepared in his own small kitchen, fried in cooking oil, and packed in paper bags. "This is only the beginning" was his favorite comment during the 1930's and it was certainly true. This rack includes two sizes, 25 cent and 39 cent, of the regional favorite potato chips. Krun-chees and pop corn were 10 cents a bag. Bags of Ruffles Potato Chips hang along the left hand side. Hanging in the middle of the display is a copy of an ad that ran in Sunset magazine. (South on the Sound, Murray and Rosa Morgan)
