Three flat bed trucks loaded with cases of Post Toasties. The signs on the side of two of the trucks say "This car load of Post Toasties for the John D. Hamilton Co., Tacoma, Wash. to be used in Hamilton's Dutch Treat and Gravy Bar. ...Biggest selling 5 (cent?) bars in the West." John D. Hamilton was J.C. Haley's, of Brown & Haley, brother-in-law. He learned candy making as a superintendent in the Brown and Haley plant. In 1923, he left to form his own candy company, Hamilton Candy. The company was in business until 1970. G33.1-124
