    This is 13 3/4" by 9", on thin stock; it's been glued to some surface, but survived removal, much to my delight! I'm hoping some of you NW neighbors can offer history about these folks; their bill is a bit vague regarding specifics about their goods...apparently they were well-enough known that it wasn't necessary to offer details beyond these 14 words.
    Butcher? Baker? Candlestick Maker? Thanks for lookin'!

    Groceries. From the type face, yours is a bit later.

    Or, perhaps specifically, canned goods of quite a variety. I've never seen 'Catsup' in cans, nor Syrups (plural). for that matter. Thanks, Debora!

    Pshaw. Who sees catsup and syrups in cans on grocery shelves these days? For the food industry, not homes.
