Description: Here's a standard-sized matchbook cover from Jays Foods, Inc. of Chicago and Milwaukee, advertising Jays Potato Chips and other Jays snack food products, including Barbecue Flavored Potato Chips, Shoe String Potatoes, Toasted Pretzels, and Popcorn. The matchbook carries 2 slogans, "A Pip of a Chip" and "Can't stop eating em".
The inside invites people to "Enjoy Other Delicious Jays Products" and lists RIPPLED POTATO DIPPETTES, ONION N' GARLIC POTATO CHIPS, CHEEZELETS, O-KE-DOKE, and CARAMEL CORN.
Produced by Superior Match Co., Chicago, U.S.A.
Actual Size: approx. 2" x 1.5" (closed)
Date: Not dated, but it's likely from the 1950s, or perhaps the 1960s.
Condition: Just good, I'd say. The cover is somewhat soiled and the center of the striker strip shows some damage, both from the removal of the original staple and from a second set of staple holes that go all the way through the striker strip and the front and back of the cover. (Please see scans.)
