Interesting coupons. Someone has one of these on e-bay at this link: http://cgi.ebay.ph/OLD-COUPON-CHAIN...160481222448So far, I've been able to figure out the company name as "Chain Deliveries Express, Inc." of 719 Washington Street, New York, NY" and they had a legal notice in NY Times on 12/23/1947 about bankruptcy proceedings. |

If I only knew where to put them.
I figure 1 more day and you all will figure it out!
I've never seen a question on this forum not get answered. |

Cool Rod, well then I guess I'll be rich off the extras. I have 52 of these little buggers...
Smauggie would these be in the private section of the Specilized Catalog you think? |

Assuming this is Chain Deliveries Express, Inc., these two news articles might be of interest: The first one I mentioned previously about bankruptcy proceedings dating to 1947:  I guess they must have reorganized as they were in existence through 1961 as they are one of those objecting to the Post Office's Parcel Post Plan from that year:  |
