This is a side-by-side comparison of a nineteenth-century advertising card with a Google Street View (from 2011) of the building depicted on the card.
It's quite surprising to discover that the façade of the building, which was a store in the late 1800s and today is a laundromat, hasn't changed much in over 100 years.
See a second Google Street View from a slightly different angle for a better view of the signs and window on the first floor.

An undated red-border Kodachrome slide (probably 1950s).
The Humpty Dumpty Potato Chip Company was originally a U.S. company (now it's called Humpty Dumpty Snack Foods and is based in Canada), and I believe that this Humpty Dumpty Potato Chips factory photo was taken somewhere in Maine in the 1950s.

One more Halloween photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park (post as many photos as you want--no limit!--that relate directly or indirectly to Halloween).
