This vintage sales receipt from Henry & Cox, a distributor of Tom's Toasted Peanuts, dates back to the 1940s and originates from Knoxville, Tennessee. The receipt is printed on orange paper with red lettering, listing Chapman Highway and Brandeau Road as the business location. It features handwritten order details for cartons of toasted peanuts and peanut butter sandwiches, reflecting the commercial transactions of a mid-20th century local candy distributor. The receipt includes the owner's name, Fritz M. Cox, adding a personal touch to this piece of regional business ephemera.

Measuring approximately 6.5 x 3.5 inches, this receipt showcases the typical layout and typography of business documents from the era, with spaces for date, customer, quantities, and pricing. The paper shows signs of age with light creasing and slight discoloration but remains intact and legible. Collectors of vintage food advertising, regional Tennessee memorabilia, or mid-century business ephemera will find this an interesting and authentic artifact that offers a glimpse into the peanut and candy trade in the southern United States during the 1940s.
