Comments left:	My father was the office manager for Guy's in the late 50's and early 60's. I helped do the yearly inventory several times as they needed someone small to slide down the roller style racks that held cases of chips. In the early years the Caldwell's lived in an apartment on Forest Ave in K.C.Mo. Mrs. Caldwell fried the chips and "Guy" delivered them around town. My family lived in a little house next door. My older brothers and parents told me they could smell the chips cooking every day. I was too young at that time and in 1950 we moved. About that time Guy and Mrs. Caldwell opened up the first production plant. I believe it was on Harrison st. somewhere around 18th st. It stayed there, that's where my father worked and where I helped out a few times. I used to get to go out to the production line and eat chips and nuts fresh out of the cookers. I also had an uncle who drove a delivery for Guys for several years. One year the Caldwells sold hundreds of cases of chips to my Boyscout troop at cost so we could sell them door to door as a fund raiser. That was troop number 27 from the southeast side of Kansas City. Does anyone else remember the chips coming in the big round cans? I think they were 3 pounders?
