The W.G. Shipley Baking Company began baking bread, Mrs. Shipley’s fine cakes and pastries, and other Holsum Dairy goods on July 1, 1927. Their main bakery in Fayetteville was on Dickson Street for years, and was converted into restaurants and retail space in the late 1990s. The building at left is now the Bangkok Cuisine restaurant while the building on the right recently reopened as a Wasabi restaurant. Although the exterior of the buildings has only changed minimally, the fragrance of baker's yeast no longer fills the alley. This postally unused card was a Curteich C.T. Art-Colortone card printed in Chicago.
