Nice piece of memorabilia
from Perry's Nut House.
(Perry’s Nut House has been referred to as a Maine institution
since 1927 when I.L. Perry first opened his doors to sell pecans
and other assorted nuts. Mr. Perry took advantage of a bumper
crop of pecans in Georgia, bringing the taste of the South to
the folks of “Downeast” Maine. He also had added some curios
and museum pieces collected on his travels. This was so successful
that Mr. Perry needed a larger shop to do business in, so he move
Perry’s to his cigar factory on Route 1. Originally a sea captain’s
home, Perry used it to store and make cigars, before turning it into
the Nut House. As Perry’s reputation grew, not only for the unusual,
but quality goods as well as the tasty nuts, such notables as Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Waldo Pierce (prominent painter and friend
of Ernest Hemingway,) Fay Emerson (film and television actress,)
and Pierre Monteux (symphony conductor and instructor) were
counted among the many customers. At the time, Perry was
mentioned in the same breath as promoters
Ziegfield and P.T. Barnum.)
