Kemp Nuts Tin
This simple black-and-white tin once held Kemp Nuts, a product that would have brought a taste of quality snacking to Stuart homes and businesses during the early-to-mid twentieth century. Kemp was among the many brands that competed for shelf space in local grocery stores as Stuart grew from a railroad outpost into a thriving community.
