There was an industry journal called the Peanut Promoter that used to advertise Bel-Car-Mo peanut butter more broadly than Grand Rapids but I can't imagine how else the Gunzenhauser's of Lancaster would have connected with Bel-Car-Mo folks. Anyway all that matters in the bio of Koeze Cream-Nut Peanut Butter is this.... it is the world's best peanut butter!

Thanks! I think there is little chance of any connection between the Gunzenhauser bakery in Lancaster and Bel-Car-Mo. I suspect some misuse of somebody's intellectual property.

The Gunzenhauser bakery was at Prince St in Lancaster: http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-9204401.html So you are correct the sign in the square is just an ad. This other article identifies that Gunzenhauser still marketed their bread as Cream Nut as late as 1935 and it explains where the name came from which is quite exciting I think: http://jama.ama-assn.org/cgi/content/summary/105/22/1772 This is getting really interesting.

I reach that conclusion because there are other businesses in that building when I look at the postcard, and because other Cream-Nut bread advertising items appear on e-bay. I also have a copy of an ad that ran locally here early in the century which advertised Cream-Nut bread but made by a local bakery. So my theory is that it was some sort of a franchise in which the bread was marketed nationally, but baked locally. I’m pretty sure that is an ad, not the sign for a tenant in the building.

It could be a fun little mystery and it looks like you already started with the post card above. Maybe I can provide the next hint. It appears that the Cream-Nut Bread sign is at One Penn Square in Lancaster, PA. Further google maps (street view) still shows One Penn Square as an only brick building similar to the picture. It is now Fulton Bank. It may be as simple as tracing back some lease records! I think you should make it a mission to hunt down the origins of the Cream-Nut name!
