Matchbooks
I came across an old matchbook from a restaurant on U.S. 40 called the "Bel Air Restaurant" in Greenville, ILL. .... The flip side is for another restaurant on U.S. 40 called the "Salad Bowl Cafe" in Greenup. ILL. I don't know anymore about the restaurants but I'm sure it will bring back fond memories to someone.
