Posted on food and drink board but not getting any responses.. How old do you think these are??
My mom gave me and old sewing machine and a bunch of these forms were in there for places around Shreveport(rock house, El rancho bar, rock burger in Princeton, lowells seafood, roys lounge, and a bunch of 7-11's).. They don't have dates on them and are not completed.. The only things I notice that may help with dates are the sales tax is 3% and it has the old type addresses before the 911 addresses came out.

No light beer either. Early 70s at minimum.

Post early 1960's as Michelob not bottled and marketed until then. Pre-early 1970's as no light beer involved. Also, no zip codes on addresses and no area code on phone numbers. Probably mid-1960's.

pretty cool that you have these. I think some top dogs at the Budweiser distributor in Shreveport would pay good money if you got these framed.

El Rancho was on US Hwy 80 near Clarke's Bayou and Rock House was nearby as well...if memory serves me correctly.

I'm 45 grew up in Shreveport. Never heard of any of those places. Has to be mid70's or earlier.

Roy's Lounge was on Hwy 80 just outside of Haughton....Roy passed about 10 years ago I believe and the place has been closed. Used to spend a lot of night there....he had the coldest beers around.

these are out on the tail end of the old bossier strip. About the same time as the old Longbranch.
late 60's early 70's

Cool to hear that some of yall recognize these places.. Wish there was at least one or two still open..
There are about 12 of these order forms with the carbon sheets still attached... A couple are kind of crinkled but I would say 10 of the 12 are straight.

Starting at the Webster/Bossier Parish line on HWY 80 Westbound.
Pine Beverage Store
Log Cabin or El Rancho
Roy's Lounge {Roy & Alma}
The Sportsman {Chief}
The Palace
The Rock House & at one time The Harlem Club
In the old days you could not buy a beer between the Bossier Parish line to the Quachita Parish line on HWY 80.
That part of Louisiana was so Dry they had ticks on their Catfish.

I think ZIP codes came into use in '63 or '64?? Just check out that first since as was pointed out, there are no zips on the addies. (:zips on the addies" is VERY hip usage)
Zip codes went into effect July 1, 1963. I looked it up.

At the very top it says Speediset which I think is a trademark of the type of carbon paper used. Next to that it has the name of the printing company in Shreveport. It might be Moore Business Forms, Inc. If that is any help.
