Collection of matchboxes from Treasure Chest Poughkeepsie at IBM golf club

In the hayday of IBM's big mainframe boom, sales reps used to bring clients to an  IBM Country Club (now Casperkill Country Club), just outside the doors of the manufacturing plant on Route 9 in Poughkeepsie.  After their rounds on the course, they'd retire to the Treasure Chest (now Cappucino by Coppola's) for lunch and drinks.  It was a well known tradition. 

Here are four match books from the old defunct Treasure Chest - home of many memories and likely, where millions of dollars of business got closed.
