If so, it was produced for “First National Stores” not the First National Bank. This was a retail supermarket chain headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts operating under that name from 1925 when it was consolidated with the John T. Connor Company and O'Keeffe's, Inc. They initially concentrated on the Boston area, then expanded throughout New England and into New York and New Jersey. They also used the “Finast” name (as an acronym from FIrst NAtional STores) for store-brand products and ultimately adopted that name for the stores themselves until they were bought out by Pick-N-Pay in 1978.
