Grommes and Ullrich 1942 Black Label Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Grommes and Ullrich was a grocer's business founded  in Chicago by Hubert Grommes and Michael Ullrich in the late 19th century. As was the common pre-Prohibition, the store had agreements with various distillers to produce and bottle house labels for it, one of which was this Black Label brand. When Prohibition ended, labels like this were mostly owned by larger corporations as these were the only companies with enough seed capital to get the whiskey trade back on its feet, with the majority of brands owned by just four producers.

This example contains pre-war (by the American timeline) whiskey, distilled in 1942. Bottled in the 1960s, the Grommes & Ullrich name was the property of another Chicago company called Marquette Distributors.
