Shipping Information A label from the past
Shown at right is an image of a label we used in 1940 for cellophane bags of shelled pecans marketed to grocery stores.

The Tracy-Luckey Company was founded in 1892. From a very small beginning, it has developed into one of the leaders in the pecan shelling industry.

In the fall of 1937, the Tracy family of Harlem , Georgia, Ruth R. and Arthur M. Tracy and their son Francis W. Tracy began to purchase in-shell pecans from local area growers, shell them in a converted garage, and sell the meats to retail and wholesale users: candy makers, bakers, ice cream manufacturers.

During the first season the venture, known as Tracy's Pecan Products, shelled approximately 20,000 pounds. Over the years the company made steady and profitable progress. Marion W. Luckey, Sr. joined the management team in 1946 and became a partner a year later. In the early 1950's the company was incorporated and the name changed to Tracy-Luckey and the tradition continues.

In the 1970's added emphasis was given to ice cream products, an emphasis which continues today with expanding production from the candy coating and roasting.

Simultaneously, with the proliferation of pecan cereals, pecan cookies and crackers, pecan pie crusts, pecan icings, pecans in cake mix, trail mix, nut mix, not to mention the old favorite, butter pecan and the new "Pralines 'n' Cream" ice cream flavors, Tracy-Luckey achieved representation on virtually every isle of the supermarket.

The 90's found the production and sales staff bringing forward more products, further developing shelling and quality control technology, and emphasizing timely order fulfillment.

What we did at the beginning, we still do, in greater quantities, faster, with more accuracy, and with an ever-growing concern to please our customers.

We pride ourselves as offering top quality products and our prices tend to be on the upper level of industry offerings. We have strong and loyal customers who are pleased with the service we give and uniform quality of our products.
