Portland IN - Wall Signs - a photo on Flickriver

            This wall certainly was popular over the years.  Abromson Quality Coal, Mail Pouch Tobacco, Colonial Bread, and Coca Cola all decided that this was a nice place to advertise.

Coke is being sold in a six pack of 12 ounce bottles.  Those 12's are KING size!  the colors on the Colonial Bread ad really look nice to me.  I photographed this sign almost 25 years ago.  The next time I was in Portland the wall had been painted.  The visit after that and the building was gone.
