Storeside Advertising


In the 1900's just about evey country store had storeside advertising on one or more of its sides (see photo). Some of the just common advertisers were: Coca Cola, tobacco companies, medication producers, and farm product producers. They were suppose to remind you of their product as you approached the store. That was suppose to create "impulse" buying of their product. Must of worked to some degree, because it was "the way" to advertise back then. You don't see many of those old storeside advertisements anymore............better photograph them while you can.
