Coca Cola Sign On The Side Of Mrs. P.Y. Waters Grocery

Today a friend of the family posted a picture on Facebook that was the original Coca Cola Painting on the side of the Mrs. P.Y. Waters Grocery Store at the corner of Madison Street and South Broad Street.

Here is the post that I posted this morning on the P.Y.Waters Family And Descendents Facebook Group.

How many of you remember seeing this on the side of Mrs P.Y. Waters Grocery. Some of us remember calling this the lower store after the first Waters Bros. Inc. on Central Ave.

This picture was posted on Glinda Poe-Morris Bailey's timeline and this is what she had to say about seeing the sign every time she pulled out of her mom's driveway.

@Palmer....bet u remember this...wish I had a nickel for every time some one stopped in front of our house and took a pic of this sign I really hated when they repainted it....the sign is the same just brighter! I had to look at that sign like forever and still do coming out of mama's drive way....am I entitled to some of the revenue made over the years for billboard advertisement. Now I know Snooks and Joe didn't just give Coke that whole of their bldg to advertise on....maybe they got paid in products...wish it had been a Dr Pepper lol

The property has been sold and the new owners had the side of the building repainted and this is what the same store looks like now.

It's not the same sign as was on there before but I was so glad that someone had an original picture. Thanks again Glinda Poe-Morris Bailey. I'm glad that your mother and your family grew up across the street from the store.
