Mural on a Bottling Plant

This painting still decorates the Northern Neck Bottling Company in Montross. I read that the plant is no longer in operation. At one time it was famous for its tasty ginger ale.

"Sprite Boy" appeared in ads between 1942-1953.

Over the years I posted quite a few pictures from the Montross area. Here is a collection of some of my waterfront photos.

    Linda - I am so glad that building is still standing. It's a beauty in red brick! And a keeper with that vintage mural. Thanks for sharing with Mosaic Monday!

    How great to see a mural that has been kept, and apparently is in good condition! now I wonder what the little white haired guy who's on the mural is called!

    Virginia is really full of fun murals. As we drove by recently, I wished we could stop -- but we had a long day to get home.

    I've never heard of Sprite Boy, but it's nice the Coke mural is still there and totally untagged. I apologize for visiting so late. I'm having trouble leaving comments.
