Wallet Card found another privilege sign

Anyone who has been following the Wallet Card over the last several years knows that privilege signs - retail store signs provided to the store at no cost by an advertiser, usually a soda company. They were widespread from the 1950s to the 1970s, and are all but extinct now. Finding one is like stepping back in time. Though there were many Coca-Cola and 7-Up signs, New York-based Pepsi was the most common in this region. I found another one recently, still up after 40+ years. Freeport Beverage is located on Guy Lombardo Avenue in Freeport, NY.

  1. Great sign! If only there were an old 1970s Datsun or Plymouth parked out front instead of that modern car...
