A North Carolina Original (PG 160)



This is the Painted Gentleman I found when I got out of the truck to get pictures of the Pepsi and Coke signs while passing through Fremont, North Carolina. Definitely an old, original one. Pepsi first appeared in 1883 as Brad's Drink, in New Bern, North Carolina. It was renamed Pepsi-Cola in 1903. New Bern is just 70 miles east south east of Fremont.
