Vintage Advertisements (McAdoo, PA)

Postie’s Beverages – 55 South Manning Street, McAdoo, PA.
It appears that Postie’s was once a local soft drink maker and distributor that have evolved into just a distributor today. I did find some examples of old bottles for sale online, but relatively little other information.

As I was finishing my photography of the building an older man stuck his head out the door and yelled at me, “What the hell are you looking at?” I explained that I was a traveler, interested in old buildings, and just taking a few photographs. He replied, “A traveler, uh?” I went on to apologize if I were disturbing him in any way. He looked around, still not sure of me, “I thought you might be the bank, looking to repossess me.” I assured him I was not, which seemed to placate him. The encounter made me disinclined to enter the store. Although the next time I am passing through I will, more than likely, stop in.
