Drink Tru-Ade (February 2004)
Jefferson Avenue and East Clay Street
Nebe's Inn
The text on the sign:
Drink TRU-Ade
Pasteurized
Not carbonated
On the bottle: Vacuum Sealed
I took this picture not long after an outer layer of siding was removed from this building. The current exterior siding is made of tin, stamped with a brick pattern, and painted with the signage.
I put this picture up on the blog ages ago, along with a picture of the signage on the end of the building. A lot of people out there like Tru-Ade, because it shows up in my referral logs all the time.

I love it when these old signs are revealed after years of being under wraps. Too bad it's covered again, but who knows, in 50 years it might get another day in the sun.

Unfortunately, it's covered with rust (sorry if I wasn't clear about that). The metal surface on which the sign is painted is rusting through the paint. I'm afraid it's disappearing for good.
