Wapakoneta


Wapakoneta may be best known as the hometown of Neil Armstrong, but it's also the home to these beauties.


The classic Mail Pouch tobacco sign


Layered with the classic Coca-Cola.


Sold Every Where


And another Mail Pouch tobacco sign just about a block away.
Note at the bottom: "Sweet Smoke" with the window possibly cut over something else.
Could that something be "Cool?"

Mail Pouch is often associated with chewing tobacco, but many of their signs also advertise cigars, and carry the phrase "Cool Sweet Smoke."

I didn't see signatures on either of these signs, but it's entirely possible they were painted by the late Harley Warrick.
