Snack Time

Driving around Wetaskiwin we came across this old advertisement for Lowney's candy bars. Obviously time has taken its toll on this sign but it was still worth taking a picture of it
Cool shot

It does look old. wonder if any of these chocolates are still on the market. I remember the Cherry Blossom and the of course Oh Henry.
this was definitely worth a picture.

do you remember the chocolate bar called Treasure Bar. it used to be a favourite.
or Fat Emma ?
June 6th, 2014  
Interesting idea for a photo. It does look like it's seen better days. Aren't Oh Henry candy bars still around?
June 6th, 2014  
What a great mural! I like the weathered look of it!
June 6th, 2014  
Great looking sign and a great capture of it. Now I'm getting a hankering for a candy bar. LOL

Maybe it's BECAUSE time has taken its toll on the art work that's it's all the more retro and charming! A nice image to photograph for sure!
