1953 Pepsi Cola advertisement.

I found this photo recently on the internet.

Seen here is a classic American advertisement for Pepsi Cola from the year of 1953. I was always a fan of the old Pepsi Cola "Bottle Cap" logo Myself, as they were seen everywhere around Chicago when I was growing up during the 1960's and 70's in the Windy City.

I grew up in Chicago's Little Village neighborhood on the near southwest side of the city, and many of the little neighborhood side street Mom and Pop grocery stores and lunch counter diners had used the Bottle Cap logo on their business establishment signs.

On West 26th Street just east of South Central Park Avenue in My old neighborhood, there was a local Chinese Restaurant known as the Shanghai Chinese Restaurant. Inside their quaint dining room, they had a simular / possibly 1960's era Pepsi Cola advertisement like this featuring a Young Chinese lady with a slightly different hairs style and a black outfit...doing the same pose with a simular "Refresh without filling" advertising slogan.

This advertisement brought back many happy memorys of growing up in Chicago during the 1960's era for Me when I was a kid.

Thanks.
