A Little Bit of Tobacco History...
Yesterday the wife, daughter and I went for a nice afternoon drive around the county...
One of the small communities that we drove through is about 15 miles from my home and about a year ago I first saw the art work photo on a building wall in the town (see attached photo)...
An adjacent building caught fire and was later torn down last year and this appeared for all to see, very well kept, bright and vibrant colors for the age...
I'm guessing that maybe it was painted in the 30's-40's but I could be wrong... I know that Bull Durham had a long faithful standing with advertisement and their customers...
I hope this type of history comes to light more often than not...

After doing a little more research, attached is a photo from the local newspaper of the art work fresh after the demolition of the adjacent building...
