Old Fashioned Soda Fountains Vintage Advertising

 Paul Lefkovitz, one of our members on Advertising Collectibles Antiques and Vintage, inspired me to start this new discussion. He's building an old fashioned soda fountain in his basement including the best vintage 'soda fountain' vintage advertising!

What do you have in vintage soda fountain advertising?

This is our local old fashion soda fountain in Meeker, Colorado. We go here often! And this week, we'll be taking the History Camp children there as part of our downtown walking tour.

So...yesterday, our History Camp from the White River Museum, visited our local soda fountain in the drug store.  After giving them a brief history on soda fountains and the evolving of sodas, we all got a ice cream soda - chocolate or strawberry. Yum!

Here's a pic of part of the group...

They learned the person behind the soda fountain bar was called a soda jerk. They thought that was really funny! :)

Get a Shake at Miners Diner
Whether it’s the holiday season or not, a trip to Julian isn’t complete without a stop at Miner’s Diner. Your kids (and you) will flip for the creamy milk shake they serve from their authentic soda fountain. The place is usually packed but don’t fret, the friendly staff moves quickly.

Just grab a spot at the bar and a playing card (that’s the cool way they let you know when your food is ready) and soak in all the nostalgia this old fashioned diner has to offer.  Did we mention they offer “apple” shakes? Just in case you weren’t already sold.
