Restore the Creech Variety Store Coca Cola Sign

10/30/2024

Two weeks ago, Olar had the annual Model T Festival it being the first since Covid. Apart of the festival were reenactors who participated in a 1930’s living history event to bring attention to the history of the town during its heyday. The display of course had the perfect backdrop of the Creech General Store!

Hopefully by next year the wall will be restored to bring the history back to life!

Thanks to all those that participated in such an awesome event!

Posted from another page,

Debs Store was an institution OutEast for almost a century. We’re working hard to incorporate its legacy into the new Corner at Debs Store coming soon, like recreating the famous mural on the side of the building.

Been awhile…

But we’re back!

This year may just be the year we finally get the Creech General Store sign restored!

All thanks to the return of the famous Olar Model T Festival!

The festival will be taking place October 18-19th so mark your calendars!

Please be sure to stop by and speak to us and help donate to restore a piece of local history.

Once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. So why not save it?

Thanks for all the support!

We have done some digging and have found a photo of the sign from 2013... as you can see trees have yet to cover the wall, and you can see more of the out lines and detail of the Coca Cola sign! If you have any pictures of the sign taken in the past, please send them to us!

Great article to read about the story of Coca Cola Advertising!

​The sign was hand-painted in 1894 on the side of Young Brothers Pharmacy (then called Young Bros Drug Company and founded by brothers W.W. and W.G. Young) in tCartersville, Ga.
