The rear of some of the older buildings along Water Avenue reveals signs such as these. The Purina Chows sign is posted at the former Dallas Feed & Seed. It can only be seen from the Alabama River and perhaps the Pettus Bridge... or if you take a stroll through the back alley. 
Purina used to be "the" big name in animal feeds and pet foods but I don't think I have seen the name in years.
ReplyDeleteI'm with Abraham; I wonder...is the company still around and viable? Love the look and texture of the bricks.
ReplyDeleteI was attracted by the color of bricks at citydaily. And I was right when I visited your blog, the color is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteWhat is the greenery? Almost looks like Christmas garland. Is something growing that high up? Interesting old sign too.
ReplyDeleteI love to see old stuff like that.
ReplyDeleteI coming to Selma on one of my Southern swings. It looks to inviting not to. Pappy
