For those of you who don't live near Nashville, Purity Dairies is the perhaps the most popular brand of milk and ice cream in the area. (Their ads also launched the career of Jim Varney as Ernest.)
It's on the side of a building in the small downtown area of Smyrna, TN. I think the building was the Regal Theater from 1910-1958. After that, it was the Theater Grill.
This 50's mural was renovated in Sept. 2016. Learn more about the project in this Daily News Journal article:

Highlights of the article include how Purity was consulted to find the original paint color, and how the local Carpe Artista worked with the Nashville Walls Project.
This is what it looked like before it was restored:
