Mail Pouch Tobacco barn in Kentucky

I admit that I violated the rule of photography that says you should take a picture at an angle to make it more interesting, but I picked this view so it would be easier to read.

It's been painted with two different message that have faded. The easier one to read is:
CHEW
MAIL POUCH TOBACCO
TREAT YOURSELF TO THE BEST

the words mail pouch are in yellow. The older message is more difficult to read. The bigger words look like INSURANCE and FEED and I can see POULTRY in the bottom right. If you can decipher the rest, or at least make an attempt, feel free. This is in US 31E in Kentucky north of Glasgow.

Red Mail Pouch Tobacco barn in Kentucky

As I roam the backroads of Tennessee, it's the See Rock City barns that I find most often. When you travel further northeast, the Mail Pouch Tobacco barns are much more common. They seem to be all over the place in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and there are plenty in Kentucky. On most of these barns, The words "Treat Yourself to the Best" is painted in white letters on a black background. This barn is a rare variant where the background is red instead of black. This barn is up on a hill in Hart County, Kentucky on U.S. Highway 31E.

While the roof of this barn hasn't been painted in years, I believe whatever it used to advertise has now become Dennison's Roadside Market, which is about 3 miles up the road (Highway 31E) in Barren County, KY north of Glasgow.

Even tougher to read is the side of this barn which is a very faded ad for Mail Pouch Tobacco. On the far left, I can easily make out the word Chew.

Well Preserved Mail Pourch Tobacco Ad - Jonesborough, TN

This ad is painted on the side of an 1889 building that was at one time a saloon, but today is a gift shop known as the Mail Pouch Building.

Mail Pouch is much better known for their painted barns, but they have a few wall ads also. It's rare to see one as well preserved as this one.

It was originally painted in 1902. Not too long after that, an adjacent building was built next door and the paint was kept from the elements for a few decades. In the 60's, that building was torn down and this sign was rediscovered. Compare it to this one in Cookeville which may be just as old.
