Literature

Your vintage Pepsi "The Light Refreshment" reverse-painted glass menu sign is a highly collectible piece of 1950s and 1960s soda fountain advertising. These pieces feature the classic mid-century script logo and were specifically designed for diners and drugstores to display their daily specials. Based in High Point, NC (a regional hub for manufacturing and industrial arts), Mirro-Products began by screen-printing advertising messages directly onto glass. The company was a major regional player in commercial signage, producing reverse-on-glass menu boards, wall mirrors, and clocks for major national brands, including Pepsi and Coca-Cola. As manufacturing technology advanced, the company expanded into plastics and styrene.
