Julie from Mid Beacon Hill recently
posted a few snapshots of the new building Sabey will be putting up to replace the Stock House. What do you think? Personally, I like it. Seems like a nice meeting of the old and new. Speaking of Sabey, VP Jim Harmon provided me with some further information on the history of the 1522 E Jefferson property that I’d documented
here and
here last week. More on that later. For now, let’s pop open a cold one and take in another vintage Rainier Beer ad and some shots of the plant from back in the day.

That’s Lady Liberty - quite a popular advertising icon back in the day. Partly because of the Statue of Liberty (which isn’t the same as Lady Liberty), partly because back in the day advertisements used to be considerably more literate than today.
