Description
Dublin is just about as small town Texas as you can get. Miss Pretty Peggy Pepper is an early advertising icon for Dublin Dr. Pepper from 1941-1942. She represents the fading era of local business, patriotism, neighbors and old fashioned Americana.
The incoming Miss Pretty Peggy Pepper is on the left, being welcomed by the outgoing Miss Pretty Peggy Pepper on the right. The little barely visible tyke in the foam shark hat is the future 4th generation plant owner.
Taken in Dublin, Texas (temporarily renamed Dr. Pepper, Texas for the celebration) at Dublin Dr. Pepper's 120th birthday celebration.

Very interesting Dave! Fine photo of these two pretty young Misses. I had no idea of the history of Dr. Pepper. At one time it was the only drink my daughters would touch as teenagers:)

Good idea; like maybe a newspaper photo from 1942. the microphones wouldn't be quite right, and the outgoing Miss Pretty Peggy Pepper's hairstyle would be from the future, but, artisitic license and all... I'd do it myself except that I'm a little short on photo editing tools where I live right now. I s'pose I could do the Do It To It thing that auntietk metioned and let peoples go wild with it. Let me know how it that turns out.

Wonderful image! I love the small-town specialness of the whole thing. What fun!
