A concession stand, adorned with patriotic bunting, features bottled beverages such as "Cherry Cheer" and "Jersey Creme," indicating a festive outdoor event. Cherry Cheer soda was introduced in 1926 in North Carolina, while Jersey Creme dates back to 1922 in Fort Worth, Texas. The presence of both brands, alongside a visible horse-drawn vehicle in the background, places this scene firmly in the late 1920s or early 1930s, capturing a slice of American life during that period.
During this era, local and regional soda brands flourished, competing in a rapidly expanding market for carbonated soft drinks. Such vendors were common at fairs, carnivals, and community gatherings, providing popular refreshments and contributing to the social fabric of public leisure. The proliferation of bottled beverages represented a significant shift in American consumption patterns, making a wide variety of flavors readily available to the public.
