Abe Levis, of Philadelphia's 
LEVIS Hot-dogs,
purchased this marble soda fountain,
used, in 1895 for $30.
Still in use in my small kid days,
 Dad said it was the oldest 
Soda Fountain in the world!         Link

Thanks for bringing me smiles! I love the picture of Pixie sitting above it all and the shot of the oldest soda fountain in the world.

You could guess that I would find the oldest soda fountain in the world quite interesting.

When you grow older it is more letting go then holding on to keep the balance in life.
