Syrup Pepsin

Sellwood Building, 1912

DR. CALDWELL'S
SYRUP PEPSIN
CURES CONSTIPATION

This great old sign probably dates back to the building's origins; the heyday of the Syrup Pepsin name was roughly 1900-1934. The Sellwood Building is at SE 13th and Tacoma. The ad, in the heart of the Sellwood district, is best seen if you walk half a block north on 13th, or as the bottom photo shows, on SE Spokane just west of 13th.
