Atmore, Ala? - 7/17/2008 12:03:55 AM    wonkapete   Posts: 261 Joined: 4/5/2007 From: Mobile, AL Status: offline You local Alabama guys know Atmore is a small town.  And of course, they had a bottling company like so many other lil rural towns.  My buddy showed me this bottle a few years ago, from Atmore.  Until he showed me this, I didn't know Atmore had a bottling plant. Well, I was recently lucky enough to acquire this fine variation: Anybody have any info on this bottling company?  Nugrape is on the bottom, so I assume there's gotta be some Nugrapes from Atmore.  Anything else exist from here?  I might have to drive up that way and ask a few old timers.  I'm interested now in what other sodas may exist from Atmore.

Coke and Pepsi was carried on wagons to Atmore from Pensacola. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to wonkapete) Post #: 2

I also know where the doctor from the late 1800s into the 1900s office and privy were. The building is on display in the park. A bank owns the property. Got to go and see if they will let me dig it one day. < Message edited by capsoda -- 7/17/2008 11:19:25 PM > _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to celerycola) Post #: 5
