hey morb im a yankee and i live with it lol..... the lenoir pepper is a good one.. lee told me you dropped off a laurel springs ad care to share, by the way i love it down here  would never move back north


I would share; however, he's got the only copy I printed. I have to confess that I wasn't born down here myself. I was born a military brat to a Philly street cat father, and a backwoods mother, at Ft. Meade Maryland. Lived up there for the first three years of my life before the aforementioned street cat dropped us off in the backwoods of Buchanan County Virginia to gallivant in Germany with his present wife. I've been here ever since and it's my home now, even though I still have a tendency to confuse the language. You say tomato, they say mater, and I say tomater. Same goes with Potato, tater, and of course my potater. LOL!

Tell him I said he was stuck up. I called him this evening and he didn't answer. I figured the coon got 'em. It wasn't an ad but a small blurb with a picture, announcing the purchase of a Sedan Delivery (which is a car designed more like a van) to deliver their milk in from 1940 if memory serves. I also found a picture of Marion Orange Crush's new tractor trailer that they were delivering their product to Bristol in from the same year. Unfortunately due to the idiotic policy of the local library's insistence on closing down at One O'clock on a Friday, I didn't get much time to search much; however, I did have a lot of luck at the local Court House's Clerk's office.

it saddens me that know one cares about the past anymore, i dig everyday and its me the heat and bugs, all this will be destroyed by bulldozers soon---- oh and now the lizards



In a culture what thrives upon instant gratification, self detraction, and greater dependence upon others for their very livelihood, there just isn't any time to pay attention to what went before. They are all far too busy worrying about who Angelina Jo Lee is shacked up with, what Lindsey Lohan has done now, and how great a man Michael Jackson was to pay any attention to anything of real importance.

Welcome to America the land of the self oppressed.

Status: offline 		That looks like one nice Knoxville milk. It looks like you found yourself one of those Property of the 7-Up Bottling Company of Johnson City 12oz bottles as well. A bit of history they were an early acl bottle, Mission Beverages to be exact. I traded my last one for a Fleenors Finest Flavors from Kingsport, regret it a bit now knowing how tough they are to come by in good condition. Lee dug one at the Marion dump with it's labels in tact, the only problem was that they came off after drying for abit. Those suckers are weak.

I was down in your neck of the woods today, Seiverville. I got a couple of bottles which are drying at the moment.

Status: offline 		It may still yet be a mission. The bottle is very similar to the Johnson City 12oz Mission. It could have been a paper label. Unfortunately due to the weak nature of this acl most don't leave any ghosting.




As for Lee I was just kidding about the stuck up thing. It is odd that he didn't call me once this week, I do usually get at least one phone call. I kinda figured that he was sitting out on digging for a couple of weeks like I told him, to give the coon time to move on or die, knowing Lee he most likely ignored that advice as well. You are his friend and if you are noticing something odd about him lately as well maybe something is eating at him, I'm just hoping it's not the coon. LOL!

Status: offline 		To be honest with you madman I have no idea why they used the upside down star on the Nu-Grapes, and the Nu-Icys, I guess they were just going for a tradmark and had something for stars. If you recall there is a star incorporated in the Five Points acl as well, not to meantion later incarnations of the Nu-grape bottles. I can't remember right off if the star appears on the earlier straight side bottles.

There was another bottle I ran across that was patented during the 1920s for the same bottle design but no Nu-Grape script and the star was designed to be a fox's head. Maybe this was Nu-Grapes design and idea before choosing the Nu-Grape name. I would explain why the star is upside down.
