In 1925 two men from Birmingham moved here to Sylacauga, Ala., and opened the Try-Me Bottling Company. At their grand opening they served 8,000 free drinks, 6,000 of which were bottles (the 10oz. ones).
The variations of this bottle continue to surprise me, and it seems that the company covered the entire Eastern Seaboard. Pictured are a 7oz. from La Grange, Ga., and a 10oz. from Anniston, Ala. I found 2 variations of a 24oz. bottle recently, and have seen pics of a green 24oz.
I can only guess that the 6,000 bottles served here that day were from Birmingham, as I've never seen a Sylacauga.
Am interested in the history of this company, particularly in Alabama, as well as finding other variations and cities.
Thanks for your help.
