"Most if not all of the 1917 bottles were produced by the Root Glass Company and should have ROOT 17 embossed on the heel."....???? Apparently not....This was in the article."The Coca-Cola Co. sent a blueprint drawn by C.W. Mourey to various glasshouses, including the Chattanooga
Bottle & Glass Co. (as described in Napier’s directives). Dated August 16,1916, this almost certainly marks the
earliest transmission of bottle details to any companies other than Root. It also demonstrates that glass houses
– aside from Root – had the capability to make the bottles by that time." I see several of the clear bottles around ...no city no date...they are from the 1917-1919 period but garner little attention because the lack of mentioned. Interesting to note that they did not advertise the bottle until 1918.
