Please forgive me for momentarily going back to the wood crates, but something is fishy somewhere. I just tapped into my favorite image site and used the search words ...
"Wood 7up Crate"
But that's it, no Los Angeles or any other wording. As a result it pulled up approximately 12,000 matches. I haven't even gone through half of the listings yet, but of those I did open about 90% of the large crates are from Los Angeles. I didn't pay any attention to the smaller, flat crates because they are not as easy to recognize as the large crates. The Los Angeles crates stick out like a sore thumb. Some of the Los Angeles crates didn't even have the location in the title, but, like I said, they are easy to spot. Anyway, the fishy part is that there are just way, way too many of the Los Angeles crates to justify every one of them as actually having been used by the Los Angeles Seven Up Bottling Company. And, yes, every one of them has the 3-1-3 bubbles as well as an assortment of different numbers. I know this is going to sound crazy, but I'm starting to suspect the large Los Angeles crates were constructed for some purpose other than to hold soda bottles. Like maybe some type of promotion or possibly to be used for some type of home decor purpose. I just now stumbled onto this and can't explain it further at the moment, but I definitely suspect there is something fishy going on and that there is more to this than meets the eye. Just take a look on eBay on any given day and you'll see what I mean.
