7up Bottle #1 Question

[kbobam]

Hey, Everyone!
This is my first post, so please bear with me if I screw it up.
Here's a very nice 7up bottle, green and white with u7p embossing.
But where in the world did the 'Coca-Cola Bottling Company' come from? Thanks, Bob

Yep, I goofed up! Here's one picture, and will post another next. Bob

Looks like I'm going to have to figure a better size for some of these shots.
Thanks for your patience while I figure things out. Bob

Wow - no red paint on this one. Seems I've read about this on previous posts. Will be watching for more. []

Hey, Kate,
Like your closing saying. I've heard some suggest that the non-red bottles were wartime, as the red was needed for who knows what.
But I'm not sure about it. Bob

Thats a easy one Coca Cola was the franchise bottle for 7-up in that city. It is on many ACL bottles with 7 up you see Nugrape as one company that had 7 up on the rear faily regular . They just had the local contract for the product in that city/area. I like it it's a all white style. On here it's best not to get in that debate. White labels were common in many bottles it was much cheaper than the 2-3 -+ color styles. I have several all white 7 -ups in my collection . They are scarcer than the regular ones . Nice bottle.
