This is probably the best I'm going to come up with. At least it's from the right time period. Notice it mentions six bottlers located in Asheville ...
1. Dr. Pepper
2. Frosty Root Beer [Frostie]
3. Royal Crown Cola
4. Orange Crush
5. Pepsi Cola
6. Seven Up
Maybe it was one of these six that bottled Cheerwine in 1952. Note: There were other bottlers in Asheville in 1951, such as Coca Cola, but apparently these six were the only ones that increased their price. I haven't found anything related to the Frostie Bottling Company in Asheville, but I do know the company had their own bottling plants which started around 1947.
