I made a discovery yesterday. In a picture of Pocahontas, VA in 1922, I found that one of my mysterious bottling companies was a Chero-Cola. It looks to be the same company that bottled my Good Grape; however, I don't have a Chero-Cola bottle from there.

So add Pocahontas, VA to your list, when I find a bottle I will send you a picture.

While browsing the antique shops today I wound up finding a Chero-Cola from Johnson City Tenn. I would have bought it so I could get you a picture; however, there was this huge J shaped crack in the side of it.

So theres Johnson City, Tenn.
