Canadacan, do you have information on the Here's How variety? I have one without a city but have been looking for one with a city now. I can't imagine that slogan was used for very long..
My info is limited...but there seems to be about 3-4 variations, the "Here's How" slogan appeared around 1929 in newsprint ads....3 Rivers closed in 37. I would suspect there are several city bottles out there. A fellow collector has two not marked 3 Rivers...one has no city the other has Gulfport Miss. Another thing is mine seems to be a new variant as the H's are lower case h's on the "here's how".

Good to put a date on it. I know there is also a Watonga, Oklahoma Here's How with a 3 Rivers* mark. Mine also has the h's in lower case.

This one may be my favorite. It's an ACL seltzer bottle from the Dr. Pepper Bottling Co. of Austin, TX. I like the Dr. Pepper connection and the depiction of the Texas capitol building on the label is just too cool!

Wow, that is awesome ACLbottles! I go to school in San Marcos at Texas State, have searched quite a bit through Austin antique stores and have never seen one of these. The capitol sure does make it special!

Did I see you showing that to Jay at the Waco show? Sure is a beauty!

Thanks for the replies guys! nhpharm, I did show it to Jay in Waco! I wanted to get his opinion on it. Did you say you were set up at the show?

Yep. I was right across from Jay...I talked to you a bit but didn't realize who you were.

Ah, yes, I do remember meeting you! I really should have realized that was you with all the Galveston stuff you had but I wasn't thinking about it at the time. Well it was great talking with you! I plan on attending more Texas shows in the future so hopefully I'll run into you again at one of them!

This is my favorite as it is one of only a few bottles in my collection that the embossing is completely legible and it’s from East Texas(where I currently live)
