Mission beverages Fairbanks Alaska

Yes I guess any national brand only had the bottler on the crown. But your Suncrest is an interesting one, I can't find my Suncrest's ...had two of them but I think I gave them away to a young fledgling collector back in 2008, sold him a huge box of goodies to get him going for dirt cheap as we were moving and had get rid of the slack...lolHope it inspired him to stay with the collecting

Since Mission Dry of Los Angeles franchised all over I can't say what the production rate was at the Alaska Bottling Co in Fairbanks. They may have only bottled in the summer or maybe the plant was self heated by the equipment used.Here's a couple links on Mission you may enjoy.http://www.antique-bottle...sion-Soda-m366101.aspx

That was a great read. Neat to haer about the fellows that worked the plants... or had family run opperations.
I really like the black bottles with the paper labels.

Speaking of Fairbanks....I saw this little gem today...Minty mint! Thought the tag was a little steep.[attachment=Village Atiques-finds6.jpg][attachment=Village Atiques-finds5.jpg]
