This identical Royal Crown Cola article appeared in numerous newspapers coast to coast on the same exact day, April 15, 1942, and was no doubt coordinated by the parent company to hit the newspapers at the same time. Notice the reference to 1934. Of equal interest is that it gives the impression their 1934 bottle was a 12 ounce. I'm not sure if the amber test market bottle I posted is a 12 ounce, but it might be. Initially I thought it was a 6 ounce. The individuals who sent the picture to me did not say. Other than the label itself, there is very little about the picture to indicate scale or the bottle's size. In the post following this one I will show an example of scale and see if that tells us anything.
