IT IS THE INITIALS OF THE MAN THAT HAD THE RIGHT TO BOTTLE COKE IN ROME. DON'T REMEMBER THE MIDDLE INITIAL ,BUT THE S IS FOR SANFORD AND THE B IS FOR BARRON? ANY WAY YOU LIVE IN ROME AND PROBABLY HAVE HEARD OF BARRON STADIUM? YEP SAME DUDE. HIS SON OR GRANDSON STILL OWNED THE BOTTLING PLANTS IN ROME AND CEDARTOWN IN THE EARLY SEVENTIES WHEN I WORKED AT THE PLANT IN CED. MY 1ST JOB OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL. PAID MIN. WAGE! $1.86 HR. SEEMS LIKE ,THOUGH 86 SEEMS LIKE A WEIRD NO.CHEAP BAS.! GUESS THAT IS WHY THEY WERE [ARE?] RICH. BIGSHOTS IN ROME. WHEN THE BARRON CAME TO CEDARTOWN ,WE WERE TOLD TO STOP WHAT WE WERE DOING AND RUN AND SHAKE HIS HAND! GEEZ! I KEPT ON WORKING. [FRANK BARRON? WAS DOLING OUT MONEY TO POLICTICAL CANIDATES IN 2000,LISTED AS COKE VICE PRES. OF ROME RETIRED] THE BOTTLE YOU HAVE FOR SOME REASON DOESN'T GET THE PRICE OF WHAT A REGULAR COKE DOES FOR SOME REASON. IT IS NOT LISTED AS STRAIGHT SIDE COKE IN THE BOOK I HAVE ON GA. CROWN TOP SODAS. IT LISTS FOR $15-$20. IF YOU FIND A CHERO COLA FROM ROME IN YELLOW -GREEN IT IS LISTED AT $40 -$50, BET YOU MAY GET MORE FOR IT. VERY PRETTY! INFORMATION OVERKILL?[8D] JAMIE
