So......?

I can't seem to find any info on early Dr Pepper and RC bottles. From what I know RC bought out Chero Cola in the 30s, so they wouldnt of had any old bottles, however Dr pepper was 1885 and I can't find one thing on there early bottles. Assuming they started bottling it in the 1890s, wouldnt of they aquired a hutchinson? I havent seen any early dr pepper bottles and cant find any on the internet.

Royal Crown didn't "buy out" Chero-Cola.

Union Bottling Works opened in 1906 bottling "Union" sodas and "Royal Crown" ginger ale. They introduced Chero-Cola in 1910 and became Chero-Cola Company in 1912.

Nehi was introduced by the Chero-Cola Company in 1925. Chero-Cola became Nehi Corporation in 1929.

Royal Crown Cola was created by a Nehi Corp chemist and introduced by Nehi Corporation in 1934. Nehi became Royal Crown Cola Corp in 1959.
