My wife was with me on this trip and she thinks she doesn't know anything about bottles, but I asked her if there were any of the ACLs she liked when we first went in the shop. She picked the Cub, Western Beverages and this HEB quart. It says H.E.Butt Grocery a Texas Institution Silver Valley Beverages.

That's not everything but most of them. I posted a few non-sodas under New to the Collection. If anyone sees anything good in the last 4 ACL pictures let me know.
I think this collection must have been picked through before, probably 20+ years ago before ACL's got popular, because there were not any Hutchinsons or Bitters or good medicines or embossed drug stores there at all, but a couple of hundred unembossed or very common medicines.
Anyway, I got what I wanted for a good price. There were more of some of these sodas but worse condition. If any of you come to south Texas I'll tell you where they are. He may put the rest on Craig's List.

Al,
I still have the Western Beverage bottle. It is a painted over ACL from a different bottler, DIET WAY COLA. If you send me an email I can send you some detailed Pics. I only want $20. for it.
Bob,
I'm in south Texas so Tulsa is about a 10 hour drive. I will be setting up at the Houston bottle show in July.
