I know it seems like every post I make says rare in it, but I have really been very lucky as of late to get some very Rare bottles. It has been an unbelieveable year for me in my bottle collection. I don't just throw the word Rare around, these really are very rare bottles.

Hey Chuck,

Man, the shielded half gallon is a humdinger!

Did you get the SS Coke yet?

Several of these will not get started until January They are coming from farther East to get good territory as it has been taken there and the bottlers are making such good profits that others come where they can get in the business They will work this winter for Coca Cola is drunk all the year and the bottler can make money on it while other soft drinks lie fallow

I only took hold of this western business in May but will soon have the western territory all covered Hoping that you may get some or all of these parties to subscribe

There's a great Wahl ad for "Pure Drinks" and the "Wahl's is the Brand." at the bottom right of This Page of The Hayti Herald of May 13, 1909.

I don't have the SS Coke in hand yet, but have 2 different ones on the way, one is just Caruthersville, and one is Caruthersville and Blytheville Ark.

I knew there were a few guys on here that were collectors of the Wahl's Bottling works stuff, and i thought they would love to see the half Gallon.

It really is a dandy!
