Throughout my years of collecting, I never thought about this. For example, when I dig out a hutch and it's embossed "Charleston Bottling Co." does that indicate that the Charleston Bottling Company bottled their own beverages? Or did these bottles usually contain some other company's beverages? Sometimes they have beautiful pictography on the bottles, so I'm assuming that they wouldn't just cover that up with some brand's paper label. I know there are some straight sided cokes here that say "Charleston Bottling Works," so it's obvious that sometimes they were contracted. I'm not sure, it's just something I've come to think about lately.
