Front and Back of old glass Dr. Pepper bottles 2011-06-06 - Photo by Ed Waggener. A Good for Life clear Dr. Pepper bottle, probably came from the old, Kerbow owned Dr. Pepper plant on Fortune Street. The slogan "Good for Life" was one used in the 1940's, according to Wikipedia. On the back of the bottle was the most familiar Dr. Pepper logo, the clock face with 10, 2, and 4, indicating the recommended times of the day to drink the beverage. The bottles above are part of Doug Janes' Collection. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Remember all the 'Ettes we drank in the mid 1900s 2011-06-06 - from Campbellsville ST plant - Photo by Ed Waggener. Doug Janes holds two of the bottles from the Grapette Bottling Company, which was located on Campbellsville ST, just beyond the Columbia Cemetery. The little 6 fluid ounce bottles came in five flavors: Orangette and Lemonette, shown above, and Grapette, Limette, and Cherryette. Janes thinks these bottles have a value of $10-12. Most from the Grapette era will remember Miss Mary Lucy Lowe warning, in her General Science Classes at Adair County High School, against drinking Grape soft drinks. "They are made with chemicals, with artificial flavors," she would warn. Comments about plants era, ownership, workers are welcome," using the Comments button with this photo.

2 Way, similar to 7-Up, was bottled in Columbia, KY 2011-06-06 - From Dr. Pepper Bottling Co., Fortune ST, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Two-Way was the Dr. Pepper Bottling Co.'s answer to 7-Up. It was lemon-lime flavored. The name came from its uses: 1) As a Ritzy Mixer, and 2) As an Excellent Straight Drink. Doug Janes and Mike Schorman believe this bottle is from the newer plant on Jamestown ST, the one located in what is now Jeffries Hdw., because "COLUMBIA, KY" is molded in a circle, whereas the bottles from the old Dr. Pepper Plant, on Fortune ST, had the town name in a straight line, in the center of the circle. Earl Huddleston, et al, owned the new Dr. Pepper plant; Rives Kerbow was the last owner of the old plant, which was started by his father. At one time, both plants were in operation at the same time.

Nell & Son, My Coca bottles 2011-06-06 - from 210 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Collector Doug Janes owns these two "My Coca" bottles from the old Nell & Sons bottling company, Columbia, KY. The bottles were found in the basement of 210 Public Square, when Mike Stephens owned the building. Mr. Stephens gave the bottles to Doug Janes. The bottoms of the bottles had a large "N." The bottles held 6.5 fluid ounces. A My Coca plant was also operated at one time by W.E. Harris in the Russell & Co. Building on the Square. Bottles from that plant may be more rare. Mr. Janes wouldn't estimate a value for them, but thought the Nell & Sons bottles might be valued in the $100-$150 range.
