BIEDENHARN 100th Anniversary Vicksburg Coca Cola Bottle:
$9.00
In 1890, Joseph Biedenharn and his father, Herman, built a 2 story building at 1107 Washington St, in Vicksburg, Mississippi. It served as their wholesale candy company on one side, and a shoe store on the other. Today, this building serves as a museum. This was the first place where Coca Cola was bottled in 1894. The business was called the \"Biedenharn Candy Co.\". This was mainly a water bottling business, bottling flavors, as well as the new Coca Cola drink.
Asa Candler, of Coca Cola, really wasn\'t interested in bottling. He just wanted to improve his growing soda fountain business. Joseph Biedenharn had met Asa Candler earlier, so he sent a case of 24 bottles to him. Mr. Candler simply stated \"It\'s good\". Mr. Biedenharn took that as permission to bottle the new drink. Later, in 1899, the first bottling operation was started in Atlanta, with $5,000. in capital and formal syrup prices, labeling, etc. from Coca Cola.
Joe was quite the entrepreneur. In 1913, he moved the business to Monroe, Louisiana, to a bottling plant location. In 1925, he, his son, and others bought a crop dusting company. They added 18 planes. It became the largest private fleet in the world. The name they chose was Delta Air Lines. They soon moved the business to Atlanta to better serve their needs.
This bottle is a reminder of those earlier days of Coca Cola. It celebrates the 100th Anniversary of \"Joseph A. Biedenharn First Bottler of Coca Cola 1894-1994\".
This bottle is unopened. It is a 8 oz. Hobble skirt Coca Cola bottle. The labels are nice and clean. The cap is very good, as shown.
