Download or read book The Coca Cola Trail written by Larry Jorgensen and published by Modern History Press. This book was released on 2024-08-25 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coca-Cola Trail is a journey for anyone interested in discovering the history and growth of the world's most recognized product. The trail will take readers to the places in America that tell the story - places where you can see, touch, and remember. Whether a serious Coca-Cola memorabilia collector, a person interested in American business history, or simply a fan - The Coca-Cola Trail provides a fresh new look at a trusted old friend. 30 chapters cover each bottling plant location in meticulous detail, including unique and ghost billboard signage. So, what is a Coca-Cola Bottler? Well, from a legal standpoint, it's a franchisee of the Coca-Cola company, who has been granted the right to bottle and sell Coca-Cola in an exclusive territory. This franchise or contract has been amended and otherwise changed somewhat over the years to add many additional brands, but in the beginning, it was granted for the sole purpose of bottling and distributing Coca-Cola throughout the bottler's territory. In the early years, it was bottled one bottle at a time, placed in wooden cases, and hauled to the customer in horse or mule-drawn wagons. The bottling plants were crude and the task was difficult but by acquiring these franchises, these entrepreneurs had unknowingly won the lottery. They had settled on investing in a product that would change the world. A fabulous beverage with a delicious, unique taste profile that provided a refreshing boost to the drinker. Even in today's world, with thousands of brands of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, Coca-Cola remains at the top in providing that unique taste and special experience in a beverage. You combine this great product with brilliant advertising and marketing from The Coca-Cola Company and "voila" you have a brand and company and a bottling and distribution system that has been so successful that books upon books have been written about it for over 100 years. That is unique in itself. "If you like history of any type, you must read this book. Part history, part travel guide but always interesting, and when you've finished you'll be a master of some particular trivia questions.The Coca-Cola Trail is chockfull of very interesting - every page brings a new delight of some lesser-known areas of the US. A wonderful book that I highly recommend to all history buffs." -- Linda Thompson, host of The Authors Show "I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Coke memorabilia and also to anyone who is interested in learning a different portion of the history of the South. Of course, Coke extended past the southern states, even in the beginning, with one of the earliest bottling plants being located in Leadville, Colorado. If you grew up drinking Coke, this is somewhat like a trip down memory lane as well; filled with pictures of old places and people who were active in the first years of Coke." -- S. Byrd, Atlanta, GA ""Coca-Cola is an international sensation, and Larry Jorgensen of Lafayette, Louisiana, has written a book documenting the many places in the United States showcasing Coke history or attractions unique to Coca-Cola. Jorgensen spent two years researching this book, which is also filled with historic photos and recent shots of places and people." -- Louisiana Book News

There’s the obvious, such as the annual Iron Bowl football game between the University of Alabama and Auburn University. There’s the lesser known, like the Aliceville Museum that tells how the tiny town was home to the state’s largest World War II Prisoner of War Camp and housed thousands of Rommel’s German troops. There’s the quirky, including the Boll Weevil Monument in Enterprise—the world’s first monument to an insect. There’s the belly-filling, such as Big Bob Gibson’s Bar-B-Q in Decatur and Jesse’s Restaurant in Magnolia Springs near the coast. Spending a day on the Civil Rights Trail in Birmingham or at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice in Montgomery is a meaningful way to encounter the painful and powerful history. Local author Mary Johns Wilson ties the lessons of history to the promise of the future woven throughout the state she loves. Hit the road and use this book as your guide to discover all Alabama has to offer and learn why it’s such a sweet place to call home.
