Today I had a fun afternoon of going through the collection of a former Coca-Cola bottler from northern Ontario. He has mostly paper items and I got some nice pieces of in-house publications. The first pic is a 1939 Red Barrel. Second pic is 1909 Coca-Cola Bottler .This was the first year it was published. Third pic is 1939 Coca-Cola Bottler . I also got several issues of The Hi-Sign, Canada's in-house newsletter.( fourth pic) These are full of great pictures and informatin. Great for dating signs and things.

That 1909 Bottler is most likely the reprint that was inserted into the 50th anniversary Bottler magazine (1959).
That is quite possible since I got the 50th anniversery magazine from him as well.
Awesome Red Barrel magazine. I really like the graphics!
Yes, I love the artwork from this era.
