(185 items)
This is a pretty awesome and early piece, produced by The Coca-Cola Company. Red Barrel magazines were the in-house news magazine published monthly for employees of The Coca-Cola Company.
This is a special Bottlers Convention issue. Contains about 40 pages of information, plus a cool 5-panel pull-out section, showing some amazing advertising items from that era; glascock coolers, signs, cardboards, window decals, cardboard displays...

Cool piece, TGBWC, a time capsule. Boy, those Bottlers sure were a diverse group, weren't they! Coca-Cola made those dudes very rich.
