    Buster Cola Company was located at 2001 S. 9th Street in St. Louis, Missouri.
    Another product of the Orange Smile Co.

    Pic 1 shows a 2 1/4 oz. concentrate bottle. I am guessing mid 1940's
    Pic 2 is a Buster bottle bottled in Alton, Illinois, dated 1944. This bottle is nearly identical the Orange Smile bottles. I still have not found a Buster in this style St. Louis Marked.
    Pic. 3 shows a 16 0z version dated 1960, the 12 oz. bottles from the 1940's and a 7 oz. dated 1943.
    Pic 4 merely shows the back side of the bottles in pic. 3

    Once again I don't believe Orange Smile bottled the final product. Buster was real popular in western Illinois as I have seen lots of the bottles in pic 2 from many different cities.
