Item description
Original collection of eight vintage bottling-company receipts from Lumberton, North Carolina, dating from the late 1920s.
The group includes:
* Six Coca-Cola Bottling Co. receipts, printed “Bottlers of Coca-Cola and High Grade Soda Waters”
* Two Nehi Bottling Company receipts, printed “Exclusive Bottlers of Quality Nehi Beverages”
Each receipt contains period handwritten information, including customer names, delivery dates, quantities of Coca-Cola, soda water or Nehi beverages, case deposits, prices, route or receipt numbers and payment notations. Several examples are prominently marked “Paid.”
These receipts provide an interesting record of early soft-drink distribution and local business activity in Lumberton during the late 1920s. An appealing collection for enthusiasts of Coca-Cola advertising, Nehi memorabilia, North Carolina history, soda bottling, general-store ephemera and vintage commercial documents.
The receipts show expected age-related toning, staining, handwriting, edge wear, folds and handling marks. They are pictured inside protective binder sleeves. Please inspect all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description.
Sold together as one group of eight original receipts, exactly as shown.
