VARIOUS OTHER BRANDS DIXIE HAS BOTTLED

One thing that I have noticed through my research of the local newspapers are the numerous other brands that Dixie Coca-Cola has bottled and advertised throughout their long history. This page is set up exclusively to bring attention to these brands and in some cases a short explanation of what these brands were.

A 1909 ad touting Dixie Bottling Works entire line including Coca-Cola, Deep Rock Ginger Ale, Jersey Crème, Digestol, Hot Tom, Root Beer, Dixie Ginger (Ale?), Peach Mellow, Orcherade, Iron Brew, Birch Beer, Cream (Soda?), Lemon, Strawberry, Orange, Lemon Sour, Vanilla, and their "new" Grape.

A June 2, 1912 ad for Pepsol.

A July 27, 1913 ad for Jays Plezol "The New Drink". Jay's appears to be the custom brand soda water for Dixie Coca-Cola which took the place of the regular soda water bottles used by most of the other Coca-Cola bottlers of the time.

A 1917 Orange Jooj ad which appears to be a product of Orange Julep.

A May 9, 1922 for Cherry Blossoms and Coca-Cola. Cherry Blossoms is fairly common among early Coca-Cola bottlers of the time which may mean that this was a company promoted brand.

A May 16, 1925 ad for Orange Nip which was most likely one of the Jays flavors which also included a grape.

A May 16, 1926 ad for Orange Kist which was a national brand at the time, and is still being produced by Leader Products. I was surprised to find that Dixie had bottled this brand as the brand would have its own bottling company in Johnson City only a few years later.

A June 7, 1926 ad for Grapette, no this isn't the Grapette that exists today or was bottled throughout the forties and fifites, they only share the name. This Grapette was owned by a whiskey company until Fooks bought the name from them for his new grape softdrink he perfected in 1938, which is the Grapette that most folks remember.
