ILLINOIS cn PTT Progress Of Coca-Cola in Olney AROL PRESTON Every day millions of people in every walk of life accept the invitation to pause and refresh themselves with ice-cold Coca-Cola. What is the story behind this universal popularity? Since the popularity of Coca-Cola is universal it might be of interest to know the history of our product in our own community. In 1905 Mr. A. I. Dant owned and operated the first Coca-Cola Bottling Plant in Olney. The building, located on South Fair Street, was a one-story brick, twenty feet wide and forty feet long. The production equipment consisted of one barrel of carbonated water, one syrup jar, and one spout filler and crowner. Mr. Dant used a horsedrawn wagon to deliver Coca-Cola in this territory. In 1910 Mr. Dant sold the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Olney to Charles Haug. From 1910 until 1918 the Coca-Cola Plant and business progressed very rapidly under Mr. Haug's supervision. ln 1918 Mr. Haug sold the Company to Frank Bryan and Walter Shultz. Walter Shultz had for some time been working for Mr. Haug. The partners bought new production equip- ment and owned three delivery wagons for the Olney territory. From 1918 to 1927 Mr. Bryan and Mr. Shultz were recognized by the citizens of Olney as the kind of aggressive business men necessary to the growth of a community. In 1927 Mr. Bryan and Mr. Shultz sold the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Olney to the Midwest Dairy Products Company of DuOuoin. Then Gassmann Ice Cream and Butter Com- pany and the Coca-Cola Bottling Company were consolidated into one company, under the name of the Midwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Olney. The Midwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company was successfully operated for several years by Mr. Zean and Mr. Louis Gassmann. In 1931 Mr. E. B. Hampton became manager of the Midwest Coca-Cola Bottling Company. The company prospered under Mr. Hampton's management. In 1939 Mr. Hampton resigned to go into business for himself. lanuary 1, 1940, the Coca-Cola Bottling Company rnoved to its new location at 906 West Main Street, Olney, Illinois. The building is a beautiful buff brick, ll0 feet wide and 140 feet long. This plant is one of the most modern Coca-Cola Bottling Plants in the state of Illinois. The attractive reception room is regularly used as a community room by different civic organi- zations. The personnel of this plant consists of two special salesmen, one plant superintendent, eight production men, two advertising men, ten salesmen, and two office clerks.

The achievements of the Olney Tigers of l94O were remarkable in the full sense of the word! With only two lettermen back from the l939 squad, the Tigers had a slow start against Centralia and Lawrenceville, but after a few more practices the fellows gained a winning stride against Fairfield and held it against Newton, Bridgeport, and Mt. Carmel. Then they lost a heroic battle against the Conference Champs at Salem and the Armistice Day game with Flora. With several experienced gridmen left this year to come out next season the outlook for the coming year is very promising. Heres half the de-haters, Tim, Bill, and lack.

We tried something new this year when we rxarched on the darkened lootball field with lights on the Visors of our caps, Vlfe created auite a sensation. At the end of the football season our band began work on its winter concert which it presented to the public on the evening ot lanuary 22, l94l. Then we settled down to work on contest nurtbers, The Vantshed Arrnyf a selection lroni Richard Ill, and The overture 'frbicaf' our reauired number. As contest tiriie drew near niany :members of the band were grouped in en- sembles, which appear' on the next two pages. These ensembles helped our band acquire precision, intonation, and cooperation. On March 29, our band went tc The District Contest 1:1 Robinscn. There we received a Group One rating in Class B coznbetiticri, :tiaking us eligible to enter the State Contest at West Frankfort on May 2, where we niade history by shattering all previous records and placing first in State Conipetitzonl l 4 ROWb Director ffr.
