    Image 1 shows two 12 oz. Red Rock Beverage bottles dated 1941. On the back it states Red Rock Beverages St. Louis, Mo.

    Image 2 shows two 8 oz. Thrill Beverage bottles also dated 1941. On the back it states Thrill Beverages, St. Louis, Mo.

    I found a newspaper clipping showing the new plant and details about the bottling plant also dated 1941. Before the clipping I did not know who bottled these soda's. I believe Red Rock was franchised out of Atlanta, Georgia and Thrill came from Green & Green of Houston, Texas.

    Red Rock Bottling Company would become Bob's Cola-Bubble Up Bottling Co. in 1948. (Bob's was another Atlanta, Georgia franchise.) . About 1950 or so the company is now the Squirt Bottling Co. About 1960 or so it comes the Squirt-Dr. Pepper Bottling Co.
    In 1965 Squirt-Dr. Pepper move from the 4817 Oleatha site to a new building a few blocks away at 4433 Fyler in St. Louis, Missouri.
