goods. Birmingham has an array of these drinks in temptingly named con coctons such as Wise-Ola, Rye-Ola, Cola-Nip- Ala-Cola, My coca. pope" 1 and Nova Koa and vne majority of these depend entirely upon the out of | town trade for their sustenance. The Birmingham Bottling Works which pro- duces the bsa.s-Es.a and lemon, straw berry. cream. sarsaparlla and ginger fla vored soda water, is the only one of the coteries that is d purveyor to local | demand exclusively. This plant which is the oldest in the city. is on Avenue c and Twenty-second street. and do not attempt to ship out of Birmingham be- cause of the great loss of bottles due to carelessness of the country merchant and the. inclination of certain individ- uals in the small towns to ornament the prominent corners and railroads, these carriers the breakage of which will cause bottling manufactures to become bankrupt sooner than anything else per
 haps except poorly rated patrons who
 will not pay for their pudding after eat ing it and promscuous advertising.
 | My Coca the drink that is made at the My Coca factory at Third avenue and
 Fourteenth street. Is made from the iden- tical formula used for the widely adver-
 tsed Coco-Cola but sad to relate the for mer beverage is more sought for in this city than the home liquid, which is, how | ever, extensively tasted throughout the | state. The Rye-Ola company, one of the largest of the local syrup manufacturers, is located on Avenue and Eighteenth street. with branch offices in St. Louis, Kansas City and Memphis that are dis tributing points for this drink from Mex | leo to New York. The Ala-Cola plant
 will remove to their new s12,ooO brick | building on Avenue D between Seven | teenth and Eighteenth streets by Febru-
 ary l. The Wise-ola manufactury can
 be found on Avenue and Eighteenth street, not Sd many blocks from the Nova
 k ola company, which is situated on First avenue and Sixteenth street. These in- dustries employ from five to 9 men, as 1 several of them do their own bottling as well as manufacturing and the freight rates are generally conceded to be fairly good for the immediate territory but lholdup for the shippers who wish to traf- nc in the states farther removed
