had to hustle all over town Il hours a
day delivering, and then proved inade-
quate so that the firm had to bring on
several more mules and wagons to keep
their growing customers supplied.
Well. it went along until the Birming-
ham Coca Cola company had built new
bottling works of its own at the corner
of Avenue E and South Twenty-secoud
street. 1t put in new machinery. Where
as one man and two boys had bottled all
the coca cola that was sent forth by the
Birmingham Bottlng Works, more than
so men were required now.
The firm decided to quit mules on the
delivery wagons and make the deliveries
with motor cars. and it was about the
same time that the company got a letter
from the head office in Atlanta saying
that the Birmingham plant was selling
more coca cola than any other in the
country. 1t was about the same day that

the delivery manager of the works can't
in to Mr. johnson and said:
Say, we're using four delivery trucks
and we've got spry mules on every other
wagon IN the place. What are we going
to 90 with that flee mule Bird?'
Mr.. Johnson questioned the delivery
foreman closely about the mules and the
delivery system. He learned that in GER
tain territories it was cheaper and just
as quick to haul the wagon loads of coca
cola by horse or mule, and he learned
also that the business was so big that
there wasn't any longer any room for
Bird about the plant.
How longs that mule been working
for this company said the manager at
the end of the talk.
20, he's an old mule He's the Oldest
mule In the place sir Why, | drove
that mule out on the first wagon load OF
coca cola that was ever sold out of the
Birmingham plant
Well said johnson, the manager
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-06-18

we Won need that mule to work for
US any more. That mule won't have to
work. The letters to my office from the
company today show that We've grown
into the biggest coca cola bottling busi-
ness in the country or the world You
take that mule out to the stable yard and
you let nm kick up bis heels all day
there He's got a right to, because he
pulled across the first bottles of coca cola
IN this town, And then.' said the man
ager, YOU pick out the finest stall in the
stables for that same mule. And Just as
ions as he lives you let that mule do
Just what he wants to- He's the honored
pensioned mule of the company. If he'll
stand 1t feed him four times day"
The mule is standing it with extreme
JUNCTION, thank you, and he's the pride
and the Joy of the plant that has grown

When the bottle, reflled, goes from the
plant 1t Is as pure coca cola as to COLI
tents as any concern could make.
In addition the company here has erect
ed a $4,000 refrigerator plant for cooling
the purified water before it is carbon
ated. This Is because the discovery has
been made that warm water will not

The coca cola plant, five times enlarged
since 1902 In this city alone, has this
year already done SO per cent of the en-

be enlarged twice and has been supple

at Warrior and Patton, Ala. The capac-
ity of the local plant is 10000 bottles a
day. thereby giving an Idea of how many
thirsty people drop in when they see
the sign of the arrow.
The Birmingham bottling plant devoted
to this particular beverage is far and
away the largest and most up-to-date in
the country.
A half dozen men are employed all day

town in 1902, Bird was dragging the few
bottles sold from the plant at 109 North
Twenty-fourth street to the few drug
stores and groceries that sold the since
internationally famous drink. Bird had
a soft time of it then for his one wagon

But along toward the end of 1902 man
named Johnson came over to Birmingham
to take charge of the coca cola business
here. He did pretty well with the coca

Great Alarm in LOWIands

Hawesville, KY, Jan. II The steady
dowppour of rain the past "a hours has
caused great alarm among the farmers
and people living in the low lands and
it is almost certain that great damage
will be done by floods. Blackford creek
is two miles wide and still rising, and
fear is felt that many of the bridges
will be swept away and the levees
greatly damaged.
Stock is being moved to higher
ground in both the creek and river bot
toms for safety; and rural mail carriers
are unable to make their routes on ac-
count of the high water. Three feet
more water will put the Ohio river over
the danger line here, and many FAM
lilies are making preparations to move
if the rise continues. Some corn has
been lost by farmers on account of the
sudden rise, and great damage will be
done to wheat in the bottoms.
