The Christie Manufacturing Com

OF soda fountains and supplies, fruit
syrups, extracts, .ushed fruits and
requisites, has organized in Virginia
and North Carolina cities fourteen
bottiing plants, each with a capital
cation OF $4,000. This marks the
real beginning of the operation of the
program of expansion decided upon
by the company a few months ago,
and before many more weeks other
plants will be established III this State

Of the Christie beverage system will
go into other parts of the South.
The North Carolina plants already

the Christie company Is offering.
Those making inquiry are enthusiasts

opportunity the company Is now

The Christie company has adopted
an entirely new. distinctive bottle
and a neat and attractive crown. The

more fountains installed in Richmond

volumes for Christie ''Bilt Rite" ice
less soda fountains.

that we have attained" said Mr.
