WORK ON GOLF COURSE
ROAD STARTED LAST WEEK

Work was begun last week on
the sterilization of the road to
the Home Schools and around
the golf course, with WPA
crew placed on the work of
crawling. This road will be
blacktopped on the east side OF
the golf course, and it is hoped
that plans will permit the stab
ilization of the entire road. Plans
at the present time include
blacktopping as far as funds
will permit and then crawling
with a coat of calcium chloride
for the balance of the road. This
work is being carried out by the
county with state aid funds.
This project was started in the
Community Club several years
ago, and it's fruition is the cul-
mination of intensive work on
the part of the highway commit

Machinery
Installed in
Local Plant
1910 Was First
Million Bottle Year
In Firms History
81 YEARS OLD
Started BY Grand
father-Now Operated
BY Grandson

Installation of q full automatic
power washer and bottling unit at
the Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company,
Sank Centre, the fourth successive
set Of machinery in the history of
the 57-year-old plant, came hard
on the heels this week Of the an
nouncement of the first million bot
tie year in the plant history in
1910.
The plant, formerly named the
Sank Centre Bottling company,
that has run the gamut of the car
donated beverage industry from
birch beer to the current cola pop
ularity, with the new machinery is
now one of the most modern avail
able, Bernard Robischon, third of
the family to manage the business,
said this week.
It was founded October 4th,
1884, by Math RObischOn, who
started with less than q dozen
accounts, who hauled the tinlk-
ling cases to that early busi-
ness by mule team.
The first bottle, 12-ounce con-
tainer, washed with shot, siphon-
filled, and stopped with a rubber
cap, came to the public after a
laborious hand process.
Today the bottle runs the gaun-
let of electricity driven power
washer, capable of handling 1s
cases at one time, in a caustic solu-
ton. In a single operation it is
washed, filled and capped. From
the time the bottle Is placed in the
washer racks, it is untouched until
It is dropped, filled, into the cases
"The plant today is as complete
ly sanitary as 1t is possible to
make it," Bernard said. In addi.
ton a water filterer has been in
stalled.
The first set of machinery, all
hand powered, was relegated to the
past with installation Of foot power
equipment. That too passed with
installation Of electrically driven
automatic equipment.
Each time production has stepped
up. That first process would han
die 10 cases hourly; the second AZ
and now the pace has been stab
allied at 60 per hour, but the cap
acity Of the machine Is greater,
Earlier in September, 1883, Math
Robischon had set his business go
ing bottling seltzer water. In 1884
he had changed over to carbonated
drinks. In 1900 he took his SON
Peter, into the business who in
1913 took complete charge. And
then in 1886 when the late Peter
suddenly died, the managerial reins
passed to his son, Bernard. In
1919 the plant was motorized, when
the popular sweep to the motor
car era seized the Robischons and
q Ford Model T truck became the
delivering unit.
Now risen from a one man stand
to six employee firm, the plant
Is in its third building, rolls out
nearly half q dozen trucks In seven
counties, delivers to more than COG
accounts. It's production rose from
100 cases daily to 400. It's sugar
usage stepped up from an average
Of 300 pounds monthly to more than
$4,000 pounds In 1910.
It's yearly output stretched from
1900 cases In those early years to
$4,000 In 1887, and bulked the larg.
est in history in 1910 with a shade
over a million bottles.
