Gated to the appreciation of the
eteranl modes of mans expressions.
The program will be varied one,
comprised of selections represent
ing many points of special interest,
poetry, oratory, music and paint
ing will be stressed principally at
this fellowship. The Community
Singers, Natchez College Glee Club,
individual soloists, instrumentalists,

the fellowship.
Plans have likewise been made to
include direct audience participa-
ton in some of the events. Pres.

this initial effort of bringing to-
gether the fine artistry and tai
ent of the Natchez area will result
in an annual affair.
One of the many highlights of
the afternoon will be open house

residents of this area a chance to
view all the facilities at Natchez

will be awarded, absolutely free,
to the person holding the lucky
registration. The award will be
made at the close of Open House
on Saturday, May 9, at 900 o'clock
PM. Registration forms may be
secured from your Coca-Cola deal
er and must be deposited at the
plant door when you visit during
open house hours. 1t is not nee
essary for you to be present at

limited to residents of Mississippi.
Bottling experts will be on hand

uniformity, quality and purity of
Coca-Cola as it goes into bottles.
Also on display will be materials
and exhibits depicting the romantic
history of Coca-Cola since its be-
ginning in Atlanta, Georgia in
1886. Against this background of
historical exhibits, showing the
progress of the bottling industry,
visitors will see the most modern
bottling equipment that modern
science has, so far, been able to de-
velop.
Little short of amazing will be
the contrast between the bottling

process of early days. You will see
an exhibit of the old bottling ma
chinery used when bottles were
washed by hand in a tub with buck
slot being used as a cleansing tool.

ling machine and the old rubber
shoppers used in. sealing the bot
ties.
Fifty years ago Coca Cola was
pioneered in this area by Mr.. P.

in 1947. When Mr.. Borden moved
to Jackson, the company's output
was only a few cases of Coca Cola
a day. All of the work was per-
formed by Mr.. Borden and his only
assistants were his wife and one
colored helper.
These three gave Coca-Cola its

Ministerial Union
Disbands 10 Join
InterraciaI Group

RICHMOND, Va, April 27-The
Richmond Ministerial Union de-
solved last week after being active
in the city's religious life for Is
years to formally merge into a
newly created interracial organiza-
ton.
The union is one of three minis
terial groups merged into the inter-
racial INSTRUMENTATION Rich
mond Ministers Association.
The union voted to transfer an
account Of $3,112.75 to the new As
ISOLATION as a special fund to pro-
mote evangelistic programs in the
city.
Also recommended was naming a
committee to invite Billy Graham,
noted evangelist, to preach in Rich
mond in 1865.
Last year the white ministers of
Richmond voted to drop racial seq
regation at their annual Preach
ing Mission, and the next mission
at the Mosque will be integrated.
In addition to the union, the
other ministerial groups merged
with the new association are the
Protestant Ministers Association
and the Interdenominational Min
siterial Alliance.
Permanent officers and commit
tees for the new association will be
named at a meeting set for Mon
day.
Jackson advocate. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1939-current, 1953-05-02

quickly accepted this new soft
drink and the business began to
prosper. AS time passed, produc-
ton was increased but deliveries
in and around Jackson were still
made from mule drawn wagons I'M
til about 1912, when motor driven
equipment became available. The
communities outside of Jackson
were served by Railway Express,
the cases of Coca-Cola being ship
ped in large crates called "ship-
pers." With the advent of motor
trucks, distribution became more
efficient and complete.
Delivery facilities have grown
from one mule drawn wagon to a
fleet of GO vehicles. These vehicles
travel an average of $4,000 mile
per month, serving every town in
the 13 central Mississippi counties
and covering the rural areas with
regular and frequent trips to $500
dealers. The northern part of the
territory including the communities
of Kosciusko, Walden, West, Good
man, Pickens and Durant, have
regular service from a warehouse
located in Durant.
Personnel has grown from Mr..
and Mrs. Borden and one colored
helper, to a total of 11S employees.
The present personnel is about
evenly divided between white and
colored employees. According to
DR.. Bowman, the company long ago
realized that loyal workmen should
enjoy all of the good things of
life and should have a feeling of
security. In line with this think
ing, expense free disqualification
FOR all employees and their de-
pendents is available, along with
a pension plan which allows en-
ployees to retire, under certain con-
ditions, and receive a monthly pen
sion at no cost to the employee.
Paid vacations, sick leave and
Armed services leave are also
granted by the company.
DR.. Bowman also Stated that the
Jackson Coca-Cola Bottling Com
pany is proud to have been a part
Of this community for so years
Realizing that a business can only
prosper as a community prospers
the company always takes an &C
tive part in community affairs
drives and charities.
All of the employees wish tc
thank the people of this area fol
the loyal and enthusiastic support
given them during the years anc
would like to extend a sincere in
vitation to every one to COME
TO SEE U.s. during Open House
They promise that you will be both
amazed and delighted with youl
visit.
