The newly enlarged building
and warehouses of the Ghero-
Cola Company, of Columbus, Ga.,
together with its new bottling
plant, was thrown open to the
public for inspection on Wednes
day, July 5th. This new addition
to the general building, made
necessary by the rapid growth
of the conpany’s business
throughout twelve states where
it is now operating, gives the
company a grand total of ap
proximately 125,000 square feet
of floor space. Included in this is
35.000 square feet of concrete
floors and 2,200 square feet of
tiled floors.
All of the Chero-Cola syrup
which goes into the making of
Chero-Cola, now bottled in twelve
states, is manufactured in Colum
bus. Its manufacturing depart
ment, storage warehonsesforthe
thousands of barrels of syrup
ready for shipment, and its ware
house for the storage of sugar
and other ingredients, cover im
mense footage. The sugar ware
house alone has a capacity of
about seven thousand bairels.
Forty men, experts in their line,
are employed regularly in the
manufacturing department. In
fact, the most scientific skill is
necessary and is employed in the
manufacture of Chero-Cola.
Four floors are devoted to storage.
The laboratory occupies a floor
to itself and is presided over by
experts. The company has its
own cooperage plant for the
making of its barrels, and this
department occupies considerable
space in the northeast wing of
the building.
The receiving department is
located in the east wing of the
building, and all incoming
freight is received and checked
in there. The shipping depart
ment is located in the west wing
of the building where all syrup
and advertising matter shipments
to the outside plants are made.
Competent men are at the heads
•f these two departments with
their respective assistants. Rail
road Sidetracks on both sides of
the building for the convenience
of beth the receiving and shipping
departments.
On the second floor of the
we9t wing ot mam budding is
located the stock room and ware
house for advertising nra’ten.
From this stock room and ware
house are shipped daily advertis
ing matter used by the approxi
mate two hundred Chero-Cola
bottling plants of the country,
and separate stock and shipping
clerks are in charge of this de
partment, which is directly and
personally supervised by the ad
vertising department of the com
pany. It all of the advertising
matter used in the publicity of
Chero-Cola was stored here, it
would take a much larger build
ing, but through the system used
by the company, this is unneces
sary, as a large volume of signs
and other matter are shipped
direot from the various factories
where they are made, direct to
the various bottling plants, on
authorisation from the home
company.
The premium department oc
cupies a separate space in the
main building, where a large
amount of premiums of all kinds,
which are given away through
live redemption of orowqe from
bottles, are kept on hand all
times. Some very handsome, use-
useful and valuable premiums
are given away through this
method which has proven quite
popular. The Chero-Cola Com
pany was among the first to adopt
the profit-sharing plan.
