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.

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.
