THE JACKSON PROGRESS-ARGUS, JACKSON, GEORGIA
Local Folks
Spend $550,000
For Soda Pop
(Special to the Progress-Argus)
NEW YORK, Sept. 20—The
bubble, sparkle and fizz business
is setting new records in Butts
County.
The amount of soda pop being
consumed is at an all-time high.
So is the amount of money being
spent in that direction.
According to the latest figures,
it is estimated that local residents
are drinking such beverages at
the rate of 529 eight-ounce bot
tles a year per person.
Elsewhere in the United States,
the average is 331 per capita and,
in the South Atlantic States, 470.
In the past year it added up
to a total of 5,184,000 bottles for
the local population as a whole.
And this was exclusive of bulk
drinks sold at soda fountains and
lunchrooms.
By way of comparison, it was
considerably more than was down
ed in the area ten years ago. The
total at this time was 2,631,000
bottles.
The increase, a hefty 97 per
cent, was greater than in many
sections of the country.
The figures for the local area
were developed from data re
leased by the Department of
Commerce and by the soft drink
industry. They show the rate of
consumption nationally and in
each regional area.
The reports reveal that soda
pop consumption varies along
geographic lines. People living in
the southern part of the country,
where temperatures are generally
higher year-round, drink much
more, on average, than those in
the north.
In the matter of flavor, too,
regional preferences are quite
marked. In the northeast, cola
type beverages represent about 40
percent of the demand, with gin
ger ale, root beer, citrus drinks
and the like making up the re
mainder.
In the south, by way of con
trast, some 70 percent of the

.An idea of the amount of

the figures. They show that local
residents spent an estimated
$550,000 for such beverages in
the past year. Ten years ago it
was $210,000.
Nationally, the outlay for the
66 billion bottles of pop con
sumed in the past year came to
a cool $7 billion. Teenagers and
those in their early 20’s were the
biggest users.

NOTICE TO VOTERS
As some of you know, I have not been out of
the hospital long, having had to undergo an
operation, and have not fully regained my
strength. Because of this, my doctor advises
me not to do much walking or riding.
I wish to inform you, the voters of the City
of Jackson, of my doctor’s directive and to let
you know why it may not be possible for me to
see each of you in person. I want you to know
that I will do the best I can under the circum
stances and will strive to see as many voters as
possible personally.
I earnestly solicit your vote and support as
I ask you to re-elect me as Councilman from
the Fifth Ward in the City Primary of Friday,
October 10th. Your influence and vote will be
greatly appreciated.
