President’s Message
Here’s wishing you a Very Happy New Year. 2015 marks the 100
anniversary of the introduction of the standardized Coca-Cola
bottle. No other consumer package is a widely recognized simply
by its shape. Although the glass bottle, once the standard bearer of the industry, is
fading away, I expect that the hobble skirt bottle shape will live on for many more
years in the form of plastic.
With the deadline for publication, I am writing this in early December, and I am in
the middle of putting up the decorations for the season. As you read this, many of
you will have your decorations packed away for another year. Rory and I put up
so much stuff, we usually don’t get ours down till the middle of February. Thank
God for artificial trees!
2015 is an election year for the club’s board of directors. Two board members
will be leaving due to term limits, but the entire board will be elected, so it is
possible that we could have a totally new board. Please review the job descriptions and take note of the
time involved. Positions on the board are rewarding, but also time consuming. Many of the functions of
the club rely on prompt attention to the duties and a failure or delay in performing those duties can have a
negative domino effect on the entire board and ultimately the membership.
There are 5 mini conventions the first quarter of the year. The first is Fun Fest put on by the Central
Florida Chapter in January in Deland, Florida. The Great Get Together that will be held in Las Vegas,
Nevada in February. Tex Fest will be held in March in Plano, Texas and the Mid America Spring Fling will
be held in Overland Park, Kansas this April. These mini conventions take place over a weekend and it is a
great time and place to enjoy a convention on a smaller scale and renew friendships.
The board is actively looking for the site to host our 2018 convention. We have not narrowed down the list
except it will most likely be in the central to northeast portion of the country. Unfortunately, the uptick in
the economy has caused the hotel bids to come in higher than in the past. We are trying to hold the line on
$99 or less room rates but it is getting harder and harder to find nice hotels at those rates. We did get one
proposal at $259.00 per night. As you can imagine, we respectfully declined. It is the goal of the board to
find a place that is both nice and economical. After all, if we spend a fortune on the room, there isn’t much
left in the budget to buy that item you have been wanting to add to your collection.
The board put the convention form in the newsletter a month earlier than usual. This was done for two
reasons. First, we want to get a better idea of the numbers so that we can have sufficient merchandise
for the packet and meals. Second, we thought that there may be a few people who would register as a
Christmas present to themselves. In any case, we want you to get a packet if you want one and we want to
have sufficient meal gifts without having a large quantity left over.
Until next month, Happy Collecting!

The Coca-Cola Caravan finally arrived at a super market near my home. The truck was
parked on the side of the market away from the public. No one went to see it. There was
nothing for sell or given away except for the picture of Santa and you. The picture will
available be on their website. Santa was young, thin and friendly. He thrilled the
audience because he spoke Spanish at this Mexican market. He also spoke English.

We need to see how many are interested.
Please respond by Feb 20th if you are interested in attending the One Day Trip to the Grand
Canyon on June 29, 2015 while at the National Convention in Glendale, AZ. Tour is limited,
and the bus will need to be reserved for this wonderful one day trip. Your credit card will not
be charged for the tickets for this trip until the minimum quantity of reservations are made.
(If we do not make the minimum for the trip, then you will not be charged, thus no refunds
will need to be made.) We do expect a good turn out for this trip, yet we need to know if you
are interested in going ASAP. If you have any questions, please contact Catherine Latturner
at: cavanea@aol.com or by phone at: 773-761-2751.
Enjoy a pre-convention one day tour of Arizona: The Grand Canyon, Sedona, and The Navajo Nation with
your fellow TCCCC friends. Relax and enjoy the majestic scenery and magnificent views listening to an informative guide while letting someone else do the driving.
The air conditioned motor coach with bathroom will depart from our hotel at 7:00 am and return to the hotel
between 8:30 and 9:00 pm. The per person price of $140 includes lunch, National Park entrance fees, bottled
water, dinner, driver and guide gratuities and all taxes.
After departing the Phoenix metro area, Sedona will be our first stop along the tour. Guests will have a chance
to photograph the famous Red Rocks, stretch their legs and take a quick walk around this picturesque town.
While you are enjoying Sedona, your guide will pick up your gourmet picnic lunch made fresh that morning.
From Sedona, the tour passes through Oak Creek Canyon, a scenic byway that winds through 2000 vertical feet
of a red walled canyon to emerge surrounded by the dense ponderosa pines of the Coconino National Forest.
Atop the Mogollon Rim, we will travel the outskirts of the Route 66 town of Flagstaff on our way to the South
Rim of the Grand Canyon. Guests will enjoy more than three hours within the National Park marveling at the
beauty that is the Grand Canyon. While at the South Rim of the National Park, you will have opportunities to
walk the rim, shop, capture an unlimited amount of photographs, or enjoy your lunch and relax with the best
seat in the house. During our time in the National Park we will also explore the infamous 30-mile section of
road that winds east along the rim of the canyon, showcasing the best rim views and history along the way.
Before returning to Phoenix from the Grand Canyon, we will be treated to distant views of the Painted Desert as
well as close up views of the Little Colorado River Gorge and Navajo Nation. The Painted Desert is the perfect
backdrop for our stop in the Navajo Nation at a prominent trading post. You will be able to get a glimpse into
the past, view the highest quality authentic Navajo artwork and craft work, as well as a gift shop to bring back
souvenirs for friends and family. On the drive back to Phoenix you will enjoy a box dinner.

the twentieth century competition
among drink companies grew. The Coca-Cola Company realized
it needed a distinctive bottle to stand out and be
recognized and purchased by its consumers nation
wide. It was the summer of 1915, and the Root
Glass Company, was one of the numerous bottle
manufacturers that had been sent a letter by Harold Hirsch, The Coca-Cola Company’s lawyer, in
which he asked them to design a bottle.
Most glass companies of the time closed down in the
summer due to the extreme heat of operations during
the summer months and no air conditioning. During
this time, only Chapman Root, owner of the company,
and his advisory staff were at the plant. This group
consisted of Chapman’s son William, Alexander
Samuelson, plant supervisor; T. Clyde Edwards, auditor; Roy Hurt, secretary, and Earl Dean, mold shop
supervisor.

Then in 1937 the Coca-Cola Company acquired
the full rights to the bottle. In 1960 the “contour

a patent. Since patents have a time period and
