President’s Message
This column is written about a month before you
receive your newsletter. As I write this, it is the
first week of November and Southern California is
finally getting its first taste of fall. Two days ago the
temperature was hovering in the 85 degree range and
we thought it would never cool off. Then today was
the first day we didn’t crack 70 degrees outside and
we are getting a small amount of much needed rain.
As we sit through the drought, I watch the flooding
in Texas and wonder why we can’t even out our
need for water so that we aren’t always vacillating
between drought and floods.
Whenever I see bad weather I wonder how our
members are coping. I pray that our members in the
severe weather make it out with minimal damage.
We had hoped for a Disney themed convention
in Buena Vista the year after next, but The Disney
Company will only allow such collaboration if we
stay at a Disney property. The board has shifted to
plan B, so look for the theme to be revealed at the
banquet in Reston.
We are looking towards returning to Atlanta in
2019, as that will be our 45th reunion. The Waverly
hotel where we stayed for two conventions is no
longer an option. Apparently the Braves stadium
has been moved to the north end of the city, and the
room rates at the hotel during the summer are now
out of our comfort zone. In fact, we are having
a difficult time holding room rates to under $100
per night. With the improvement in the business
climate, we knew that this time would come. The
board will do everything we can to hold the rates
down to an acceptable level.
By the time you read this, we should have some
of the Red Barrel magazines up for viewing on
our site. The Coca-Cola Company does not want
these to be copied or reprinted, so our webmaster is
working to make them viewable only. We were also
The Coca-Cola Collectors News
given 255 issues, but some of the
magazines have yet to be scanned
by the archives department of The
Coca-Cola Company. We have been
assured that we will have access to
the complete set of magazines.
One of the nice things about
writing this column is that your mistakes are
not overlooked. I love spell check but it doesn’t
always help when a word can be spelled a couple
of different ways. In my last column, I talked
about the country of Colombia but I misspelled it
Columbia. I need to remind myself that Colombia
is the country and Columbia is the record and
movie company. Thank you for correcting me and
now you know that the only thing that kept me out
of college was high school.
One housekeeping note for chapters ordering
merchandise from Summit, Spread the Red or any
other authorized supplier. Some of the chapters are
ordering directly without contacting our artwork
coordinator. Currently our artwork coordinator is
Hilda King and any chapter orders for merchandise
are to go through her even if there is no additional
artwork attached. We do not want to jeopardize our
good relationship with The Coca-Cola Company,
so I encourage you to order merchandise through
the proper channels.
On behalf of the entire board, I hope you have a
Merry Christmas. May everyone have a blessed
holiday season and a great 2016.

Coca-Cola Santa
Submitted. by Rob Mathison
Close your eyes and imagine what Santa looks
like. A big, jolly fellow with a red suit and white
beard? That is the Santa as we know today. It is
well-known that Haddon Sundblom was the creator
of this image in 1931. How did Santa exist before
then? What did he look like?
He was depicted as
everything from a tall man,
to a scary looking elf. He
wore a bishops robe and
a huntsman’s animal skin.
Check out this picture from
Harper’s Weekly of another
version of Santa. Thomas
Nast created a Santa in 1862
and was used for 30 years.
Coca-Cola began advertising with Santa in
the 1920’s in magazines, such as in The Saturday
Evening Post. In 1930, Fred Mizen painted a Santa
in department store which appeared in The Saturday
Evening Post, December of that year.
red suit, with a jolly demeanor. From 1931 to 1964,
new images of Santa were created by Sundblom.

1934 The Pause That
Keeps You Going
In 1931, The Company was using D’Arcy
Advertising Agency with Archie Lee as the creative
director for the Coca-Cola account. He wanted a
wholesome, friendly Santa and he turned to Artist
Haddon Sundblom. This started the phenomen we
know today. Sundblom created a modern version of
St. Nick that is dear to our hearts. He still wears the

Boy with Santa. Sprite
Boy was introduced in
1942. He was a “sprite”, an elf-like creature and
was used before Sprite was developed in the 1960’s.
1944 was also the year when Coke was trademarked
as the same as Coca-Cola through a series of ads.

to a male to create a more
balanced scene. The Nasons
were used in 1952 and 1953.

A HOTEL NOTE FROM HILDA KING
– SECRETARY TCCCC
It was announced in last month’s issue of the
newsletter that you could now make your reservation
for the 2016 TCCCC convention in Reston, Virginia.
After several members made their reservation we
learned that they were told the rooms were full for
certain nights and that they would have to pay a
higher rate than the $99 price quoted in our contract.
They were then asked if they had a different discount
source they would like to use to reserve the room
such as AAA or Costco for a rate of $129 to $139.
When using a different discount code for the
nights you book your room nights will not be
credited to the Club’s room block. This could cause
us not to meet the required number of rooms to
fulfill the nights we originally contracted with the
hotel. In speaking with our hotel representative, I
was assured that this glitch has been fixed and that
there are still rooms available on all nights.
I have also recently learned that someone was
told parking would be $25 a day. In the terms of the
contract, parking and internet are free to attendees
and I will also bring this to our hotel representative’s
attention so that no one is charged.
When booking your reservation you are going
through a call center and sometime misinformation
is given out. In booking your room, if you are
asked to use a different code and pay a higher rate
or quoted any additional fees, please let me know. I
can then speak with our hotel representative to solve
these issues before we arrive. You can reach me by
email at secretarytcccc@cfl.rr.com or call me at 407814-7430. This will enable me to make sure you
receive the $99 rate for your entire stay.
We are working hard to have the registration form
ready to appear in the January issue of the newsletter
and think our 2016 convention will be a fun one for
all. In the meantime you can still book your hotel
reservation online by visiting
https://resweb.passkey.com/go/Coke2016 or calling
the reservation center at 888-421-1442.

Coca-Cola Sponsors the World
On a recent trip to Oroville, Calif., I acquired
a set of 1994 World Cup Coca-Cola bottles for
$5 at a thrift store. Quite a
lucky find, I thought, since
I have become enveloped
in everything soccer since
meeting my boyfriend, Mark.
I never knew how exhilarating
the sport could be!
In June, we traveled to
Canada for the Women's World Cup in Vancouver,
B.C., where I also got my hands on a couple Coke
and Diet Coke bottles commemorating
the event. Unfortunately, they were
required to open the bottles as they were
considered "samples" (pleading and
even showing them my recently inked
tattoo didn't help me out).
These bottles from major soccer
games made me grateful that I have a
newfound interest in something that is sponsored
by my longtime interest, Coca-Cola. When I heard
of the major scandals occurring among top FIFA
officials in the soccer world, I knew this would affect
Coke as a sponsor. Even I, upset at the prospect
of affording a trip to a country such as Qatar for a
World Cup match, eagerly wished for Coca-Cola to
pull their sponsorship or call for some of these top
officials to relinquish their power.
It took a little while, but it finally happened:
Coca-Cola, along with other sponsors, called for
FIFA President Sepp Blatter to stand down. I was
overjoyed at this, sending my approval through
social media. Coca-Cola was once again leading the
ranks in initiating change.
Purchasing those 1994 bottles in Oroville
reminded me of how much things have changed. The
world has changed drastically, but Coke does not
follow: It leads.
As I mentioned in my last article, Coca-Cola
reminds me of the happiness in the world whenever I
look at my collection. Their sponsorship of sporting
events like the World Cup games and the Olympics
alongside being a founding partner of the Special
page 8
Submitted by Lindsay Ivins
Olympics is inspiring.
In Canada, Coca-Cola took part in every event
that promoted the U.S. Women's World Cup team.
They even set up a photo booth at the American
Outlaws supporter group pregame party, handing
out Coke prizes to everyone who would share their
crazy, Coke-themed background pictures online.
The Coca-Cola banners at all these events caught
my eye every time. They remind me that they
might not be sponsoring just for the sake of money,
but for the sake of motivating people of all ages to
get up and live exciting, active lifestyles.
I know these events bring me happiness,
and having Coca-Cola all around me makes the
environment that much more exciting. Being
able to attain a bottle made especially for the
Canadian World Cup or any major event creates
the scavenger hunt of a lifetime for me. I will not
be deported until I have that limited-edition bottle!
And in the end, I won.

Wonderful
Tar Heel Chapter
of Chapters
By Lori Hedrick, Newsletter Editor
The Tar Heel Chapter of the Coca-Cola Collectors Club
currently has about 43 members and has bi-monthly meetings on the
third Saturday every other month (Feb, April, June, Aug, Oct, Dec).
The group usually meets at restaurants that have a private room to
have dinner, then conduct the meeting. Meeting locations move
around to different cities in central North Carolina since the membership base is spread
out, we try to meet in different areas so no one person has to drive a great distance to
attend a meeting each time. For example, in February the meeting may be 5 miles from
one member, then the April meeting may be 50 miles from that member, but only 5
miles from another member’s location.
The meetings begin with a dinner and then followed by a business session.
During the business session the President makes any announcements regarding
the club, upcoming conventions, news about members, etc. A report is given from our
Treasurer as well as a report from our Flower Fund manager. After all the business is
conducted, a Coca-Cola related program is given and members have a chance to show
their latest Coke finds in the show-n-tell presentation. At the end of the meeting door prize
drawings are conduced and there are usually a lot of items that are available to win.
At each meeting a different topic or activity related to Coca-Cola is presented to the group.
This past year there have been programs on: reports on the national convention that members
had attended, played Coca-Cola trivia games and bingo where Coke items were given as prizes
and have even toured vending machine museums that are in the area. At a recent meeting there
was presentation by a vending machine restoration expert who brought 2 vintage restored
machines with him to the meeting. He described the process on how to restore a machine
and how machines can be customized as well. There has been presentation by a club
member that participated in an online auction of items from a Coca-Cola Bottling Plant that
had closed several years ago. The presentation was about the items that were in the
warehouse that were waiting for pick-up at the end of the auction. The member took
several pictures and of the items that had been auctioned off when she went to pick up her
winning items and shared the information the Club.
At the Christmas meeting the group always plays “Dirty Santa”. This is a game where all
the members bring a wrapped gift and draw numbers. Number 1 is the first to pick a wrapped
box and then opens the present. Number 2 can then pick a new gift or “steal” the gift from
Number 1 making that person have to choose another wrapped present. A gift can be
stolen up to 3 times before its dead and remains with that last 3rd steal. This goes on until
the last person picks their gift. Our group has a lot of fun “stealing” gifts from each other!
Another fun activity is the show-n-tell portion of each meeting where someone will bring
in a Coca-Cola item that they recently acquired that is unique or rare. The items range from
vintage Coke trays to Coke OPI nail polish, as long as it is Coke related we want to see it!
If you live in North Carolina/South Carolina or are visiting the area contact the Tar Heel
Chapter for more information. You may contact President, Kathy Lambeth at

Visit the National Zoo located at 3001
Connecticut Ave NW, Washington DC 20008. From
our hotel, the hotel will provide you a ride to the
Silver Line Metro. Take this to the Red Line and
head in the direction of Shady Grove. There are two
exits where you need to exit to visit the zoo. If you
take the Woodley Park exit, you will need to walk
uphill, but it is a flat walk from the Cleveland Park
stop.
If you prefer to drive there, the entrance is free
but there is a parking fee of $22. Because this is a
popular destination, it is suggested to arrive early
(8am) or take the metro.
The hours for July 2016 will be:
Grounds open
8 am – 7 pm
Visitor Center &
Exhibit Buildings 9 am – 6 pm
Concessions
9 am – 5 pm
Animals and Exhibits
Cheetahs, zebras, gazelles, oryx, Przewalski’s
horses, lions, tigers, bears and many more animals
can be seen outside while many other animals are
inside in air-conditioned buildings.
If the Panda house is open, best time to visit
is between 8am-2pm. Because Mei Xiang (adult
female) recently gave birth
to Bei Bei (baby male), the
Panda House is closed. If
the house is still closed in
July, you can see them on the
panda cams. You can watch
them here from home: (http://
nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/
WebCams/giant-panda.cfm),
and possibly see Tian Tian (adult male) and Bao
Bao (juvenile female) outside. There is usually a
long line so arrive here early to make sure you get
a chance to see them. Native to central China, giant
pandas have come to symbolize endangered species.
As few as 1,864 giant pandas live in their native
habitat, while another 300 pandas live in zoos and
breeding centers around the world. You can also
download the National Zoo app to help you navigate
within the zoo.

Washington Monument
One of the nation’s most recognizable structures,
the Washington
Monument is located
between the U.S.
Capitol and the Lincoln
Memorial, and just
east of the Reflecting
Pool. The obelisk-

shaped memorial is made up of marble, granite and
bluestone gneiss. It is the world’s tallest structure
made of stone and the tallest obelisk, at 555 feet
tall. The Washington Monument was built to honor
George Washington, the commander-in-chief of
the Continental Army and the first president of
the United States. The structure was designed by
Robert Mills, with construction beginning in 1848.
Construction was halted from 1854 to 1877, due
to the Know Nothing Party’s rise to control of the
Washington National Monument Society through an
illegal election, lack of funding and the Civil War.
It was completed in 1884 by Thomas Casey and
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and an elevator
was added to the monument in 1889, which shuttles
tourists to the top of the monument to this day. A
restoration project was carried out from 1998 to
2002, and a $15 million renovation was completed
from 2004-2005. The monument officially reopened
on April 1, 2005 until August 22, 2011 when
an earthquake damaged the granite and marble
structure. On May 12, 2014, the monument reopened
to the public.
This stone was donated to
the Washington Monument
by the Ottoman Empire,
a predecessor to The
Republic of Turkey.
Lincoln Memorial
The bus tour will stop here so you can climb the
steps to be in awe of this magnificent sculpture.
Built in white stone
with 36 iconic
columns, The Lincoln
Memorial is one of
the most recognized
structures in the
United States. The
memorial is an
example in Neoclassical architecture. It features
a solitary, 19-foot-tall statue of Abraham Lincoln
sitting in contemplation, which is flanked on
both side chambers with inscriptions of Lincoln’s

Submitted by Rob Mathison
Second Inaugural Address and arguably his most
famous speech, the Gettysburg Address. The
statue is 19 feet high and weighs 175 tons. The
memorial honors the “Great Emancipator” and
16th President of the United States, Abraham
Lincoln. Designed by Henry Bacon in the style of
ancient Greek temples, construction began in 1914,
with the memorial opening to the public in 1922.
Carving of the Lincoln statue took four years and
was completed by the Piccirilli brothers under the
supervision of the statue’s sculptor, Daniel Chester
French. The murals contained on the inside of the
memorial were painted by Jules Guerin. Many large
gatherings and protests have taken place at this
important memorial – Martin Luther King Jr. gave
his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of it in 1963.
Thomas Jefferson Memorial
The dome-shaped Jefferson Memorial is
an iconic American structure. While its shape
is an obvious nod to the Pantheon of Rome, it
also mirrors the University of Virginia rotunda,
a structure designed by Jefferson himself. The
memorial is located in West Potomac Park on
the shore of the Potomac River Tidal Basin. The
interior of the memorial contains a 19-foot statue
of Thomas Jefferson, and excerpts from the
Declaration of Independence, which he authored,
can be found on the southwest interior wall. The
memorial is noted for its circular marble steps,
portico, a circular colonnade of Ionic order columns
and a shallow dome.
The memorial honors third president of the
United States, Thomas Jefferson, one of America’s
Founding Fathers as well as the drafter of the
Declaration of Independence and adviser to the
Constitution. Its architect was John Russell Pope,
who modeled the memorial after Jefferson’s own
architectural preferences. Pope passed away in
1937 during construction, at which point the
project was inherited by Daniel P. Higgins and
Otto R. Eggers. The location along the Tidal Basin
was selected in 1937, and President Franklin D.
Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the memorial
in 1939. Rudolph Evans sculpted the statue of
Jefferson, and the memorial received its dedication
December 2015

in 1943. It has hosted numerous ceremonies,
including the world-famous National Cherry
Blossom Festival.
The Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial
The memorial honors Franklin Delano
Roosevelt’s presidency, which lasted four terms
between from 1933 to his death in 1945. FDR
led the nation through a worldwide economic
depression and the Second World War, and was
the only American president to be elected to more
than two terms. Roosevelt once joked to his friend,
Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, that if
Congress ever made a monument for him, he would
like it to be no larger than the size of his desk and
placed in front of the National Archives. Obliging
this request, Congress placed a desk size stone and
a plaque in honor of FDR in that exact location.
However, a few years later, Congress decided
that this was not enough of a tribute and selected
a location in West Potomac Park along the Tidal
Basin for a much larger monument. The design of
the memorial was chosen in 1978, and it opened to
the public in 1997 after a dedication ceremony led by
President Bill Clinton
Designed by Lawrence Halprin in 1978, the
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) Memorial was
built to honor the 32nd president of the United
States. The monument is divided into four outdoor
“rooms,” signifying FDR’s four terms in office.
Sprawling over seven acres, the memorial features 21
FDR quotes, along with accompanying statues and
murals representing major events during Roosevelt’s
four terms, including World War II and the Great
Depression. The structure is made out of red South
Dakota granite and was the first memorial built to be
wheelchair accessible. It is also the only Presidential
memorial to include a First Lady; a bronze statue of
Eleanor Roosevelt stands beside the United Nations
emblem.
Coca-Cola Days 2015
Sunny skies greeted collectors for a weekend of
fun seeing familiar friends at the Iowa Chapter’s
Convention in Atlantic, Iowa the weekend of
September 27th and 28th. The convention is part of
the town’s annual Coca-Cola Days festivities.
Collectors arrived from 18 states to set up for the
swap meet at the Herring Building on Friday. With
the community BBQ, the building was closed from
5 – 6 PM, then reopened for the Friday evening Sneek
Peak from 6 – 8 PM. The Iowa Chapter then hosted
a hospitality hour for registered members to relax
and visit some more before getting some rest after
traveling and setting up.
Saturday morning was beautiful, and with that
came light crowds for the Show, Sell and Swap Meet.
The Atlantic Chamber of Commerce offered chances
on a “Tour of Atlantic” raffle package as well as
activities for children to decorate a Coca-Cola Bottle
bank in conjunction with the theme for this year
“Bottling Happiness.”
After the swap meet, the collectors packed up
and prepared for the Banquet at the Elks Lodge.
Following the meal, Kirk Tyler introduced Andrew

talk on the most successful advertising campaign,
“Share A Coke.” He demonstrated, with the help

sales of the Coca-Cola brands. After a few audience
questions
for Mr. McMillin; the Iowa Chapter gave away a few
door prizes, had a short auction and members present
were given a Coca-Cola Reidel glass as a banquet
gift.
The annual Chapter Business meeting was held
on Sunday morning. Bob DeShane gave members
present some vital information concerning the 44th

following offices:
President – Jeff Ferden

5.) My name is Joe Bellveau, the author and
researcher of this book. I’ve spent many years
and countless hours researching, archiving, and
compiling the most complete listings of Coca-Cola
Bottling Plants from the early 1900’s. This book
contains over 100 full-color
images, as well as information
on when the plant opened
in a particular town and any
information that pertains to
the plant. Some plants have
not been able to verify but
the research continues. The
majority of information can be
verified through actual paper
from the plant. This is a newly published soft-cover
book with Perfect Binding, glossy front and back
cover and filled with over 80 pages of bottling
plant listings. A must-have book for any collector
interested in the history of Coca-Cola Bottling
Plants. Great information that pertains to the plant.
A great resource guide, filled with beautiful images
of early Coca-Cola letterheads, envelopes, coupons
and photographs. This book has neither been nor
endorsed by the Coca-Cola Company. Trademark
logo used with permission. USA SHIP ONLY.
