Tyler, TX 100th Anniversary Coca-Cola Bottle

(Click to Enlarge)

Description

This Coke bottle was produced to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Atlantic Iowa Coca-Cola Bottling Company in 2009. This bottle is a bit harder to find then most - this is the first time that we have offered this bottle for sale on ebay!!!

Frank P. "Perk" Tyler began an ice cream and ice business in Villisca, Iowa around 1905. In 1909 he sold the business to sons Royal, Harry, and Henry Tyler who, in 1915, expanded by producing soda named "Tyler's Flavors." Sales were so strong that the brothers acquired a creamery in Clarinda, Iowa. In the creamery's safe they found a franchise contract for Coca-Cola. The Tylers had heard of this product and its success elsewhere, but Iowans weren't familiar with it. The Tylers began making Coca-Cola, adding a few bottles to the cases of Tyler's Flavors. In no time, Iowans were requesting more Coke.

In 1923 Royal sold his interest to Harry and Henry, who continued expanding the business by purchasing four additional bottling companies in Shenandoah, Atlantic, Creston, Iowa and Grand Island, Nebraska. In 1929 they acquired the franchise rights for Atlantic to bottle and distribute Coca-Cola. By 1930 the Tyler Brothers had sold their ice cream business and concentrated fully on soft drinks. In 1949, Harry and Henry divided their business by drawing straws. Harry got Atlantic and Creston; Henry got Shenandoah and Grand Island.

Harry's son Jim was managing the company by 1958, when served customers in a 60-mile radius of Atlantic with Coca-Cola, 7-Up and Tyler's Flavors products. The company had 16 employees then; ten years later there were 40 employees and the company had added Squirt, Dr. Pepper, Frostie Root Beer, Tab and Like to its lineup.

On April 1, 1975, Atlantic Bottling purchased the Des Moines area Coca-Cola franchise, and burgeoned the brand's presence and popularity. This was accomplished in large part due to Jim's son, Kirk Tyler, who was placed in charge of sales for the company in 1981.

By the late 1980's, the growth of Coca-Cola in Des Moines required more space than the Tyler's existing facility could hold, and in 1989 the Des Moines operation moved into its warehouse and sales center on Hickman Road in Waukee. In 1991 Kirk Tyler was named President of Atlantic Bottling Company, and Jim became Chairman of the Board of Directors.

Three generations of the Tyler family have built and continue to expand on "delivering the refreshment" of Coca-Cola and related products to customers throughout the Atlantic Bottling Company's franchise territories.
