Bottles Needed
The return of several thousand bottles is essential if Cape Girardeau is to avoid a shortage of beverages, R.C. Parham, manager of the local Ne-Hi Bottling Co. reported today. Parham pointed out that the return of empty bottles and cartons to dealers would save valuable manufacturing manpower and materials. All stores handling beverages or milk make refunds on the returned bottles.
