In the early days, the size and shape of bottles varied widely. Then bottles were sealed with corks, or makeshift stoppers of many sorts. These left the lips of a bottle expesed to dust and grimy hands,, People then did not care to put the bottle itself to thei: | lps, so it became a custom to wse a glass or straw and, like }most customs, people, came tu jeonsider it as good manners. Today, however, the bottles have taken a particular shape, iwell known to all pop drinkers |'Modern machinery sterilizes feach bottle and modern bottl tops seal the top lip of the bot- tle air-tight and free from the touch of hands.

Well, some say Mister McLeod, but mostly it’s “Johnny,” for) everyone knows the mild-man- | nered, easy-going and quiet per-| sonality. He’s been in one of the} most popular businesses here for) more than 15 years. ij Know Your Rupe NORTH STAR BOTTLING WORKS Johnny McLeod purchased the Beaver Bottling Works from Eddie Clapp in 1937 ane changed the name to North Star Bottling Works The business was then situated behind the Roya! Hotel. In. 1940 the firm moved to a location across from Bob Parker Lid. and in 1945 Mr. McLeod decided the present location, Largest step in the progres of the firm Was 1941 when Johnny McLeod took over the Coca-Cola franchise Coca-Cola is made on the pre- mises as are all other soft drinks. Each drink has to be kept to a high standard and the bottles and the product must be in- spected to insure cieanliness After washing the bottles are in- spected three times; autematic inspectors do a thorough job but the last inspection is carried owt personally by members of the stafi The rate of production is 60 bottles of soft drinks a minute Biggest single day recorded at the plant saw 1,000 cases of Coca-Cola delivered. All bottling and washing equip- ment was renewed in 1951, mak- ing everything fully modem, Increase in business sitfve Mr. McLeod ‘took over can best be told in figures. The staff has increased from two to 13. The number of trucks has increased from one to five Territory covered in sales and on in services includes Prince Rupert, Queen Charlotte Islands, Stew- art, Anyox, and all the interioz up tc Burns Lake.
