Rusk County Bottling Works - Henderson, Texas
The Rusk County Bottling Works, owned by the Culp family of Henderson, began on W. Main St. in 1905, producing syrups for soft drink companies. In 1917 they contracted with Coca-Cola. This Coca-Cola bottling facility was built in 1935 on N. Marshall St. I'm guessing it closed in the 1980s. My grandmother lived just a couple of houses down from the plant and I remember hearing the constant clinking of the bottles on the old chain lines when I was a child. A&L Music Co.Inc. occupied the building when this picture was taken. Henderson, Texas. 7.25.2012.
