Me., Sept. 11.?Senator Frederick Hale.

ROXBORG COCA-COLA BOTTLING PLANT % There May Be Larger Bottling Plants But None More Sanitary PLANT JUST OVER HAULED AND PAINTED Yesterday .we had the pleasure of looking over the plant of the Rox boro Coca-Cola Bottling .Works, and It was Indeed a revelation, for we had no idea It was possible to do - some of the things the new machin ery is doing. For Instance after the operator places the bottles In the bin for washing and cleansing no hand touches that bottle again un til it comes out at the other end of the machine thoroughly washed, tilled and capped. We can not conceive how It would be possible for anything to be more sanitary than the bottling of this popular drink by this company. The machines turn out 24 bottles a minute, 60 cases an hour, and before the bottles are placed on the racks for delivery each bottle is in spected by the operator to see that no forign substance has slipped through; the bottles are placed over an electric light, and all carefully and closely examined, and it could hardly be possible for any foreign substance to have found its way In to one of the bottles. As said at the outset, there may be larger plants, but there are no more sanitary or cleaner plants anywhere. Mr. Mc Broom, the owner, has just over hauled the entire establishment and everything is bright with a fresh coat of paint. Like a certain auto mobile, when better coca-cola Is possible, McBroom will make it.
