JOHNSON CITY, TENN BOTTLING COMPANIES

Unquestionably the biggest town in the area that I collect from is Johnson City, TN. As you would expect for a large community they also have a very rich bottling history. From the earliest days when Coca-Cola first started till the modern day when Tri-City Beverages continues the tradition of the local bottler, bottling has been a part of the history of Johnson City.
