"[This] photo has my grandfather, Harry Park Tilley on the left, Watt Goodson in the center and Henry McCullough on the right. This photo was taken when the bottling plant was located on Bolton St, in the building next to the Downtown Exchange. My father told me that this building had the first concrete floor in Jacksonville, however, I am not positive about this bit of info."

"Don't know about addresses, but the little Coke plant next to the railroad was always good for a Coke right off the line back in the mid 50's. Walking home from the old High school we'd stop by and ask for a "Hot One". We always got one!"

"Seeing this photo has really made my day!! It is so good to see my uncle, Henry McCullough, being recognized and associated with the history of Jacksonville, Texas. He worked at the Coca-Cola plant for most of his life until he retired. Although the image of him is not very clear in the photograph, just seeing his name in print means a whole lot."

"I found a bottle today while digging and got it clean enough to read: C.C.SODA, clear, 6.5oz, Crown Coca-Cola Bottling Co., Jacksonville, Texas. 1923 I cannot find anything online for "crown coca- cola". Do you know anything about this ?? Thanks Sue"
