Camden Plant MakesI
Popular Drink
' Pqp Kola, with Its pleasant coconut
flavor, is a distinct Camdtm product,
and, with the well-known "pop" in
lemon, orange, atruwberity, root beer,
lime rickey and "Hy-Vp." la prepared
and bottled lnthppiaat of theCamden
Bottling company. of which O. J.
Swyrl Is proprietor and Prank N.
Mayer plant superintendent.
The producta of this Camden plant
go to every aectlon of Kerehaw county
and alio to parts of Sumter, Chektertleld,
Lancaster. /Chester and &*?'
Counties. Increasing consumption of
the beverage indicates theirg^WlA*
SSjiilartt*^
CamdeUBotWng company lalf
concern which has been In operation
for several years, Forthe past yea^,
Mr. flmyrl his been the owner. Mr.
Mayer, jpn experienced bottler, Is in
charge of the preparation of various
beverages, and has been able to produde
a product that is second to nope
in ita Held.
r An Interesting feature of the bottling
process is the manner in which
the work Is carried out, from the
thorough clefnslng of the bottlwrto
the final capping and packing of them.
Everything is done by machinery and
the utmost sanity regulations govern
each operation. The bottles are washed
in a cauatio sterilising solution, in
hot water^ brushed and rinsed several
times. The filling is done by a
machine that is almost human In its
operation. Bottles are examined over
powerful lights after the cleansing
process and before being filled and
capped. These lights reveal any foreign
substance which might have remained
in the bottles. This process
is carried out dally, hut as yet, there
has not been an occasion when the
cleansing operations have failed in
the least.
The concentrates used in the preparation
of soft drinks are secured
from the Virginia Dare company of
Brooklyn, N. Y,, and the Carbonic gas
from the Liquid Carbonic corporation,
HiittMi
trucks for the distribution of the products,
the trtfcks leaving the Broad
street plant daily upon the various
routes. In addition to Mr. Smyrl and'
Mr. Mayer, the company has a force
of seVen men constantly at work.
