Here's the next one out in my series of presenting classic sodas, or softdrinks if you prefere that.

Double Cola is the name of a soft drink and the company that manufactures Double Cola. The Double Cola Company is headquartered in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
The company was originally founded in 1922 by former Chero-Cola employees Charles D. Little and Joe S. Foster as Good Grape Company, primarily to market "Good Grape". With Little’s creation of Marvel Cola in 1924, Good Grape Company changed its name to Seminole Flavor Company. Marvel Cola was reformulated and renamed Jumbo Cola. The Double Cola product was developed in 1933 and soon became the company’s flagship product.

If you have memories or comments connected to Double Cola I'd love to hear them. Either post them as comments on my blog, send me a mail or as a reply on this thread

Just now, a flash about some things I own....socks! I have vintage socks that had been purchased new...by my father in the late 1930's..and if you can say anything over 25 years old is vintage, then I guess I have a lot of vintage things I have purchased myself.

There are so many times while driving one of my vehicles, that I wish I had this same weapon mounted on so I could employ it to clear the way! hahahah lolol!

Carbon paper. You can still get it in any office supply store. For those of us who use typewriters and don't own a copier, it's still very much a necessity.

Has anyone made mention of mason jars and lids for canning foods?

You can even get those large sheets in blue, red or white for transfering paterns to fabric

Still got them here as well. Used a lot when I made plum jam and plum jelly a few weeks back and tomorrow it is time for apple jam and jelly.

When I was still single, I dated one Gal that had no clue about canning foods. I had her taking a tooth pick and poking holes in kidney beans, I told her it would "let the gas out" of them....so for about several minutes she was steady about using the tooth pick but she eventually figured it out! What a riot!
