At meetings of Coca-Cola Co.(Atlanta, GA), the Consolidated Bottling co. (Charlotte, NC), and textile officials held at Glen Raven Mills, Coke advised that they would try to persuade their trademark licensee to recontract their production into American producers of textiles and garments. Coke admitted that their primary interest was not in the manufacture and promotion of clothing, but in control and proper use and display of their trademark, and that locale of manufacture had not been of concern. Due to the "All-American" nature of Coca-Cola, it seems that some of the machines are going back into the mills, while others are taking a "wait and see position". William T.
