CAN COMPANY TEST CANS
In the early days of the progression of the can as a container for soft drinks,
there were many doubts by the soda bottlers. Sample cans played a major role in convincing
these bottlers to give the new container a try. They were handed out by salesmen and at
trade shows.

and Crown, are cataloged as follows:
