DAD'S
  Dad's Root Beer, headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, began bottling their soon-to-be-famous drink in 1937. By the time they decided to try Dad's in cans about 1951, near nation-wide distribution of the product had accrued.

  A 12 ounce and a quart cone top can was tested, both with identical labels. Seven different punch top cans and 39 varieties of tab top cans followed the initial can market test.

  Early paper label bottles were followed by 61 cataloged painted label Dad's bottles.
