DOUBLE COLA
  General Beverages, Inc, the home office of Double Cola, left the initial market testing of its product in cans to Cammarano Brothers in far away Tacoma, Washington.

  Around 1952, 12 and 32 ounce cone top cans were filled and market tested. Three punch top and 19 tab top Double Cola cans have followed the early test.

  Double Cola with the assistance of Owens Illinois Glass Company was the first to place its drink in a painted label bottle. Thirty one cataloged generations of painted label bottles have followed the first filling.
