NESBITT'S
  Nesbitt's Fruit Products Company with headquarters in Los Angeles, CA made their canning debut with an orange drink in a 12 ounce cone top can. It appears that they hedged their bets on the acceptance of the new container by introducing it in the Alaska market area, as the only known examples have been found there.

  The polar bears and Eskimo's must have liked the product in a can, as three punch top and 11 tab top cans successfully followed the initial testing.

  Twenty six painted label bottle generations have been found dating from 1940 to as late as 1982.
