This appears to have been a product with extremely limited commercial availability and distribution. I believe this presents problems with WP:N and WP:V. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Obvious spam for a company that went out of business in 1955? I can see the evident verifiability problems here given the lack of reliable sources, but calling this spam seems an odd criticism. ~ mazca  t 11:59, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep I would merge if there were a specific article on the small regional bottlers -- such as Hoffman's in New York, Polo Club in Connecticut and the like - but there are no encompassing articles. A spendid case where keeping a small piece of American commerical history alive is not too onerous for WP.  There is clearly no commercial interest in the article, so it does not violate, AFAICT, any rules here.  The bottles have been sold on eBay, and listed in bottle price guides.  White Castle served it in Kansas City.    etc. Collect (talk) 12:43, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep Assuming some sources added for the observations regarding this being served at restaurants and the collectible status. I agree that there should be an encompassing article for colas that are no longer available (or soft drinks in general), with this being one of the beverages therein.  As Collect notes, (AFAICT=As far as I can tell, BTW) there have been many beverage makers who came and went over years.  Mandsford (talk) 15:57, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep per Mandsford. Jenuk1985  |  Talk  17:03, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
