Anyone have a copy of the brochure that they are showing in ebay auction # 7202150173 that they could scan or copy for me (or knows where there might be a copy online)?

Got the brochure - thanks Eric. Interesting. I remember when they came out I bought some. Mine didn't come with a brochure and they were in a different 6-pack carrier than the picture above.
What I find strange is in the last paragraph. The bottles were non-returnable, but the carrier was returnable?

I finally got my scanner to work.
Here's a full copy in case anyone is interested in seeing the whole thing. You can click square in a square (next to the >> arrows) to see a full screen view of it.

Looking at this brochure reminded me of all the things Coke used to do at Christmas. I grew up (literally) in a small country store and always looked forward to the promotions Coke would have. Coke always had items from simple things like the bottle hangers with stickers on them to limited glassware, replica serving trays as well as cardboard Santa cutouts. They always gave my folks stuff too, jackets, coolers, shirts etc. One year when I was aboout 4 or 5 they gave me a Coca Cola wagon. It was a new Coca Cola wooden crate with a set of wheels like you would find under a radio flyer. I still have that one by the way. If someone had only known what the stuff would be worth....

I have a carrier from the 50's that has a "3 cent deposit" stamped on it. It came from a store in the town of Monolith, Ca. Monolith was just a town site for workers of the cement plant built across the road. I actually lived there until I was 4 years old. The town site has been demolished and I am a second generation employee of Monolith cement. My friend was smart enough too grab old advertisement stuff from the attic prior to the store being torn down around 1980.
