DESCRIPTION:   These lucky Woolworth customers raise their bottles in a toast as they prepare to swig down Orange Kist in early September of 1925. Store management treated their patrons, including children, to free bottles of the non-alcoholic beverage on that day. Prohibition was in full force and local brewery Columbia Brewing Co. produced sodas in lieu of beer. Columbia Brewing introduced their new drink to the public during Orange Kist Week, July 31-August 6th. Thousands of bottles of Orange Kist were given away in various promotional stunts, including at local baseball games and at theaters and stores. (TNT 7-31-25, p. 6-article) TPL-9552; G33.1-066
