Vian Who Sold Pop Here 50 Years Ago Still On The Job
The Dr Pepper Bottling Works of Dublin owned by Sr. Primm has completed a remodel of its new plant making it modern and up to date in the state. Primm began selling soda in Dublin and Comanche counties during the old saloon days over forty eight years ago. Early customers in Comanche included S. A. Riley Huse and E. W. Harris. The word pop comes from pulling corks creating a popping sound. The firm specializes in Dr Pepper but produces Rainbow Beverages as well and distributes three times weekly in Comanche County.
