No Immediate Price Boost Seen In Beckley for Nickel
Beckley bottlers say soft drink prices will stay at 80 cents per case for now despite others raising prices after reports from the American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages convention in San Francisco. Bottlers cite higher costs for labor materials bottles and cases as pressure driving potential increases elsewhere. Officials at Pepsi-Cola and Coca-Cola in Beckley express caution noting widespread opposition to raises though living costs bite.
