Dr Pepper Plant Closed Until July 9
Ralph Hengeveld, secretary treasurer of the Dr Pepper Bottling Company, says the local plant will stay closed until July 9 due to a sugar shortage. The plant exhausted its sugar supply and sold out last week, with production resuming only if sugar arrives sooner. The plant serves seven counties and acts as an agent for Dr Pepper and Grapette, with all soft drink plants cut to 50 percent of 1941 sugar inventory this month and operating on a 65 percent quota since January.
