BOTTLING PLANT It has been 12 years ago that the mineral bottling plant went into operation at La Vida; five years since the preparation and bottling of distinctive beverages was undetaken; two years since an ex-pansion of the beverage plant was made. Today, concentrates prepared in La Vida's modern laboratory, safeguarded by rigid state health inspection, along with sparkling La Vida water goes to three franchise companies: one at San Francisco, Stockton, and Sacramento. FURRE FRUIT According to Chemist Charles H. Schugt, in the preparation of La Vida beverages, some 22 different ingredients are often required for a single flavor. All ingredients are pure fruit juices and as much as possible, Orange county products predominate. Some materials cost be said, as high as $30 per ounce. Most modern equipment handles May Set Price On Nylon Hosiery The unwarranted price increases which have occurred in the past few weeks in the nylon hosiery field have resulted today in an intensive study of the situation by the government Office of Price Administration, and may result in the bottling process without the aid of human hands.

A special bottler of London manufacture, handles siphon bottles for La Vida bar mix at the rate of 1000 per hour. The machinery for this one operation in the plant alone cost $25,000.
