GRAPETTE GLASS SODA SYRUP ELEPHANT BOTTLE BANK WITH LID "Grapette introduced its syrup product line in the fall of 1948. The original syrup product was sold in 8-ounce containers for 33 cents. A consumer could produce a very tasty non-carbonated soft drink at home by mixing one part of the syrup with seven parts of water. For 33 cents, the consumer could make a gallon of beverage. The container itself was made in the shape of a sitting k itten or cat. The metal screw-on cap had a slot in it so that, after the container was empty, the cardboard seal under the cap could be removed and the container used as a bank. This novelty greatly added to the appeal of the new product. Because of a shortage of glass at the time, Grapette also, for a brief period, purchased and used a be ar shaped bank from Snow Crest . In 1953, new banks were finally introduced. These were in the shape of an elephant and a clown , and were made of much stronger glass. These were very well accepted and enabled production to increase to over 10,000 cases per day." This bottle is in excellent condition, no chips, cracks or damage. Bottom of elephant bottle is marked "Grapette Products Co. 15 & 3 and below is the number 1. Camden, Ark." Lid is original and has some surface rust. Lid is marked "Grapette Family Beverage Syrup, Grapette Products Company, Camden,
