BALA CLUB

   Bala Club's cone top cans were distributed by the American Stores Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  The drink was canned for American Stores by the Booth Bottling Company, also located in Philadelphia.

  There are two known generations of cone top Bala Club cans.  The difference is in the contents lines found at the bottom of some of the cans.

  Seven different generations of punch top cans followed the introduction of Bala Club in cone top cans, and two generations of tab top cans ended production of the brand in the late 1960's.

  Only two Bala Club bottles have been cataloged. A clear glass 32 ounce bottle dated 1959, and a green glass 32 ounce dated 1962. The large bottles of this era usually contained ginger ale, or various mixers.
