Concerning question on Wins's. Winfred was the oldest of three brothers "sons of Louis Sr" the younger Sons were Louis Jr. and Daniel. Sr's plan at retirement in the mid to late 60's was to divide the company equally between his three Sons however there was a disbute between the brothers concerning ownership. Winfred broke away and started his own company "Wins". Louis Sr helped Winfred start his new business by working with him on the flavor development. Glen Rock Milwaukee went out of Business in the later part of 1973. Wins took over the Glen Rock sales Outlets and the bottles/cases after business ended for Glen Rock. Wins also went out of business a few years later after a fire destroyed the manufaturing plant. I am the Son of Daniel and worked at the company until it closed. Some earlier comments are from my sister Patti. I can add a little more information. We had 18 flavors, 19 if you consider a late addtion of diet Chocolate and sold in bottles sized 7,12 & 32oz. At one time there was a 16oz bottle that was sold as "Lotta Cola", this was discontinued before my time. Diet was offered in several flavors but only in the 12oz size. The diet bottles will have a "Red" band around the neck. When Cyclimates were band in the early 70's most of these bottles were destroyed due to content labeling on the bottle and replaced with the standard bottle that recieved a paper label at the neck listing the replacement sweatner Saccharin. My favorites were Black Cherry, Cream, Root Bear and Punch. I know a fair amount of the history with alot more information if anyone has some questions.
