Way back in 1948 the Coke bottling plant was on US #74 east of town, just a couple hundred feet or so from the junction of N.C. #381. A little bit of searching on Google maps will show the building still there, although I don't remember the two wings being on the building. My memory only conjures up the two story brick building with the large picture windows, through which the bottling process could be observed as the bottles were filled and capped.
Go to Google maps and enter.. U.S. 74 Business and 381 hamlet N.C. .. in the search window. Place the little "walk-a-bout" man on the white-topped building to the left of the intersection and view the building at street level.

I spoke with Abbie Gibbons Covington daughter of Jack Gibbons who owned the Coke Plant today and she said it was at that location, @ Mike & Shirly Wood, that expains why we would spot Ballard Beer cars on the Loading Dock beside the track that ran beside that street that runs from Raleight St. to E. Main st. so they could store Beer there, before they build the new building on Raleigh St. across from Mangum Coal & Oil, where they had their own spur and could unload from there

Ballard Dist. was also located on Heast Hamlet Ave. at the intersection of Bridges St. and E. Hamlet Ave, this is also where the first Hamlet ABC store was located. Ballard Dist. then built a new building on Bridges St beside the RR tracks and later built another new building on Raleigh St. beside the RR Tracks. This was also the location of the Nash (automobile) Dealership. It was a 2 story building and Consolidated Building Supply was located behind it.
