Product Description
Vernors Ginger Ale has sparkling fizz, a unique taste, and a history that goes back before Coca-Cola, Pepsi, Hires, or Moxie. Upon returning from the Civil War in 1866, James Vernor opened a pharmacy in Detroit. He also opened a barrel of ginger ale extract he had created before the war. He discovered the four years of aging had mellowed the taste to perfection. A new deliciously different flavor had been created, and Vernors Ginger Ale was born. From a small drugstore in Detroit to a product enjoyed across America and Canada, Vernors is a success story. Vernors is the story of a small back-room product turned into a highly successful brand. At over 140 years old, Vernors is Americas oldest continuously produced soft drink. Vernors Ginger Ale takes readers on a journey from pharmacy to factory, from entrepreneur to franchised corporation.

I was tickled pink to find this book. Being 80 years old, it brought back memories of my growing up in Highland Park, a suburb of Detroit. There never will be a drink as wonderful as Vernor's, and one time myself and 5 children had a bad case of the flu and called a nearby Mom and Pop store to deliver us some Vernors to quell the yuckiness. It worked every time.
As a teenager, a girlfriend and I would take the Woodward streetcar downtown to the Vernor's store for a real treat. Either vanilla ice cream or chocolate syrup, was a yummy.
I went to High School with an Ivan Wunderlich, wonder if he is a relative of the author.
