Description: Owner of Hatcher Grocery Store in Columbus, Georgia, Claud Hatcher, began bottling his own ginger ale and root beer in 1905. Hatcher continued to develop more sodas over the years, finding a hit with a cherry soda he called 'Chero-Cola,' subsequently dubbing his soda business The Chero-Cola Company. Hatcher created the Nehi line of fruit-flavored sodas in 1924, the name a play on the 'knee-high' tall bottles. The new sodas were instantly successful, and soon outselling Chero-Cola entirely. The following year the company's name was changed to Nehi, and the new line became the company's best sellers.
