Reply to "Atlas Billboard Reefers, Who has all of them?"

I am from Louisville, so I have the Falls City beer car and two of the Fehr's cars, and

I will be interested if it is the rarest one.  Oertel's '92 was the third beer brewed in

Louisville when I was a kid, and I, when Atlas cars took off,  spent time at the Univ. of Louisville and at the historical society researching old Louisville breweries.  I could not find that Oertel's had a reefer, nor that any of the previous and defunct Louisville breweries did.  One of the old breweries was at the head of Broadway, near Cave Hill

Cemetery, and its cellar caves were just north of Broadway.  A couple of others were farther west just off Broadway, more in the "West End". These came before Fehr's, Oertel's, and Falls City. Hobby Station, a shop in Elizabethtown, Ky., did Falls City, Fehr's, and several other cars for that area.  I think that there were a couple done for

Vissman's packing company in Louisville.  I would like to see a list of all the ones done by Atlas, especailly if it has pictures, or identifies the city or region of the product on the reefer.  Quantity of each produced would be interesting info, also.
