Historical Marker
    Sam Houston Prim (1863-1946) arrived in Dublin in 1891 with $680 worth of bottling equipment, purchasing property at the southeast corner of Patrick and Elm Streets to house his bottling works. Prim bottled Dr. Pepper along with other products, under an informal agreement until 1925, when he formally chose as a Dr. Pepper distribution territory a 44 mile radius centered on Dublin — an area that remains as the company's territory today. At the time of Prim's death Dr. Pepper executives noted he had bottled the soft drink longer than any other individual. The company has remained in operation since that time, making it the oldest Dr. Pepper bottler in the world.
