The 6oz.  bottles  appear in the  photograph in an ad for Jack  Daniels,
where they talk about the  folksiness  of Tennessee and boast that "Coke
still costs a dime" there.  Does the Tennessee  bottling  company  still
bottle these, or is the ad a phoney?

    Yes, the 6 oz bottles are still available here in Charlotte. I just
had two for lunch Wednesday, however, they sure don't cost a dime (!) each..

Because Charlotte has the worlds 5th largest CoCola bottler...

Having lived in Nashville for 5 years (1979-1984), I can tell you... the
"Tennessee bottling company" in middle Tennessee, at least, is Wometco,
the same Wometco that owns bottling companies other people have referred
to in here; and the Cokes cost the same there as anywhere else.  It
wouldn't surprise me, though, if they cost a dime at Jack Daniel's tourist
exhibit; though that's hardly "real" Tennessee.  (Real Tennessee can be
observed at places like Mack's Cafe, just down the hill (South) from where
all the tourists go to see Nashville.)  (Or maybe Ducktown Basin :-)).

(Actually the bottler for where Jack Daniel is may be located in Chattanooga,
though... Jack Daniel's is about an hour or two's drive in the direction of
Atlanta from Nashville, which is also in the direction of Chattanooga.)

Give me North Carolina for "folksiness" anytime.
