This record is devoid of any evidence to that effect. That the Coca-Cola was purchased from \u201cthe Coca-Cola man from Dunn,\u201d and the bottle had \u201cDunn\u201d written on the bottom will not suffice. Indeed, the operator of the delivery truck from defendant\u2019s plant, testifying for plaintiff, stated he did not deliver any Coca-Cola to Stewart\u2019s place of business. In the absence of proof of this essential element of plaintiff\u2019s cause of action, the judgment in the court below must be\nAffirmed.",
