john thomas lupton

John Thomas Lupton (1862-1933) was an American lawyer, businessman and philanthropist. He was one of the original three entrepreneurs who launched the sale of Coca-Cola in bottles for home consumption.

Business achievements

Lupton, alongside lawyer Joseph Whitehead, was a primary investor in the Dixie Coca-Cola Bottling Company, the second Coca-Cola bottling plant in America. Following the business' rapid success, the two partners began selling bottling franchises to others in the Atlanta area, and soon nationally.

Philanthropy

Lupton gave significant financial support to a number of southern colleges and universities, Oglethorpe University and the University of Chattanooga have both named buildings on their campuses in his honor.
