This is the smallest cooler manufactured by Ideal and is sometimes referred to as a "mini-slider". It's a "slider" type of cooler and like other "sliders", it could vend multiple flavors and different size bottles. Many coolers of this type were "embossed" with a variety of soda brands such as Pepsi, 7-Up, Royal Crown, Hires, Barqs and others. Ideal also manufactured these coolers without "embossed" lettering for generic usage. There's an access door on the right side of the cooler for loading sodas into the vending rack as well as the precool area.
