Thirsty Just Whistle Orange Soda Sign Embossed 28 x 4" "Golden Orange refreshment" Sho 336 051019
The Vess Beverage Company was founded by Sylvester “Vess” Jones in 1916 in St. Louis, Missouri. He specialized in cola and fruit-flavored sodas that were sold primarily in the Midwest with bottling plants in Ashville, NC; Lafayette, IN, Cincinnati, OH; Lorain, OH; El Paso, TX, and elsewhere.
The formula for the popular orange-flavored soda “Whistle” was developed and marketed in the 1920s by Charles Leiper Grigg, a Vess salesman. Born in Price’s Branch, Missouri in 1868, Grigg later invented 7Up, a lithium and lemon-lime flavored soda. In 1929, he started The 7Up Company.
Beside their orange “Whistle” soft drink, Vess Beverage made other flavors, including Vess Dry Ginger Ale, Double Eagle Ginger Beer, Delaware Punch, Buckeye Root Beer, Three V Cola, Cream, Grape, Blueberry, Fruit Punch, Strawberry and Blue Raspberry, Lemon Lime, Cherry Cola, Black Cherry, Pineapple, Peach, Piña Colada Pineapple, Blueberry and Kiwi-strawberry soda. The slogan on their bottle and can labels read: “The Billion Bubble Beverage.” In 1994, Vess Beverage Company was purchased by the Toronto-based Cott Beverages, Inc. Vess sodas – including Whistle – are still being produced today and are available in 27 different flavors. The company was previously sold to Donald Schneebarger, who purchased Vess Beverages after the Stock Market Crash in 1929.
