Mt Vernon Bottling Co
Company Names, addresses, dates1:
Mt Vernon Bottling Co, 2109 10th Street NW, Washington DC (1941-1965)
Notes:
From 1952 to 1963, the company was actually listed as "O-SO Good, Mt Vernon Bottling Co".
An article in the April 6, 1959 Washington Post said that $400 was robbed from the Mount Vernon
Bottling Company, but the robbers were found and captured. The clue that lead them to the robbers
was that one of the robbers typed his name into the office typewriter!
I've seen Mount Vernon bottle caps on ebay, one that said
"MT. VERNON BOTTLING CO / Mt Vernon / PALE DRY / MIN. CONT. 6 OZ / WASHINGTON DC"
and one that said "Mt. / Vernon / Club / BEVERAGES".
