Arlington Beverage Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Arlington Beverage Co, Clarendon VA, (ca.1929)1,2

Notes:
The only newspaper references I could find for this company were in May of 1929.
The first was an advertisement for a salesman on a soft drink truck1, and the 2nd was an advertisement offering to sell the bottling plant2.
Both of these advertisements said to see Mrs. Mary Dorsey, who was presumably the owner of the company.
So I presume this was a very short lived company, which might explain why this bottle is rare.
