CHERO-COLA/NEHI BOTTLING COMPANY

As of 1922 the Chero Cola bottling company has shown up on the Sanborn maps. The odd thing is that Coeburn Chero-Cola Bottling Company is incorporated on February 4, 1924.(2) The bottling company is incorporated under the name Coeburn Nehi Bottling Company on April 29, 1930.(3) The location for this plant is to the east of Coeburn. I did find the place; however all that is left is a concrete slab that was once part of the driveway. I didn't take a picture, because someone has set up a doublewide trailer on the lot, and I don't want to take pictures of someone's private home.
