CHERO-COLA OF CLEVELAND, VA

There was a Chero-Cola Bottling plant in Cleveland, VA, which is in Russell County. Of course this is one of those circumstances where all I have seen is a bottle, which turned out to be one of the Chero-Cola Soda Water bottles. I have no idea yet where the building was located or when it started, however, the Soda Water bottles were prevalent during the 1920’s so that would be as good a guess as any. Actually new information has surfaced helping to narrow down the time period that this bottling company operated in. According to the new source the bottling company was still in operation as of July 1931.(1) Apparently this is the only bottling company operating in Russell County at this time.
