The Fueling & Sons Bottling Company, 1001-1005 Dewey. It was begun in St. Joseph, MO in 1855 by Albert Andriano. After the Civil War, Joseph Andriano, Albert's son purchased the business and later formed a partnership with Louis Fueling to whom he sold out in 1871. Harry Miller purchased the business in 1921 and retained it until 1953 when it was sold to Midland Bottling Co. Around 1976 the bottling business was sold to Pepsi Cola General Bottlers, Inc. At that time it was believed to be the oldest continuing operating soft drink bottling plant in the country.
