Notes
Whistle Bottling Company shows up in cursory search online, and has been based in St. Louis, Missouri since its founding in 1916. Could use some clarification as to whether this object is from that company with a bottling plant in Clothier OR whether there was a second Whistle company in southern West Virginia.
