Company started in the Mid-West in 1916. Other brand names from the company were Vess and Cleo Cola. Whistle brand faded out in the 1950s. I have taken pics of the Whistle bottles I have from here in Maine. The shorter embossed bottle is from 1924 (Lewiston, ME) and the pinched waist is from 1930 (Calais, ME).
