Big Ben Beverages was locally located here in St. Louis at 3852-54 Easton Ave. I did not research the Chicago location. A short lived operation that lasted from 1929 til around 1933 or so. I found that a Ben Benjamin (pres.) and a Sam Ballis (treas.) resided in Chicago in 1929 and that a Sam Benjamin (v-pres.) and Floyd Schade (sec) resided in St. Louis also in 1929.
Floyd Schade was also sales manager for the Whistle Bottling Co. in 1929.
Pictured are a 23 oz. and a minnie-me 8 oz version of Big Ben.
I see a lot of the quart size versions out there but the 8 oz. is somewhat scarce.
