The Champay Co. was started in 1945 by a James E. Darst listed as president and a Lewis Hagerman listed as Manager. The location of business for Champay was at 216 South Seventh Street in St. Louis, Missouri. I am not sure if the bottling operation was there or not. I do know that in 1945 there is a Champay Bottling Co listed at 5060 Arsenal in 1947. This was the former home of the Shamrock Bottling Co. and The Dr. Cherry Co. Champay was a bust, going bankrupt in February of 1948.
Both bottles in the picture are 7 0z. and dated 1947.
