Belington Ice & Bottling Co.

1903—1911

The Belington Ice & Bottling Company incorporated in 1903 with a capital of $25,000 with the following incorporators: W.E. Stathers, S.A. Lewis, Floyd Ieted, J.A. Vignesney, and G.E. Cain (“Clarksburg In It”, 1903). J.A. Vignesney was an attorney and, while also serving as the president of Belington Ice & Bottling Co., also presided over The Citizens National Bank of Belington, the Barbour County Fair Association, and the Belington Board of Trade (“What Next?”, 1907).

According to Dun & Bradstreet, the company’s final year was 1911, but it appears in the 1923 Beverage Blue Book, so perhaps the company took a hiatus then restarted—there are no bottles of this age bracket known, however.
