American Creamery Co.

1919—1933

The American Creamery Co. was located at the corner of 6th and Monroe Streets in 1921, with the executives of the company including C.T. Hiteshew, vice-president, Dorothy Evans, secretary, and J.H. Randolph, treasurer (R.L. Polk & Co., 1921). It is said that this company became the Parkersburg Creamery Co.—also notable is the similar bottle mold—though I cannot yet definitely confirm this. The dairies have a nine-year overlap as separate entities, so I am unsure as to whether one American Creamery Co. became the latter.
