Parsons Bottling Works / J.A. Rexroad

1907—1930s(?)

Joseph A. Rexroad appears in Dun & Bradstreet beginning in 1907 (Mercantile Agency, Sep. 1907). Parsons Bottling Works takes the place of Rexroad in Dun & Bradstreet listings in 1915, though he was still owner of the firm (Mercantile Agency, Sep. 1915), so I presume that bottles embossed with “Parsons Bottling Works” are post-1914, and the Rexroad bottles date from 1907—1914.

By 1930, A.A. Dorsey became the owner of Parsons Bottling Works (H.S. Rich & Co., 1930).
