Alderson Sodas
Alderson
Alderson is a town straddling the Greenbrier River, being both in Monroe and Summers County. Despite its moderate size—for West Virginia standards—it only produced one known soda. This Pepsi-Cola plant would have existed in the late 1940s and early 1950s. These bottles are difficult to obtain in any condition.
There is additionally one hypothesized bottler from Alderson, an R.H.H. Butler, who appears in the 1910 Dun & Bradstreet directory. During 1910, hutchinson style soda bottles were on their way out, but it may be either a hutch or crown top if it exists.
