C.W. Elliott & Co., the predecessor to K.B.Co., relocated to Northfork from Keystone and, funnily enough, K.B.Co. became based out of Northfork rather than Keystone entirely.

K.B.Co. became an absolutely dominating force in the soda industry of southern West Virginia. Shortly after its founding, it bought out all of its local competitors, including Flat Top Bottling Company of Welch, Kimball Bottling Works of Kimball, Williamson Bottling Company, and Bluefield Bottling Company. The company says this themselves in 1911, claiming it took over the independent bottling plants the year prior (“To Manager”, 1911).

C.W. Elliott passed away in 1913 to the grief of his many communities. Keystone Bottling Co. continued successfully for many years following his passing. In 1930, the company changed its name to the Northfork Coca-Cola Bottling Company (Lee, n.d.), marking the end of the company in name.
