WHISTLE SODA DIECUT ELVES BOTTLE FAN PULL HEAVY CARDBOARD SIGN DOUBLE SIDED F6-18 EXCELLENT New Old Stock. Here is a very nice Whistle fan pull with the elf sitting on top of the bottle. It has the lightest of wear and is very thick cardboard. Has the hole in the top for a string to go through and attach to a fan. It is quite large at 11 5/8 inches tall. It is marked F6-18 on the bottom of the bottle. The Whistle Soda Elves were the mascots for the Vess Beverage Company located in St. Louis, Missouri. The elves were introduced around 1938 and appeared on Whistle orange soda products until the early 50s. The tagline for the soda was: "Thirsty? Just WHISTLE!". The formula for the popular orange-flavored soda "Whistle" was developed and marketed in the 1920s by Charles Leiper Grigg, a Vess salesman. Born in Price's Branch, Missouri in 1868, Grigg later invented 7Up, a lithium and lemon-lime flavored soda. In 1929, he started The 7Up Company. The Vess Beverage Company was founded by Sylvester "Vess" Jones in 1916 in St. Louis, Missouri. He specialized in cola and fruit-flavored sodas that were sold primarily in the Midwest. Just found a few more of these I forgot I had. Please check out my other vintage items. Please ask any question that you may have. Thank you, Dave
