The Sinalco Sanitary Bottling Company was established in Lexington around 1912 as an earlier bottler of Chero-Cola. Their bottling plant and warehouse was located at 424 Christie Avenue. The officers were J. M. Martin (President), William C. Rose (Vice President/Treasurer) and Jennie Dowd (Secretary). Around 1916 the company’s name was changed to Sinalco Bottling Company, with William C. Rose, Proprietor. He advertised:
“Will Sell or Trade Business, I Make My Own Cola, Drink Formula Goes With It, and Exclusive Sales of 20 Counties in Blue Grass Region.”
Around 1916/17 the company also became the franchise bottler of Club Cola. Around 1919, the Lexington Syrup & Beverage Company purchased the plant and assets of Sinalco.
