SEVEN-UP BOTTLING COMPANY. In 1919, Charles Lieper Grigg worked for a St. Louis, Missouri, manufacturing firm owned by “Vess” Jones. Grigg was the firm’s top salesman and came up with a new orange drink he called Whistle. Imprinted with the slogan, “It’s cloudy in the bottle,” Whistle rose to become the company’s top seller. As a result, Grigg was promoted and assumed the number-two post at the company.
However,problems arose between him and Vess, causing Grigg to find his fame and fortune elsewhere (with the Howdy Company) in 1920. In 1928, he debuted a new lemon-lime drink that became Seven-Up.
