Celebrating 100 years in the soft drink business : the story of L.L. Minges & M.O. Minges / John Franklin Minges III.
Inside, you will read the story of Luther Lester Minges, age 30, and Miles Otho Minges, age 29. Both men risked it all by leaving behind the jobs they knew, selling the family farm, and traveling over a hundred miles to a small town down east to start a new business venture without prior experience. The year was 1923, and the two men were challenged by not only having between the two, twelve children and their wives to feed but competing against five other soft drink bottlers in the area. One hundred years later, the family business continues to thrive with a fourth-generation family at the helm.
