Description
The Clicquot Club Company (pronounced "Klee-Ko"), also known as Clicquot Club Beverages, was one of the largest national beverage companies. It sold Ginger ale and several varieties of soda. After about 80 years of operation, the company was sold to the Cott Beverage Corp. in 1969, and the Millis, Massachusetts plant was shut down in 1980.
The company also was responsible for a number of pioneering moves in an effort to meet demand: In 1893, Clicquot Club was the first to put a metal cap on a bottle; in 1934, the first to sell quart bottles; and in 1938 the company became the first to sell its beverages in a can, at this time known as a "cone-top" can, making it easier to manufacture.
The Clicquot Club "Eskimo Boy" (which became one of America’s best-known advertising symbols) was displayed on an animated sign in Manhattan's Times Square (the largest animated sign in the world from 1924 to 1926).
