| | | | | | | | Extra info | Love Bottling Company was founded in 1919 in Eufala, OK, and soon after was moved to Muskogee by founder Kit Carson (K.C.) Love.
In 1919, two brothers, J. H. Love and K. C. Love, formed a soft drink bottling partnership in Oklahoma using the trademark of "Love" Beverages. They dissolved the partnership in 1928, and J. H. Love formed a new soft drink business (a partnership with others) in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, and K. C. Love formed one in Muskogee, Oklahoma. J. H. Love obtained United States Trademark Registration No. 248,553 for "Love" in script form in 1928.
J. H. Love has used the "Love" Beverage trademark continuously from 1928 until 1964 except for a time during World War II when his brother used it because of special sugar allowances. In 1964 J. H. Love sold his business and its goodwill to the Oklahoma Beverage Company.
In 1939, K. C. Love obtained United States Trademark Registration No. 372,247 for the mark "K.C." Beverages. During World War II K. C. Love sold "Love" Beverages at Camp Gruber until 1946 when he returned the bottles to his brother. K. C. Love did not use the "Love" Beverage trademark again until 1972 when he obtained a shipment of mislabeled bottles from the Liberty Bottling Company. K. C. Love used the trademark of "K.C." Beverages from 1946 to 1972, but did continue using the trade name of Love Bottling Company or Dr. Pepper Love Bottling Company of Muskogee |
