El Paso Beverage Co. (1935) and T. R. Fye Products Co. (1936)
     In 1935, Thoedore R. Fye and W. H. McCullough of Roswell, New Mexico initiated the El Paso Beverage Company with George Holdefer as manager.  The business location was 104 S. Florence St..  The following year, El Paso Beverage Company was gone, but Fye listed his own company, the T. R. Fye Products Company, as a bottling works at 407-9 South Virginia Ave.  Despite Fye's listing himself as a bottler for one year, he primarily sold extracts and syrups, especially snow cone syrup.  Although the exact timespan is unknown, Fye was actually in business for several years (EPCD 1935-1936; Nicholson interview).
