boone Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 More history different spot. My great-uncle Everett (C.E. Beam) is on the left. He developed the renowned Michter's Pot Still Whiskey for Pennco Distillers. Bettye Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boone Posted March 4, 2002 Author Share Posted March 4, 2002 A label with Everett's name on it. His given name is Charles Everett Beam. (aka C.E. Beam). Bettye Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowdery Posted March 5, 2002 Share Posted March 5, 2002 Couldn't do that today. I believe Jim Beam Co. has the clout to prevent any other Beam from attaching his (or her) name to a whiskey label. Heaven Hill, in some cases, has had to resort to referring to Parker Beam as "Mr. Parker."And my old friend from Louisville, Bob McDonald, probably couldn't use his own name on a hamburger stand.<A target="_blank" HREF=http://cowdery.home.netcom.com>--Chuck Cowdery</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
