Cadillac Bottling Works lasted at least into the 1920s. I have an abm version of your bottle and a quart size blown crown also.   I was fortunate enough to find an early Pomeroy hutch from Cadillac on eBay a few years back, I believe Pomeroy was the predecessor to Cadillac Bottling Works.  If you're familar with Cadillac, I think it was located where US-131 crosses over the Clam River on the north end of town.  I'll have to check some of the plat books and maps
I was born and raised in the Cadillac and dug the quart bottle on a farm dump on some land that my dad was renting when I was a kid.
Did you find the bottle in the Cadillac area?   It would interesting to correspond with anyone who digs up that way. Besides the spots Bill wrote in his post, we also dug behind an abandoned house in town, we thought we found two pits. All they had was cinders.  No glass to speak of.   It was lot of fun anyway and I'd be looking to dig next time I get up to Cadillac.

I will PM you later, just got home from work and need to lay down a while.   I also dug a TRAVERSE CITY BREWING CO. bottle. Its bim slug also, research says aprox 1903, and the map shows they were just off the river mouth on the Boardman River  at the bay, not far from where the Holiday Inn is.I'll post a few pics in dig and find later.

Here's the Pomeroy Hutch.  It reads J. O. Pomeroy & Bro.  Anyone seen this one before?   I have always thought that this Pomeroy was related or the same as Pomeroy sodas from west Michigan (Ludington, Manistee, etc.) There's a blob Pomeroy from Manistee on eBay right now.
