By the way ...

The 1880 U.S. Census list the same George F Bryan as a wood merchant and living in Adams Run. He was 27 years old at the time and married to Martha.

Lastly ...

Here's George Bryan's 1925 death certificate that shows his place of death as being in St. Paul's/Meggett (Hospital?). Its signed by his wife Martha who list her address as being in Yonges Island. Martha died seven years later in 1932 at the age of 75

P.S.

Even George's death certificate list him as a farmer with no mention of him as a grocer or bottler. I believe farming was his first love and that he kept at it his entire adult life.

This pretty much wraps up everything I have been able to find in connection with the bottle in question ...

Its a 1920 document that list Bradstreet Company Stores. This was prior to when Dun & Bradstreet merged in 1933. I don't think the company actually owned the stores, but rather tracked them in connection with production, credit ratings, etc.

Note: Even though it shows a population for Yonges Island of 200, based on what I've seen elsewhere, that count probably includes seasonal workers that moved into the area during peak harvest times. The average population for Yonges Island during the teens and 1920s was about 50-75 year round residents.

P.S.

Notice there were at least eleven (11) general stores in Yonges Island in 1920. I believe there is another page of the document that list even more. Its possible that some of them were nothing more than seasonal vegetable stands.

I actually went ahead and got a worthpoint account because I had a lot of other stuff to look up, and the damaged example sold for $26, in case anyone wants to know. Thanks for your help Bob!

Another one

We live in Meggett/Adams Run, and I just dug a bottle up out in the yard and googled the name. Looks like the same bottle, a little different in color. Excuse the dirt, but I haven't washed it yet.
