For me, I'd like to see/find documentation from pre 1900 showing Hayes Bros produced alcoholic beverages such as Porter, Stout, Ale, Lager, Beer, ect., ect,. All I can find is non alcoholic beverages in my research. Not sure taking somebody's opinion, guess, assumption, maybe, is 100% proof. Not trying to give anybody a hard time. I'm curious to know what the bottle held? Leon

I'm in for some high quality, made the mistake of boots ya tie,and when I took them out that nasty black mud was packed in them. Back to the knee hi rubber boots. Although I know quality I don't think I posted this one from last week, not sure but I don't think it's older than 1890.
Well they didn't make alcoholic products, just can't find that particular bottle

Seems Hayes Bros was Bottling lake & river water in 1902 & calling it Wuakesha Springs Mineral Water, very deceiving. Another scheme was having horse meat sold in Jars at Saloons as some kind of beef juice or some concoction. Scammers. LEON.

The Hayes Brothers seem like quite the shysters
