I'm from Winnipeg Canadacan!
According R.E. Stock's book - "A History of Carbonated Beverages in Winnipeg"
"The Wishing Well Soft Drink Company started in Winnipeg in 1938, and was located at 1325 Portage Avenue. Wishing Well soft drinks were actually a product of the National Dry Limited, an eastern company. The bottling and distribution was taken over by Zero Bottling Works , in Winnipeg.
It goes on to say Zero Bottling Works started in Winnipeg in 1929, and was located at 85 Euclid Street. In 1930, Zero moved to 90 Lorne Avenue. Zero Bottling Works remained at this address until the 1960's."
So, Canadian Bottles, from the above I would imagine Zero took over ALL of the bottling and distribution of Wishing Well nationally even though it was a product of National Dry. Does that make sense? Do your other wishing Well bottles have any locations other than Winnipeg on them?
