Changed methods yesterday by getting as close to the water as possible, digging down and up. This dump has silted in over the years, I'm almost chest deep after only a few feet from the water.
Two 1915 cokes, both broke, but one was marked root 20 with only B'ville Ark on the base.
The usual medical bottles, a Melba Mfg perfume from Chicago and this N-Y Drug Concern from New York.
Has glass bubble and the seams stop short of the top.

Slick on the glass. Its marked on the small metal collar the rubber bulb and wand would have hooked to.

Thought I'd finally found that hutch, but still pretty happy with the new to me local soda.
May take a trip to the library to find out anything about it, nothing on the phone came up.
It's a crown top, but old enough to lack minimum contents.
Stewart's Bottling Works Blytheville Ark
The Rexall Drug Store
Dr Cardwell's W B Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin
Mahdeen's Shampoo?
And another Cardui bottle, this one's clear
All till next time.

Only a few hours to hunt this morning.
This is it. Chamberlain's Colic Cholera, and Diarrhea Remedy.
Found the bottom of a 1915 coke from Sardis MS marked Root 19, but just a bottom.
