If Schweppes was concerned with protecting their name, trademark, and labels as early as 1857, then I gotta believe they would be all over a company like Cross's if they tried it -- especially if both companies were located in the same place at the same time such as Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I realize this is speculative and that we may never find confirmation of it, but it wouldn't surprised me in the least to discover that Schweppes was well aware of what Cross & Co. was up to, and possibly confronted them about it out of court, causing Cross & Co. to discontinue using ANYTHING that was even remotely similar to what Schweppes was using. such as an almost identical bottle label (Maybe?)
