Hello Warren,
I do like that bottle a lot. The "This Bottle Loaned Not Sold" disclaimer is, to my mind, another unusual feature.
"There are two springs in existence in Asbury Park the waters of which are being bottled and being sold for drinking water. The first is called Indian Lady Hill Spring and the second is called Cold Indian Spring....
COLD INDIAN SPRING.
This spring has been in existence a number of years, and its water has been bottled intermittently. It is situated in Cold Indian Spring Park, which consists of about ninety-two acres of wooded land and is about two miles outside of Asbury Park, N. J.
Recently a new company was formed, which started to bottle water on a large scale, and about the first of June a new bottling house was built and several changes made in the spring, so that it is in an extremely good condition at the present time. The spring itself is at the base of a hill thoroughly protected from surface drainage and any human pollution. It has been walled in with cement and a basin formed having two compartments, each 8x4x0. The bottom of the spring is clear white sand, the water bubbling up through it. The spring is covered with a cement house. Water from the spring is pumped by a gasoline engine into a porcelain-lined steel tank of about 1.000 gallons capacity in the bottling house. From this it is led by a brass tin-lined pipe to various parts of the filling house, where it is used solely for all washing purposes and feeding the automatic filler. The bottles used are five-gallon demijohns, having cork stoppers, and two-quart, patent-stoppered bottles. For cleaning the bottles a large wooden vat is provided, filled with a strong solution of washing powder, heated by live steam. The bottles are allowed to soak in this for a considerable period of time and then placed upon automatic washing machines, equipped with rubber brushes, which thoroughly clean the bottles and at the same time jets of water are forced on the outside and inside. This same method of cleansing applies to the large bottles. After being washed the bottles are rinsed on an automatic machine which forces a stream of water on both the inside and outside of the bottles. After this the bottles are placed beneath an automatic filler, filled, capped and crated.
The capacity of the plant at the present time is about 1,500 gallons per day. but this can be readily increased.
The company has offices in Asbury Park and intends to ship water to points outside of the city, although at the present time their principal distribution points are along the present Jersey coast resorts.
Analyses of samples of water collected from both of these springs were made and the results show that in both cases the water is suitable for domestic purposes.
