These are all from the same company.
ORIGINAL: celerycola
1907 order card for Berkeley Springs Bottling Works. Among the Nationally advertised brand-name drinks were Celery-Cola, Koca-Nola, Ron-Bre, Peach Mellow, and Rasport. This order for sixteen cases was for a store in Maryland, just a few miles down the Potomac River. I would bet they were delivered by barge.
The old bottling works building is currently for sale - the contents long since removed. There's a great display of Berkeley Springs bottles and signs in one of the local antique shops just across from the springs. I will be passing through there twice next week - stopping Sunday after the Fourth for the farmers market in front of the courthouse. Peaches should be in now.
