I just found this in a 1928 Detroit directory. The 16951 Hamilton Ave address is right, but I'm not sure if the Hamilton Ave address in Highland Park is the same as it is in Detroit, but I'm thinking it might be. I did a quick search for the name Mooradian Maderos but haven't found anything yet. Based on other references I've seen, the American Soda Water Mfg. Co. was definitely located at that address in 1928. But there was no specific listing for the company under that name in the 1928 directory.

This is the closest listing I could find in the 1928-29 Detroit directory for the American Soda Water Mfg. Co. , but I'm not sure if its related ...

Correction on the name ...

It reads backwards and is Maderos Mooradian

P.S.

The 1928-29 directory listing for Maderos Mooradian might indicate that he was just an employee of the American Soda Water Mfg. Co. I do not know what the (HP) means!

 

[SODAPOPBOB]

Duh!

(HP) stands for Highland Park!

Here is every bottler/bottling related listing in the 1928-29 Detroit directory. I don't see a match! Check it out - maybe I missed something ...

You can do your own Google searches, but I assure you there are numerous listings for the American Soda Water Mfg. Co. shown as being located in Highland Park between 1924 and 1931. I also found several other listings for the same company from 1916 when they were apparently located in Detroit proper. But regardless if they were located in Detroit or Highland Park, they should be listed in the 1928-29 directory, but they're not, which I cannot explain.

I just noticed a name listed in the directory for the 16951 address. Its in the second bottler/bottling snippet under the name ...

Sahagian, Paul

That's the exact address I keep seeing on Google between 1924 and 1931 for the American Soda Water Mfg. Co.
