Indian Territory druggist from McAlester

[stephengray]

Here is a new drug bottle I added to my collection. C. Springer Drug Co. McAlester, Ind. Ter. C. Springer was also one of the main guys of the bottling works in town from which there is a territorial hutch and crown known. It is from my home town of McAlester, Oklahoma and this is from Indian Territory, before Oklahoma became a state. It is a pretty hard bottle to get.

Here is a picture of the South McAlester Bottling Works South McAlester, Ind. Ter. hutchinson that C. Springer was part owner of.

Here is a picture of the bottling works and that is C. Springer standing in the doorway. Guess he was a busy guy with the bottling works, drug store, lumber and railroad tie business plus other stuff. Boy, I had to crop the picture to nothing and lighten the color to get the file size down.

Gotta love the IT bottles. I have seen plenty of IT sodas but that is the first druggest. Thanks for sharing.

Instead of the usual "I.T." embossing both the hutch and the druggist have "Ind. Ter." which is really cool.
