Okay, here is some more quirkiness! The bottle on the left is dated 1941The bottle on the right is dated 1950 Do you mean to tell me that in 9 years, no one, not even one person told them that you do not form the plural of beverage by adding an apostrophe? Nine years! Wow!

Yes that's a good one! I like the label color variation, so often it's just green or brown glass...now I know on some bottles brown glass variations are rare. So is the darker variation common?...did they change or fix the label after 1951? Ivan

Did they fix their label after 1951? No, I think they went out of business! Is the brown version rare? Both the maroon and the brown are rare, but there is a brighter red version that is as common as house flies!~bottlingco

My old boss used to put an apostrophe after every word ending in an S.In the limo garage, his signs said, "All driver's must clean limo's after run's". LOL

The Spring Bank ACL is a fairly rare bottle. There is a green glass version, and I don't have the green one;I have a lot of nice traders with different pictures including some Indian bottles, so someone find me one.For that matter, I still need a Unicorn bottle from PA.~bottlingco

Hey MCgla's's,Let's s'tart a new rule. Everytime you write an 's, you have to u'se an apo'strophe to attach it to word's! If it 'stand's alone, you have to precede it with an apo'strophe. I'll 'say one thing I me's'sed up about 'six time's trying to type thi's! LOL!

Okay, here's my newest ACL: Indian Ridge Mineral Spring Water from Elgin, Illinois. It's dated 1948. I've only had this one for a very small amount of time, but it's already one of my favorites. I really like the Indian on the label with the red and white color combination on green glass. I don't believe this one is an easy one to find... Do you have one, bottlingco?[attachment=IMG_2174.JPG] [attachment=IMG_2175.JPG] [attachment=IMG_2176.JPG]
