Based on ...

1. Epackage's D.O.C. ad

Regarding names associated with Stone Fizz ...

I found the following copy/pasted snippet view from a page in a 1925 "The Beverage Blue Book"

Stone Fizz Co. of America (Mur-kin ...

I tried to find the rest of the entry but failed. So I'm not sure what (Mur-kin ... refers to other than other entries like it that were in (parenthesise) indicated a name. ???

I have googled the bejabbers out of this so I have found most of what you have found, but I was able to clarify a few things via other sources that I frequent.

Stone Fizz Co. of America (Murkin & Miller), 1107 Chestnut Street Chattanooga. I own the 1925 Beverage Blue Book. searched Murkin and Miller after typing in the exact listing, and came up with very little. 1107 Chestnut Street has very little on Google about its history as well. Which is why I was hoping someone had the Chattanooga City Directories.

First of all, if this 'short link' doesn't work the first time, close it and then try again ... it should work the second time.

The Volunteer State, 1769-1923, Volume 4 ~ 1923

I have tried several times to find the rest of this page and need help to determine who the he is that is being referred to. Last time I incorrectly said he was the President of the "Volunteer State Life Insurance Company - he was a Director. But, as you will see, he was also the President of the Stone Fizz Company. But who the heck was he?

He was Jacob Walter Bishop, did a search on him, but found very little as well.

The same book yielded Robert Cannon Jones represents the directorite of the Stone Fizz Company of America

I believe that it's called a 'frozen bottle' only because of that surface on it, not any color (mine has no color).

Lots of bottles have that frosty look as part of their design. An obvious example is the Big Frosty bottles.

That was my thought as well. The patent refers to the bottle looking frosted.

Yeah he was a director on the board of Stone Fizz from what I can gather. Died in 1923.
