Hello, I'm hoping by some stroke of luck there might be someone in this knowledgeable group who is located in Atlantic Canada and might have some helpful hints about these bottles. Here is what I know about the Sussex Mineral Springs Co."In 1895, mineral waters were discovered on Church Avenue by S. H. White. White formed a partnership with G. Armstrong and started the Sussex Mineral Springs Company. Sales improved when carbonation, sugar and flavourings were added to the water. In 1910, the company built this building on Pleasant Avenue to house the business. In 1911, J. Howard Pearn and G. Percy Bolton formed P & B, a bottling company that was in direct competition with Sussex Mineral Springs Company. In 1929, the two firms merged to form Sussex Ginger Ale Ltd. In 1930, renovations took place at this building to double the capacity from 5000 bottles a day to 10,000 bottles"I love these old crates and the bottles are most interesting. It might appear that whatever ate through the labels had a propensity for that particular ink colour. I'm pretty sure I can make out:
Strawberry, Grape, Lime & Lemon, Orange, and Root Beer
Such an exciting find. Thanks for your help.
