Has anyone heard of a company call Tru-Fruit Juice Co. of Chicago Illinois. I have a bottle with the following on its label:

Tru-Gren
Trade Mark
12 ozs.
"MAKES THAT DRINK TASTE BETTER"
GRENADINE
MADE FROM
FINEST IMPORTED POMEGRANATE JUICE
VEGETABLE COLOR ADDED
TRU-FRUIT JUICE CO.
Chicago, Ill.

The maker's mark is Owen-Illinois with a 4 off to the right. Also has a cork top. I can take a picture if anyone thought it would help.

TRISH...all I could find so far was Grenadine is a mixer for alcoholic drinks...

Tru-Fruit keeps taking me to the Yoo Hoo chocolate drink site and it's 1920's inventor in NJ...No Chicago.

To venture a guess, Id think your bottle is most likely pre-Prohibition....
