What does the mark on the heel of a bottle mean?

[brynnc]

I'm looking at two bottles

First is Brody Bottling Works from Chicago, the second is American Bottling Works also from Chicago. The American Bottling Works also says "B. BRODY PROP. CHICAGO TRADE MARK REGISTERED B"


Brody Bottling Works has: S 13 A B CO on heel
American Bottling Works has: S 12 A B CO. on the heel

Are these two companies related? What does the mark on the heel mean?
