and going and going. This stuff had to be some kinda fun, It was fermented milk and sooo good for you...

Yup, but that's a K not an X. Dr. Daddirian made it "famous"?.

Thanks bob, Nice info,now I wonder why they went out of business...?

I'm wondering ( and searching ) to try and determine when the brand was first bottled with a Crown Closure?

I had a thread here years ago with a bunch of stuff, I cant find it now. I do still have this image but the size limit won't show much. I'll email you a copy if you want it. I started to transcribe it to text but didn't get far.

Oh, and I've never seen anything but a crown top, at least not one that was a Dadirrian. The one posted I'm sure is and maybe a bit later than mine.Crappy picture below.

Notice the reference to a "label and cork" in this 1903 ad ... http://books.google.com/books?id=JCKgAAAAMAAJ&pg=PR31&dq=zoolak+bottle&hl=en&sa=X&ei=SZfUUqXvD87lygH584CgBA&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAQ#v=onepage&q=zoolak%20bottle&f=false

New York ~ 1909

Cork could mean any stopper though. I've seen crowns with wire bails and matching porcelain tops. Maybe they could stick a cork in a crown too. Just a thought because 1904 seams late to go back to a cork cork type.[]
