Notes:
The Lyon Beverage Works apparently didn't last very long. The 7-Aug-1921 Washington Post had a want-ad for a saleman "to sell nationally advertised product; steady job, good pay to right men. Apply Lyon Beverage Works, Inc., 225 Pa. ave. nw". An article in the 8-Jun-1927 Washington Post said that Lyon Beverages had filed for Bankruptcy.
