New York Bottling Co.


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  New York Bottling Co, 729 11th St SE (1907)

Notes:
The only year I could find this company in DC directories is 1907.
The bottles below have a monogram logo that either says "KRF" or "KR" (although the letters are not necesarily in any particular order). A legal notice in the October 2nd 1906 issue of the Washington Post mentioned the names Benjamin Katz and Isaac Robin in association with the New York Bottling Company. Those two last names could account for the "K" and "R" in the monogram. I suspect that they later added a business partner whose last name ended in "F".
