Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Michael O'Hanlon, 1325 7th St. NW, Washington DC (1896-1916)

Notes:
 Michael O'Hanlon (1867-1950)2 was listed as a clerk and then a bartender in the DC city directories for the early 1890s. The Saloon he worked for was at 1519 7TH Street NW, and belonged to Henry Murray.
In 1896 O'Hanlon started his own Saloon, at 1325 7TH Street NW. The 1897/1898 city directories have him listed as a liquor dealer at that same address, then from 1899 on he's listed under Saloons again.
Sometime after prohibition hit, he went into the automobile business, where he founded and was the president of the Triangle Motor Company3.

This is a 9.5" aqua blob top bottle embossed:
oval slug plate: M. O'HANLON / 1325-7" ST. N.W. / WASHINGTON, D.C.

There is an error in the embossing - it should say 7TH, not 7".

This is a 9.2" clear blob top bottle embossed:
round slug plate: M. O'HANLON / 1325-7TH ST. N.W. / WASHINGTON, D.C.
rear: REGISTERED NOT TO BE SOLD
This one says "7TH", but the "TH" has a dot under it, when it was probably supposed to be underlined.
