Suburban Club


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Suburban Club Ginger Ale Co Inc, 1310 Ridge Pl SE, Washington DC (1936-1939)
  Suburban Club Ginger Ale Co, 901 17th Street NE, Washington DC (1941-1948)

Notes:
A Sept 24, 1939 article in the Washington Post said that the company just opened an office at 901 17th Street NE. It goes on to say that the company was established in 1935, was also a franchised bottler of Pepsi-Cola, and that Samuel Schwartzman was the president.

Bottles:

suburban_01 book # 666
This is a clear 9.7" crown top bottle with stiples on the neck, embossed:
neck: SUBURBAN CLUB
base: SUBURBAN CLUB / WASHINGTON, D.C.
suburban_02 book # (unlisted)
This is a green 11.25" green machine-made crown top bottle embossed:
around heel: SUBURBAN CLUB WASHINGTON 28 FL. OZ.
base: ('R' in a triangle) / S C / Z34 7
Note that this bottle says "WASHINGTON" but not "D.C.". Suburban Club was local to Washington DC and Maryland, so it's unlikely this bottle was from any city named "Washington" other than D.C.
