Sunshine Bottling Works


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Sunshine Bottling Works, 123 Ind Ave NW, Washington DC (1933)

Notes:
The only year the Sunshine Bottling Works shows up in Washington DC directories is 1933. A Washington Post article from July 13, 1932 says that the Ellis Duke of the Sunshine Bottling Works at 17 N Street NE was convicted for possesion of liquor (this was during prohibition). So that would indicate that Sunshine started out at 17 N Street NE before moving to 123 Indiana Ave NW.
