Taka-Kola


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Taka-Kola Bottling Corp, 225 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington DC (1919-1921)

Notes:
Taka-Kola only shows up in Washington DC city directories for 3 years. A thread on antiquebottles.net said that the company was sued by Coca-Cola in 1921 for trade mark infringement. Maybe that's why they didn't last very long. The same thread listed all the known Taka-Kola bottlers - all of them were in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Washington DC.
