-A Pearson Bros. Aqua hutchinson from Bodie. There are no cracks or chips, save for a few lines on the applied top. Base is concave and there are air vent holes in the shoulders. In the fall of 1882, Bodie soda dealer, Mr. Brodigan was bought out by the Pearson brothers, who developed an extensive water system that included laying pipe from Rough Creek and a spring located at Lowe St. These are the sources of water they used to make their product, which was bottled in Bodie. The stone reservoir that was fed by these two sources held 3,000 gallons, which also drew local breweries to avail themselves of the water [Ref: A Look at California Hutchinson Type Bottles, Peck and Audie Markota, 1999].
