c1895-1899 - Hutchinson style soda bottle, clear, with marble-stopper top. Fully embossed slug plate. Scotsman James Dewar began his soda business in 1892. Known as the Elko Soda Works, his business supplied the town and surrounding area for a 50-mile radius. Somewhere in 1899, Dewar sold the business to another Scotsman, John MacFarlane, who changed the name to the Elko Bottling Works. (from "Nevada History Through Glass" by F. Holabird) -61036
