Summers & Allen
Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Summers & Allen, NW Corner King & Pitt Sts, Alexandria, VA (1887)
  Summers & Allen, 102 & 104 N Pitt St, Alexandria, VA (1888)
Notes:
Presumably the "Summers" was "Charles J.W. Summers", who's name also
appears on Alexandria bottles2.
A directory from 1888 lists Summers & Allen as "Soda Water Manufacturers".
I believe the 2 different addresses in the 1887 & 1888 city directories are referring
to the same building (102/104 N. Pitt looks to be the same spot as NW corner of King
and Pitt Streets).
