New York Bottling Co.


Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  New York Bottling Co, 729 11th St SE (1907)

Notes:
The only year I could find this company in DC directories is 1907.
The logo has a big K with a smaller RF on top of it - I suspect KRF are the initials of the proprietor. But another possibility is that it represents 3 proprietors. A legal notice in the October 2nd 1906 issue of the Washington Post mentioned the names Isaac Robin and Benjamin Katz in association with the New York Bottling Company. That would account for the K and the R, just not the F.
