Company Names, addresses, dates1:

  O'Sullivan & Co, 628 S. Patrick Street, Alexandria, VA (1899-1902)
  O'Sullivan & Co, Patrick c Franklin, Alexandria, VA (1904)

Notes:
Michael R. O'Sullivan was a grocer and a bottler3. He bottled Pabst beer2.
The only mention I can find of "O'Sullivan & Green" was in an 1899 Richmond's Alexandria directory, but subsequent years of that directory list "O'Sullivan & Co". So maybe the name "Greene" was dropped around 1900.
An 1881 Alexandria directory lists an Edward O'Sullivan as a Soda Water Manufacturer, but I can't find any evidence that Edward was related to Michael R. O'Sullivan".
