  Try-Me Bottling Co, 1345 Fla ave NE (1927-1956)

Notes:
Try-me first shows up in Washington DC directories in 1927, but their ads appear in the Washington Post starting at April 10, 1926. They went for 5 cents a bottle then, and came in 7 flavors: Strawberry, Gingerale, Orange, Peach, Lemon, Root Beer and Grape. Try-me may have started in Alabama (one of the bottles below is marked with both Birmingham Alabama and Washington DC). They came to DC in 1926, but they also appear in other cities.
