Provenance |
Manufactured by Consumers Glass, whose factory was opened in 1917. Designed for William Taylor and Son Limited, an Owen Sound, Grey County bottling company. Dates to the 20th-century. William Taylor and Son Limited was established circa 1916. The 1922 Vernon's Directory of Owen Sound listed the company at 957, 4th Avenue East. It manufactured carbonated beverages. It was still at the same location circa 1966, but by then was known as "Taylor's Soft Drinks". W. Humphrey Taylor was the "Son" of the firm's name. The company was the second in Owen Sound to work for Coca Cola. It closed in 1971. Last owned by Brian Rice of Sauble Beach, Bruce County. |
