The Bottler's Helper: A Practical
Encyclopaedia For The Bottler Of Soft
Drinks Originally published 1907, reprinted 1993 by Ron Fowler
Beginning in 1906, Blumenthal Brothers, a Philadelphia extract and soft drink
supplier, began soliciting helpful hints from their customers. They were
inundated with 777 suggestions by bottlers from all states (except Delaware
and Rhode Island), Oklahoma, Indian, and Hawaii Territories, several Canadian
provinces, and foreign countries. In 1907, Blumenthal Bros. published The
Bottler's Helper, a compilation of the suggestions they received.
Whether you collect soda bottles from a specific geographical area, one
particular style of closure, or simply want to learn more about the day-to-day
operations of soft drink bottlers from the turn of the 20th century, The
Bottler's Helper is a fantastic resource. Now, due to facsimile reproduction,
the information in this extremely rare book is once again available to the public.
In addition to the complete 307 page text, The Bottler's Helper includes
appendices listing the page number, subject, firm name, bottler name, city, and
state/province/country for each suggestion submitted. This data was sorted by
subject, firm name, bottler name, and state/province/country, and an appendix
printed for each, making The Bottler's Helper an invaluable resource tool.
Soft cover, comb bound, 8.5" x 11" format, 191 pages. For ordering
information, contact: David Bethman, 5770 Church Road, Ferndale WA 98248.

An Index To: 294 Glimpses of Historic Seattle its
Neighborhoods and Neighborhood Businesses,
and 494 More Glimpses of Historic Seattle
by Ron Fowler
294 Glimpses and 494 More Glimpses by noted Seattle historian Paul Dorpat
feature wonderful images of historic Seattle. These fun books were widely
distributed in the greater Seattle area during the early 1980s. Selling for but
$2.94 and $4.94 respectively, they were hugely popular. Unlike Paul's
subsequent and equally popular Seattle, Then and Now volumes, neither of these
first two books included an index. Tired of endless searching for specific
images, we methodically reviewed both volumes and produced an index detailing
the content of the nearly 800 images.
Copies of these volumes frequently show up in Seattle area used book stores
and on-line auction sites. We maintain a small supply of used copies of both
volumes. EMail SeattleHistoryCompany@yahoo.com for availability and prices.
Published 2004, soft cover, comb bound, 8.5" x 11" and 18 pages. $10.00
each includes FREE shipping via USPS Media Mail. Washington State residents
add 9.0% sales tax ($ .90) per book. Send money order, cash, cashier's
