    Dream Soda is a 6 1/2 ounce bottle dated 1947 from the Brockway Glass Co.
    Imperial is a 10 ounce bottle dated 1944 from Obear-Nester Glass co.
    Imperial Club is a 10 ounce dated 1948 from Obear-Nester Glass Co.

    I found a Herman Hoffmann had registered the Imperial Soda Water Co. in 1944 and the Dream Bottling Co. in 1947.
    Both were bottled at the same plant, 3104 Page Avenue in St. Louis, Mo.

    I believe the Dream was bottled in many other cities but am not sure. If anyone knows the franchise city, please let me know?
    I'm thinking the Imperial was unique to St. Louis but am not positive. If anyone has seen this soda bottled elsewhere let me know?

      It looks like it was also bottled in Dunn North Carolina & Alliance Nebraska.

      Herman Hoffman is my grandfather. Imperial Soda and Water Bottle Company was local to St. Louis. It was a Soda and water bottle distribution company. I have many fond memories going to work with my father when I was younger. We pretty much had access to and consumed every flavor soda on the market at the time. Cant remember what year the business closed down, but I want to say late 60's early 70's

      Yesterday I found one of these bottles while digging next to where an old house used to be. Unfortunately the top is broken, but I kept it because I thought the name was interesting. It also says it was bottled in St. Louis Missouri. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing

      My Dream Soda bottles from my hometown both say Butler, Missouri. They may have been filled at the Coca-Cola Bottling Co at 201 North Main Street, Hurt Distributors at 6 W Chestnut, or Seven Up Warehouse on Hwy 71 now the 49 Business Loop in Butler, MO.

      Cool!
      I have discovered since I first posted this that Dream Soda was franchised from the The Dream Company, Los Angeles, California. They would have sold their syrups and bottles to any bottling company that wanted a franchise. A bit more research will be needed to figure out which soda operation in Butler was selling Dream. I would guess Coca Cola as they are listed as a bottling company, but not positive.
