E. Schweigler Soda Water Co.
2705 Juniata St.
St. Louis, Missouri
1909-1936
Ernest Schweigler started his bottling operation in 1907 at the young age of 23 years. From what I have read Ernest was one heck of a bowler and had a top notch team in his day. Ernest died at the very young age of 44 in 1929 from some sort of throat cancer. I find listings for Schweigler Soda Water until 1936. Not quite sure who ran the company after Ernest's death.
