Manufactured Only By Pomeroy Bottling Works, Manistee, Michigan. "It all started when John C. Pomeroy, a non-drinker, met with some businessmen in a saloon in Milwaukee. There he drank a non-alcoholic beverage called 'pop' because a drinker of the beverage opened the bottle by 'popping' or hitting the cap so it went into the drink. John C. Pomeroy was hooked. In 1870, he established his own 'pop' factory." The business continued through several generations that would total 111 years of operation. Fine copy.
