Vintage Sparkletts Drinking Water Green Glass Half Gallon

This is a half gallon bottle from Sparkletts historical Los Angeles, CA bottling plant. Sparkletts was founded in 1925 by Burton N. Arnds, Sr. along with partners, Washburne and Bollinger in Los Angeles. Dissatisfied with municipal water supply, he built a bottling plant near an east Los Angeles well and christened the company Sparkling Artesian Water Co. As demand grew, it outgrew its original facility, then Arnds commissioned an 80,000 square foot replacement at 4500 Lincoln Avenue, north of downtown Los Angeles. Due to supplies of free-flowing underground water, no containment tanks or reservoirs were necessary to keep the plant operating.
