THE DICK BOTTLING WORKS: MICHIGAN CITY, IND.

Here what we know about this firm. There were two different owners or companies from Michigan City Indiana that were bottling. One of them was C. G. Dick who later partnered with Harvey Luchtman. That bottling company now would become the Standard Bottling Works. The other company was owned by J. A. Dick. Still not sure if they were the same person or a family member involved in the company.
