Re: [CBQ] American Bottle Company

Dave,

Do you mean the conveyer system is for the plant or did "American  
Bottle Co." make the conveyor?

I did a google search and found:

"American Bottle Company (1905-1929). Chicago, IL (office -  
1905-1916); Toledo, OH (office - 1916-1929). Glass plant locations at  
Streator, IL; Newark, OH; Belleville, IL; Massillon, OH & Wooster,  
OH. The American Bottle Company was purchased by Owens Bottle Machine  
Company in 1916 (with some of the plants being closed soon  
afterwards) but the Streator and Newark plants continued to operate  
under the American Bottle Co. name until 1929, when they became part  
of the merger that resulted in Owens-Illinois Glass Co."

So if you mean the building I would think it would be the Streator  
plant.
