The conveyor was built by Stephenson-Adamson and was located at the American
Bottle Co plant. It could be the Streator plant, but With Ray's post, we
aren't sure...
We think the number on the gon is 87318.
Thanks!

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.
