Thread-topic: Wooden tank cars 2

Although the Zephyr note included the possible Washington State connection to Aurora Lithia Water, digging around old magazines shows that this water came from limestone deposits in Montgomery, Illinois, which is just south of Aurora. It was highly recommended at the turn of the century to treat lithaemia - the presence of an excessive amount of uric acid in the blood.  Hinkley & Schmitt later rebranded as Hinkley Springs.

I’d still like to learn about 91998 and whether it was also used by the same company.

In 1905-6, two wooden tank cars numbered 91998 and 91999 were built at Aurora, and given class TW-1 in the later classification exercise. A photo of the latter car appeared in Zephyr 62, and showed that the car was lettered “Aurora Lithe Water” (which is believed to relate to Aurora, Washington State) and “Hinkley & Schmitt Distributor”.

Does anyone know anything about the other car?
