Mineral Wells Bottling Works
Date: c. 1900
Creator: unknown
Description: A number of the early mineral water wells bottled their product and sold it nationwide for its reputed health benefits. Since the name of the particular well associated with this turn of the 20th century endeavor in this picture is not identified, it may well have been the innovater of the bottled water industry. This photo apparently shows new equipment being delivered. What appears to be a scar on the tractor wheel indicates the original picture was probably damaged and was repaired by Mr. Weaver for a duplicate photo. Later development of the crystallizing process eliminated the substantial shipping cost of water and adversely affected the bottled water industry. The concentrated crystals greatly expanded the distribution of the beneficial minerals inherent in the water and created its own industry. It also led to some legal problems because of the limited supply of crystals and attempts to satisfy the voracious market.
