BACK

Did you know we were in the booze business?   Well with some help from friends, relatives, and EBay.  I have collected a few items.  Qty 3 bottles and a sales order form.

The bottles were located in the Northeast

John S. Doane Co.

149 Blackstone Street

Boston, Mass

 

Doane’s 149

Doane’s XXXX  RYE       pint

California Port

 

The sales info was found on EBay , in Vermont .   I spoke to the person who found the envelope inside the kitchen wall during renovations.  The letter is dated Feb.1,1914 with a self addressed envelope,  with 2 cent postage. It is hard to believe, for 50 cents - a quart of whiskey.  Hope you enjoy this,
