Anyone know any history about this bottler of beverages from Hazleton PA? I believe they started in 1872. I found a blue & white screened bottle recently, but I can't find any history about the company.

Hello & Welcome,

I think it's then incumbent upon you to show us a few photos of this elusive bottle. What year is it? All the examples I just saw were ACL's.
