REMAINS IN SAME BLOCK DURING 48 YEARS EXISTENCE.  BUT CHANGES OWNERS 3 TIMES. 
WILL MANUFACTURE ICE CREAM, CANDY

    The Murphysboro Bottling Company, one of Murphysboro's oldest established
industries first opened its doors for business in 1875 -- just 48 years ago. 
The business was founded by Ed HAYES and while it has changed ownership three
times in its nearly one-half century of existence it has remained in the same
block.

    Under the guiding hand of Mr. HAYES the business grew steadily and new
machinery installed from time to time and the capacity of the plant increased. 
He conducted the business for 17 years when he disposed of it to Joseph STEINLE
on February 6th, 1892.  Mr. STEINLE added more equipment, sunk a deep well to
furnish a plentiful supply of pure water and thoroughly modernized the plant,
and increased its daily output to 100 cases of soda water per day.

    The company now owned by William KULL of Murphysboro and A.J. WILL of Herrin
has kept pace with the growth of the city and has one of the best equipped
bottling plants to be found anywhere.  Three years ago it was moved to the
corner of Thirteenth and Hanson streets where a now brick building 36 by 120
feet had been built especially for its use.  It is equipped with every labor
saving device and has a daily capacity of approximately 600 cases of soda water
per day.

    On August 10th, 1923 the bottling company acquired the Murphysboro Ice Cream
and Candy Company, located at Thirteenth and Manning Street.  Mr. KULL announced
today that he had placed orders for a new outfit of ice cream manufacturing
equipment which would be installed at the new building in connection with the
bottling plant.  The candy factory will remain in its present location, he said.

    The Murphysboro Bottling Company manfactures a complete line of soft drinks
and bottles the genuine Coca Cola.  They also carry a stock of soda fountain
glassware and supplies.
