Much like Coca-Cola, it was bottled for just one summer c.1917, in the Free Quill Building on Rt.1 South, which was then Washington Boulevard. In 1995 the building was still standing on the east side south of the alley. From c.1925 to c.1950 the building housed a pharmacy owned by several Laurel people and managed by Dr. Beatie (SP?). After the Quako operation ceased, wagon loads of bottles like this one were used as fill for the ground floor of the Free Quill Building when it was cemented over to serve as a showroom for Academy Garage Ford Automobiles.Collection
