Title: Fairmount Bottling Company
Post by: semafore on March 05, 2006, 05:43:43 PM
I just purchased a soda bottle on Ebay made by the Fairmount Bottling Company of Hackensack. According to George Scudder's essay "Fairmount - 1915 (http://www.hackensacknow.com/Fairmount2_1915.pdf)", page 2 (on the Local History part of this web site), this was a company owned by O.H Krause on Voorhis Lane. Does anyone know anything about the bottling company or O.H. Krause (who was my Great Grandfather)?

Is this the bottle you bought? Nice find. I'll look into O.H. Krause and let you know if I find anything.

Yes, this is the bottle I bought. Does anyone know is the Johnson Public Library will answer email questions? A 1920 Hackensack directory is always appearing on Ebay and I wondered if the library had a copy.

Library responded to your question:

The Hackensack Library has some city directories in book format and some on microfilm.  The 1920 Directory is on microfilm (the reel contains 1912-1920). It is housed in the Periodicals Dept. which is open Mon-Thurs 9 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and Friday and Saturday 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

 Since I live in Indiana and don't often get to Hackensack, is there anyone at the library or some interested student who would be willing to look through this directory for information on the Fairmount Bottling Company? It would be much appreciated.
