The Liquid Carbonic Acid Manufacturing Company.

The greatest carbonating supply house in the world this month claims your attention in a handsome insert in the "Century" number, exploiting a few of their different specialties.
The first page is a striking representation of the "Thirsty World" with the mercury up in the 90's. The Diamond brand concentrated fruit syrups, crushed fruits and fruit juices are the finest goods of the kind offered to the dispensing trade. The new advertised fountain specialty of the Liquid Carbonic Acid Mfg. Co. is "Grape Kola," and we are informed that the sales on this delicious drink are far in excess of anything fondly hoped for. The introduction of "Grape Kola" has opened up a new avenue of profit to the dispensing trade.
The Liquid Carbonic Acid Mfg. Co. are putting into operation all their faculties for good advertising on this particular specialty. They are furnishing the dispensers who handle "Grape Kola" with a handsome Porcelain Serving Urn, and also presenting them with quantities of napkins, engraved tumblers and the handsomest little advertising booklet which we have ever seen, containing a nicely displayed advertisement of the dispenser. In addition to this they are also presenting handsome awning streamers, and cooperating in every way with the dispenser to obtain enormous sales for this really delicious fountain beverage.
They are also advertising their New 1900 Soda Draft and "Purity" system of serving soda water, which appears to us to be perfect in every detail.
The Perfection Electric Continuous Automatic Carbonator is taking the dispensing world by storm, and is without doubt the best machine for the purpose ever put upon the market. Their line of soda fountains is exceedingly complete, comprising everything from a counter tube to an $8,000 built to order onyx apparatus.
In addition to manufacturing all their own machinery and supplies, the Liquid Carbonic Acid Mfg. Co. have in their employ the best trained chemists and mechanical experts extant, and customers everywhere are invited to avail themselves of the services of these experts without charge, whenever they are in need of the same.
The "Liquid" people have just issued the finest soda water dispensers' catalogue ever turned out, and will gladly send a copy of same upon application to any soda water dispenser.
If you are interested in soda water or soda water machinery, it will pay you to correspond with eth "Liquid carbonic Acid Manufacturing Company.
