WILL CONSOLIDATE.
______________

The Bottling Works of this City to be
Placed Under One Management.

A new bottling company to be known as the Lebanon Consolidated Bottling company has been formed with a capital stock of $50,000 in 2,000 shares of $25 each, and will be shortly incorporated by letters patent under the laws of this state.
  The object of this new company is to purchase the valuable plant and established business of the Lebanon bottling works, Snyder's Keystone bottling works, Martin's and Clemens Schonder's bottling works, which control the bottling business in this country.
  By the consolidation of the four above named plants under one management, the expense account will be reduced and competition avoided.
  The cash capital required is about $25,000, but the company have arranged in making the application for their charter, to increase the issue of stock to the sum of $100,000, should it be found advisable.
  The company proposes to erect a suitable building on a site of land, which has already been selected in the city limits, and the plant will be a complete one in every respect, including a cold storage house, etc.  A large amount of stock has already been subscribed for and the books will be closed as soon as the 2000 shares are duly allotted.  As soon as the company is incorporated, a meeting will be held by the shareholders to elect directors and transact business.  Subscriptions will be paid by subscribers on demand to the Valley National bank to the credit of Jacob B. Karch, cashier, and Enoch Snyder, as trustees for the company.
  Applications for stock can be addressed to any of the following gentlemen: Wm. Rehfuss, Lebanon bottling works; Enoch Snyder, of Snyder's Keystone works; David C. Martin, of Martin's works; Clement Schonder, of Schonder's works and Jacob B. Karch, cashier of Valley National bank, or to G. Alva Montz, North Eighth street, who will be glad to give any information on the subject.
