Davis
Tucker County
Chas. Campbell
1903—1916
Charles Campbell first appears as a bottler in Davis in 1903 (Mercantile Agency, 1903) and last appears in 1916 (Mercantile Agency, 1916). Unfortunately, for now, any other information regarding Campbell is unavailable to me or hasn’t been located yet. Information needed.

Davis Bottling Works
Information needed.
The 1923 Beverage Blue Book differentiates between the two bottlers in town at this point—Davis Bottling Works and J.F. Kramer. This at least shows that this was not Kramer’s bottling operation, though it does not rule out Campbell.
John F. Kramer
1907—1923
J.F. Kramer, according to Dun & Bradstreet, began as a confectioner until 1905, disappearing for a year likely setting up his bottling business, then continuing as solely a bottler from 1907 onward (Mercantile Agency, 1907). By September of 1923, he only operates a grocery store (Mercantile Agency, 1923). Information needed.
