Often when firms had a paper label they put it on a plain bottle -- those were a lot cheaper. But collectors love the paper labels, they have not survived over the years as many embossed bottles have. Check in with Ferd Meyer, the head of the FOHBC. He is a bitters collector and may be able to say more. His email address is fmeyer@fmgdesign.com. Good find!

It was a pleasure to get acquainted with him and the family during my research. I was not sure who Annie L. Smith and Harold were but, on your information, will make a quick correction. I also am adding to the post a very nice image of a Digestive bottle with embossing that you may find interesting. All the best.

The images you've posted with the article are very much appreciated. I wasn't aware of his bottle design. branding, or enterprising marketing and distribution...fascinating for us! Note - my cousin researched and did find confirmation that Annie L. Smith & her son Harold really were P.J. Bowlin's sister & nephew. Would love to see more images related to Patrick. I met knew Harold when I was very young when He was living with Aggie my great Aunt.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03481397108662069154noreply@blogger.com
