Although you are not old enough to remember, what are know today as "gourmet sodas" are actually replicas of old-fashioned traditional beverages. At the turn of the century, these carbonated beverages first became popular at soda fountains where flavored syrups were mixed with seltzer water to produce a refreshing treat. However, their rise in popularity did not occur until the advent of modern bottling equipment. |
| Throughout the 1940's and 50s it was not uncommon for a family to drive down to the local bottler and fill their wooden crates with the different varieties of sodas. Unfortunately, this tradition has been replaced by the 2-liter plastic bottle. In keeping with our company heritage, we at the Boylan Bottling Co. are proud to make available again the authentic, full-flavored, high-quality beverages of yesteryear in traditional glass bottles. |

| The White Rock company was founded in 1876 near Waukesha, Wisconsin; where crystal clear mineral waters bubbled up from a large white rock, much like the one pictured on the White Rock label. The site had previously been frequented by wandering Potawatomi Indians and white settlers who valued the waters for their "medicinal" values and legendary healthful qualities. |
 |
| By the 1890’s, White Rock had become America’s largest selling sparkling table water and mixer. This was due in part to the transition from a medicinal beverage to a sophisticated beverage with a quality that allowed it to be served alone or with alcohol. Today, the fourth and fifth generations of the Morgan family still own and operate this ever changing and evolving stalwart of the beverage industry. |
