Probably only a few of our citizens are aware that we have the finest soda water bottling works in Southern California in our city.  Mr. F. J. Hill has been running the establishment for the past two years.  He says the business this summer is rushing-nearly twice as large as last year.  His machinery and bottles are are all imported from England, as American bottles will not stand the pressure of one hundred and fifty pounds to the square inch which he puts into them.  He has something new called champaign (sic) cider which is taking immediately with the public.  His goods are for sale everywhere, but those who wish to purchase goods by the dozen can do so at his factory on Fourth street, near the railroad.
