SODA WATER.
THE undersigned would respectfully inform the people
of Augusta, and adjacent towns, that he has opened, at
the corner of Broad street and Butler's alley, opposite
the Planters' Hotel, a Soda Water Manufactory, and is
now prepared to fill orders for any quantity of Bottles
Soda Water, Sarsaparilla, &c., which is guaranteed
superior to anything of the kind heretofore offered in
the city.
Having been engaged in the same business for the past fifteen
years, in the city of Savannah, should be sufficient of
itself to guarantee my ability to furnish a superior
article. My machinery is of the latest and most
approved construction; the fountains are iron, coated on
the interior with porcelain, consequently the water does
not come in contact, as in other apparatus, with copper,
lead or other medals, which are more or less injurious.
I will run a wagon to all parts of the city and deliver all
orders free of cartage.
JOHN RYAN,
Corner of Butler's alley and Broad street
Augusta, Ga.
