Site Update – October 9, 2026: We've added a new Wanted & Trade section to Indiana Bottle Collectors! This page features Indiana bottles and other bottling-related items we're looking to purchase or have available for trade. Other users may also submit items for consideration, and all submissions will be reviewed before being approved for listing. We're also continuing to expand the site with new sections for Beer & Soda Bottles, Milk Bottles, and other Indiana bottling-related categories. The Explore Counties page is currently down while we work on something new that will be simpler and easier to navigate. More updates are coming soon! Have an Indiana bottle or historical information to share? Please visit our User Submission page.

Frank Worthington

  • County: La Porte County
  • Location: La Porte
  • Years Active in the Business: c. 1910

The only La Porte city directory in which we could find Frank Worthington is the 1910 directory, where he is listed under saloons at 603 Michigan Avenue. He does not appear in the 1907 or 1913 directories. The address is listed under different saloon owners during those years, so we can only estimate that Worthington was active around 1910.

More research is required.

1907 – He is not listed in the 1907 La Porte directory. John A. Yorkey is listed at 603 Michigan Avenue as a saloon.

1910 – Worthington Frank (Louise), saloon at 603 Michigan Ave., phone 605, residence at 603 Michigan Ave.

1913 – He is not listed in the 1913 La Porte directory. Putnam & Ebert is listed at 603 Michigan Avenue as a saloon.
