Radium Spring

  • County: La Porte County
  • Location: La Porte
  • Years Active in the Business: c. 1910s - 1920s

The Radium Spring Bottling Co. is one of those bottlers for which we simply cannot find much information, other than a 1920 advertisement stating that they were looking for salesmen (see articles tab above). We do not know exactly where they were located in LaPorte County or what years they were in business. More research is required.
