For the
benefit of potential bottler customers who weren’t familiar with
DIRECTIONS FOR USING
1. The
Stoppers are numbered, according to size of button, from number one
(smallest) up to five.
2. There are three lengths of
wire springs: short, medium and long, used for different lengths of
bottle-necks.
3. Separate your bottles with
bottle gauge and fit as closely as possible.
When number one enters the throat and the
shoulder of number two rests in the
neck, the bottle takes number one stopper.
When number two enters the throat and the shoulder of number
three rests in the neck, the bottles take number two stopper and so on.
The Bottle Gauge illustration to the right is a
slightly different design and appeared i
n
the the W. H. Hutchinson and Son 1908
Bottler’s Book.
The gauges still sold for 50¢ and the accompanying caption read
“Bottles sometimes vary in size.
Before inserting the stoppers use this gauge to sort your
bottles. The size of the
bottle is indicated by the number on the rim of gauge that barely passed
through the mouth of the bottle.”
4. Remove all particles of
glass from the throat of the bottle with the scraper, so that the
stopper has a good seat to pack on.
5. Keep the
stoppers wet while putting into the bottles, so that they will enter the
throat easily.
THE
Best, Cheapest and Only Reliable
STOPPER.
You have only to see it work to be convinced that for
simplicity of construction, durability, cheapness and perfection as a
Stopper, it has no equal.
It adjusts itself to all Soda and Mineral Water
Bottles which have short necks.
If you have not seen our Stoppers, send for sample.
If you wish to know if they will fit your bottles,
send us a sample of your bottles, and we will let you know by return
mail.
This is no humbug and you are losing time and money by
continuing the use of corks or other stoppers.
It does not cost much to try our Stopper, and if your
bottles are not suited to the Stopper, try it this season, and next year
you will order bottles that the Stopper will fit.
These Sto
ppers
can be used in any bottle excepting those with very long, narrow necks,
but they fit best
those bottles that have short necks.
We have five
sizes of button or valve (C, D and E), for different width of throat,
and three lengths of wire spring (B, A, B), for different lengths of
necks of bottles.
Anyone desiring to order Stoppers should send two or
three bottles to be fitted, as it is necessary that the button (E) of
Stoppers should fit closely, to prevent the Stopper from being blown out
after the bottle is filled.
The Stopper should be wet when put into the bottle, so
as to enter the throat easily.
