R. H. STOLLAR
R. H. STOLLAR., Proprietor of
the 1. X. L. Soda Works, is a native of the State of Ohio, born in Washington
county, near Marietta
, in 1857. His parents were natives of Washington county,
Pennsylvania. He was reared and educated in the neighborhood of his
birth-place. And resided there until 1887, when he took a trip to New Mexico.
There he embarked in the soda , water business, which
he conducted successfully until his establishment was destroyed by fire. After
this disaster he came to California, and located in Santa Rosa, engaging in the
same business; thence he removed to San Francisco, and the result of his
enterprise and energy is the 1. X. L Soda Works. He manufactures all kinds of
carbonated drinks, his factory being equipped with the most approved machinery.
His syrups are prepared with the greatest care, and the high standard of the 1.
X. L. brand is attracting favorable mention. Mr. Stollar
is ambitious to have his products worthy of their christening, and to that end
he is bending every energy, with bright prospects of
lasting success.
