White rock bottling Company -is just down street from me . My Mom played at the owners mansion years ago . The White Rock lady sign is very collectible and very sought after . The Company is no longer open it closed several yrs back but we still have White Rock Ave that led to Company . Many yrs back it was said we had healing water here and people traveled here to get spa treatments n water including some presidents . That was not true of coarse that was in late 1800's early 1900's . If this is an original and not a repro it has a very nice value !
I see a name at bottom of sign by who made it what does it say ?
