In a 1915 city directory I found a Frederick W. Meyer listed as pres./treas., Otto Bachmann as vice-pres., and Paul Meyer as sec.
I am guessing that Fred is the same man that was partners with Charles Meinhardt with the Meyer-Meinhardt Soda Co. (1890-1918) and the same Fred that purchased the Enno Sander Mineral Water Co in 1912.
In 1916 a Herman Meyer is pres. and in 1917 a Elmer Meyer is sec. Herman and Elmer run the operation til the end, around 1944. Once again I assume that Fred, Paul, Herman and Elmer were all related in some way.
The first bottle pictured dates to the early days, around 1915 or so. The art deco bottle is dated 1937. The two quart size bottles date to the mid to late 1920's and the acl versions are from the early 1940's. Mound City is listed as the bottler for the Marver Brand of soda.
