The Atlas Distillery
RD #20, 5 th District
Peoria County, IL

"Samuel Woolner, President" (1895-1898), "Adolph Woolner Jr., General Manager" (1899-1903).

The Atlas was one of the Woolner Bros'. distilleries. They sold it to the Standard Distilling & Distributing Co., which was one of the companies formed from or as an extension of the Whiskey Trust. Downard (1980) suggests that The Atlas was passed on to the U S Industrial Alcohol Co. and the Century Distilling Co. on Repeal. It ultimately was bought by National Distillers Products Co.
