The Roger Williams Bottling Co. listed from 1903-1915.

The Roger Williams Bottling Co. appears in the Rhode Island Bottle Collecting database under "Water, Soda, Beer". But what is the "HK"???

The Roger Williams Bottling Co. listed in Auburn in 1903. In 1905 it was called a “copartnership”. In 1907-08 they were at 1016 Park Ave. In 1907 a Roger Williams Bottling Co. delivery wagon collided with car. No injuries were reported. In 1908 they had a second location in Providence at 270-272 Thurbers Ave. It was back at 1016 Park Ave. in 1909-1911. Harry Kauffman was the proprietor in 1911. In 1911-13 they were at 219 Gansett Ave.
