Beaver Dam
The older bottles, have an M&A.  This stands for "Marquardt and Arndt.  Later bottles from the mid-forties into the early fifties, had S&B on the bottom.  This stands for "Sturm and Bodin" (pronounced bo-deen), which was my grandfather, and great uncle.  Grampa Sturm, chose the name "Glen Rose", not named after a person, but, was rather a "Rose in a Glen".  The company closed around 1964, and was run by two other uncles of mine.  The building still stands, and is currently used as a furniture stripping business.
