A nice email from a seltzerman
I got an email today that I enjoyed and though I would pass on:
I found your website - not sure if i have any stories but i was a seltzerman - a real one -my family started in Asbury Park NJ - 1906 - we filled and distributed seltzer - real seltzer trucks.
of course Fox's U-bet Choc syrup also distributed dr browns celray, Hammer Beverages.
Bought seltzer bottles from Bronx Siphon Supplies - if you have any questions about seltzer.
maybe I may have interesting insight.
Hope to hear from you.
Morton Popok - many times I called out seltzerman!
by the way seltzer is in my blood
Wasn't that lovely. In a follow-up email her reported:
have you been to a seltzer station Gomberg? at one time all the ny seltzermen had their bottles filled their - I of course did not because we filled are own bottles - at one time we use the single foot machine that you have pictured on your site - one bottle at a time, then we found a automatic syphon filler - it must have been 50 years old - schlepped it back to the jersey shore - it was heavy - came from downtown Pitt Street.
