Soda water and Beer
In 1877 the E.L. Husting Company established a factory to produce soda water and later added weissbier. The company flourished during prohibition by producing 'near beer' and selling it along with its soda water. In 1932, it became the exclusive bottler of Coca Cola for Milwaukee County. After prohibition the company expanded to become a wholesale distributor of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages including the Seagram's and National Distributors lines, Heineken and Heileman's from La Crosse. Soda production ended in 1960.
