Featured in this lot is this original 1919 Anaconda Products Company advertisement sign from Anaconda, Montana. The sign shows an egg-white color with blue lettering reading, "Anaconda Products Co. / Bottlers of Ginger Ale and soda Waters Anaconda, Mont. / Phone 68". The original Anaconda Brewery was built in Anaconda, Montana, near Walnut and West Fourth streets and operated by Joe Paul and Joseph Steger, later joined by John V. Petritz. About 1900 Henry Mueller took control of the Anaconda Brewery. Mueller also owned Centennial Brewery in Butte, the Billings Brewery, and was part owner of the Olympia Brewery. The Anaconda Brewery buildings also included a Brewery Saloon and Beer Garden and a bowling alley, which was added in 1914. Mueller's brother-in-law, Adam Tuchscherer, became a bookkeeper at the Anaconda Brewing Company. In 1908 Adam Tuchscherer became president of the brewery. In 1916 when Prohibition went into effect in Montana, all breweries and liquor stores closed. The Anaconda Brewing Company became the Anaconda Products Company, and continued to bottle soft drinks. After the repeal of Montana's Prohibition in 1926, the Anaconda Brewing Company was reopened at 1200 East Park in Anaconda, Montana, by Adam Tuchscherer and his two sons, Arthur and Walter on July 1, 1933. In 1958 the Anaconda Brewery closed and the soft drink division became the Sugrue Bottling Company. The sign has been set in a silver colored frame with floral designs throughout. The visible sign measures 9 5/8" L x 13 3/4" W, while the entire piece measures 10 7/8" L x 14 7/8" W.
