It was at 184 Weybosset St. In 1896 the Cold Vapor Pure Distilled Mineral Water Co. was at 126 Atwells Ave. E.J. Dean was the manager. In 1898-99 Theodor Braun was listed as a bottler of carbonated waters at 126 Atwells Ave. In 1900 Joseph B. Roberts & Co. were bottlers at this address. Another directory lists Braun & Young as bottlers at 126 Atwells Ave. and 147 Pine St. in 1900. The Pine St. address was formerly owned by James Lavell & Son.
The What Cheer Bottling Co. was in Providence, RI. In 1901 it was at 126 Atwells Ave. Theodor Braun (or J. B. Roberts) was the proprietor. I believe this company was very short-lived, and not related to the company from the 1930s.
