Enterprise Bottling Co.-
The Enterprise Bottling Co. was located in Providence. It was on Chalkstone Ave. It is not listed in any RI directories, so it was likely in business for less than a year. I strongly believe that this was a company created by Simon Levin or the Levin Bros., as they were located on the same road and this bottle has an identical style of embossing. No more proof yet.
Alexander Cohen, 497 Chalkstone Ave. in 1917 bottler?

Samuel J. Esten-
In 1859 Samuel J. Esten (1827-1900) bought the mineral water company of Isaac H. Penno. From 1847-1855 he was listed as a grocer with his father, Reuben W. Esten on Charles St. He was listed with no occupation at 152 S. Main St. in 1853. He was still listed as a grocer at 145 Charles St. with his brother (?) Willard in 1857-58. In 1859-1865 he was located at the rear of 95 North Main St. Jeremiah and Isaac Penno and his associates stayed in the company for a while, until Esten joined J. P. Eddy & Co. Samuel was just listed at his house at 14 Cady St. in 1867. In 1867 J.P. Eddy & Co. were listed as bottlers at the same address. Samuel probably left the bottling business around this time. J.P. Eddy & Co. was succeeded by Wallace W. Boynton by 1870.
In 1889 a Samuel J. Esten lived at 169 Charles St.
