Glass Manufacturing Co. operated from 1888 till 1919. &nbsp;It was later renamed Ball Bros. Co. (1919-69) and then Ball Corp. (1969-).<br><br>Three \u201cLightening\u201d fruit jars were recovered from the privy. &nbsp;The patent for the \u201cLightening seal\u201d was bought by Henry Putnam in 1875. &nbsp;The patent was for a seal that closed small-mouth bottles and it was used extensively for beverage bottles before the crown cap was invented. &nbsp;In 1882, Putnam  received his own patent for the application of the Lightening seal to fruit jars. &nbsp;&nbsp;By 1886, his \u201cLightening\u201d fruit jars were manufactured by the Hazel Glass Co. (Toulouse 1971:331). &nbsp;C. N. Brady of the Hazel Glass Co. started the Atlas Glass Co. and using the newly developed Blue glass making machine the Atlas Company manufactured the \u201cAtlas E-Z SEAL\u201d version of the \u201cLightening\u201d jar. &nbsp;In 1901, Brady merged Atlas Glass with Republic Glass Co. (a company that made jelly tumblers) and the Wheeling Metal Co. (that made caps for Mason jars). &nbsp;The new company was called \u201cAtlas Glass and Metal Company\u201d. &nbsp;The next year (1902) Brady combined his new Atlas Company with the old Hazel Glass Co. forming \u201cHazel Atlas\u201d. &nbsp;This company manufactured the Atlas E-Z Seal fruit jars until it was bought by the Continental Can Co. in 1957 (Toulouse 1971:239).<br><br><span style=\"color: #222222;background-color: var(--theme-palette-color-2, #55a630)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Other Food Bottles<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color\"><strong>Other food related bottles included pickle\/preserve ware, condiment bottles such as mustard, catsup, jelly tumblers, and spice shakers as well as oil bottles and serving bottles such as castor bottles.<br><br><span style=\"color: #222222;background-color: var(--theme-palette-color-2, #55a630)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Cooking Related items<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color\"><strong>Cooking related materials included 4 pans, 3 panhandles, and a coffee pot. &nbsp;All were of gray enamelware and popular items in the Sears mail- order catalog.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color\"><strong><span style=\"color: #222222;background-color: var(--theme-palette-color-2, #55a630)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Wine<\/span><br><br>The only food related bottles most commonly found in the Unit C part of the privy vault were wine bottles. &nbsp;It is possible that wine would have been used both for medicinal purposes in the infirmary as well as for the sacraments during services in the Chapel building. &nbsp;These uses would explain its dominance in the Unit C section of the privy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color\"><strong><span style=\"color: #222222;background-color: var(--theme-palette-color-2, #55a630)\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Alcohol<\/span><br><br>Several \u201cmale oriented\u201d materials were recovered. \u00a0These materials did not appear to fit within the \u201call-girl convent school\u201d genre. \u00a0Most were recovered from the Unit A location. \u00a0These materials included whiskey and beer bottles and flasks, shot glasses, a smoking pipe stem and firearm material.<br><br>Whiskey and beer bottles included Jesse Moore Hunt\u2019s Bourbon &amp; Rye and John Rapp &amp; Son bottles.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"339\" height=\"299\" src=\"https:\/\/wolfcreekarcheology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Outhou91.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wolfcreekarcheology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Outhou91.jpg 339w, https:\/\/wolfcreekarcheology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Outhou91-300x265.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 339px) 100vw, 339px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><span style=\"color: var(--theme-palette-color-8, #ffffff);\" class=\"stk-highlight\">Bourbon and beer<\/span><\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-palette-color-8-color has-text-color\"><strong>Jesse Moore Kentucky bourbon was distributed in San Francisco by Elia Chielovich (a Serbian immigrant). \u00a0Henry B.
