Fading Images of Bear Lithia Water Bottles Highlight Elkton Show
Casey Billhimer notes Bear Lithia Spring Water marketed in Elkton from the 1880s with over a dozen bottle variations built through 1914. Virginia Bear Spring Water revived sales around 1920 after A B Cover acquired the brand, then ceased by 1930. Elk Lithia Water evolved from Kite Lithia Water with rare half gallon and pharmacy bottle types. Examples from Mike Powell’s collection are on display at the Elkton Welcome Center Saturdays 10 am to 2 pm or by appointment.
