AMERICAN SODA FoUNT.
When the Stars and Stripes Rose 1t
BEGAN to FizZ.


Wherever American civilization goes,
there goes the soda fountain.
From the very moment the Spanish
flag was hauled down in the Philip
pines the demand for soda fountain
existed.
The man Of the hour appeared, hail
ing from Illinois. He arrived in Ma
nilla the very day the stars and stripes
first waved VIGOROUSLY over the is
lands. and SO well did he improve his
opportunity that he to-day is spoken
OF as the most successful business man
In the archipelago.
He was a confectioner and as such
began business. He discovered the
presence of the first American soda
fountain in this section of the far East.
A local drug store had bought it. but
the war had interfered with its intend
ed use. and it had been relegated to a
cellar The contectioner rescued it by
paying the price the shrewd owner
asked when he realized how much it
was wanted, and in so doing became
the first dispenser of soft drinks in the
Philippines.
That soda fountain became a thing
of Joy for expatriated Americans The
original one has been twice replaced.
Once in 1899. when a new one was
bought in China, and again in 1902. The
present fountain was bought in New
York at an expense of SIS 600. 1t was
purchased during a trip around the
world. which the owner was enabled
to make as a result of his successful
business venture.-W Washington Post.
