In 1915, shortly after Coloradans voted for prohibition, the Coors family purchased the Herold China and Pottery Company located nearby. By 1920, the Coors Porcelain Company was advertising “Porcelain Apparatus and Utensils for all Chemical, Scientific and Technical Uses.” By 1921, a wide variety of Coors apparatus could be had from Arthur H. Thomas, a major apparatus dealer in Philadelphia.
