Label TextNational Dry Ltd. was the maker of Wishing Well beverages. The business was located at 303-309 Richmond Street on the west side at Bathurst Street from the early 1930's until the early 1970's. The water used in the beverages came from a spring near Komoka along the Thames River. A June 6, 1945 "London Free Press" article states: "National Dry Limited of London, Ontario is one of the largest manufacturers of bottlers' extract and concentrates in Canada, as well as one of the leading bottlers of carbonated beverages in the Dominion." National Dry Ltd. began about 1932 when Park Manross, N. J. Peever, and A. H. Haydon bought the assets of Alfred Tune Ltd. Their advertising slogan: 'Good Alone or in Company' was illustrated on the bottles and labels.
