CONNOR'S SODA WATER FACTORY. John T. Connor opened the Connor's Soda Water Factory in 1897 at 141 2nd. In 1899 it was relocated to 2327 Couler. The company was moved again in 1901 to the rear of 10 Broadway. From 1905 to 1906 it was located at 2082 White.

One of these properties was sold to other who established the STAR SODA WATER FACTORY. The new owners were accused to disposing of or hiding bottles belonging to Connors. This was reported in the Dubuque Herald of July 16, 1896. --- Source: Burggraaf, Mike and Southard, Tom. The Antique Bottles of Iowa. Northfield, OH: Ohio Wholesale Copy Service, 1998
