| Commentaires : | The Havelock Mineral Spring company was originally formed on November 27, 1891 in Havelock, New Brunswick by Squire William Keith along with other businessmen. The company suffered a major setback on May 25, 1895 when their building burnt down. The company moved to Moncton in 1912 in order to be nearer to the railway lines to cut down on the cost of shipping. J.A. Marven became president of the company at this time with his brother in law Chipman Keith who stayed on as manager. Some of the popular drinks of the company included: Havelock Ginger Ale, Havelock Iron Brew, Havelock Mineral Water, ginger beer and cider. The company ceased operation in 1929 when they leased out their building to M.W. Graves who continued producing soft drinks under the name "Evangeline Beverages. |
| Fonctions : | The bottle opener is used to open bottles but was also used as a method of advertising Havelock Dry Ginger Ale. |
