Notes:
Rich Grain Distilling Co. listed from 1869-1916. OASG corrects the listing in HSG, which shows this glass as "High Grain". In 1892, the company was drawing liquor from warehouses of the J B Wathen & Bro. Co. distillery (RD #363, 5th District of KY): see the distillery listing for more details. Their "own" Distillery (#815) was in Louisville and owned by John G Roach & Co. An ad in Fike suggests that they were established in 1869. A flyer from 190_ notes that Secretary of the company was Or. H Berlinger.
