Donner Soda was part of the Truckee Soda Works that operated out of the Chinese Herb Shop in Truckee, California. The company was owned by William Englehart, Sr. who had previously operated a theater and then a grocery business before opening the bottling company in the early part of the Twentieth Century. It was rumored that some of Truckee’s finest bootleg whisky was produced here during the Prohibition years. This label, that measures 4.5” Wide x 3” High, is from the 1930s and is in mint original condition. You will notice a pair of sledders under the Donner name and snow shoes at the bottom.
