From the record
Summary
Ownership as recorded: 1899 Sanborn and 1910 court evidence verify Eagle Brewing production. Local Providence bottle-history research states Eagle succeeded Bartholomew Keily's operation, identifies him as company president, and gives 1895 West Exchange Street addresses. Exact legal incorporation date remains secondary. Specialist indexes suggest 1899-1920 as corporate span; exact start retained as 'by 1899'.
