national dry in toronto bought the rights to wishing well but stopped making it

the made wishing well soda on our property!!!!! dont no anything else thou

Any info on Wishing Well would be great ! I know it was started in London Ontario

I have a full wishing well bottle it is the pink one :) It was from my grandfather and I am only 11 years old :) not to brag

my dad had a Wishing Well distributorship in Chatham Ontario for as long as I can remember. He and his brother delivered it to the Chatham Kent area. The warehouse was on Willowmac Ave. They got their orders from London, ON. There were several flavors that were the absolute best but no colas. He died in 1959 and my uncle closed the business a year or 2 later.

Wishing Well was as common as Coca Cola when I was a boy in London and Toronto Ontario in the 40s and 50s. Their bottles were distinctive and the flavours I recall were orange, cream soda, lime or lemon lime, and root beer.

When I Was growing up in the 50"s /60"s, wishing well orange, lime and cream soda, was the best. I have yet to find anything close to it's flavour in others yet. other greats were, the old original hires root beer, ginger beer, and the pure spring drinks. To bad someone couldn't have the same recipe.

Not only did Wishing Well have great flavours, their pop came in 11 ounce bottles ! (a big deal if you were a young boy). My favourite was Black Cherry, but their cream soda was excellent.

Couldn't find detailed history of Wishing Well, or the maker, National Dry, but item images suggest 1920s or 30s to start. eBay has vintage metal signs, and an old wooden shipping crate, plus several bottles. Metal signs with thermometers from the 1950s were common. The company may or not have been tied to Canada Dry. London, Ontario. Reminds me of "All In the Family," when Archie Bunker, at work, mistakenly shipped parts to London, England instead of Ontario, and lost his Christmas bonus for it.

I worked at Wishing Well in London Ontario,Canada in 1959 delivering to local stores. Wooden crates with 24 glass bottles in a hot and humid summer made it very uncomfortable but sure built up my arms.I'm not 100% sure but I think we also bottled Pepsi at the time.It was a tough job and the pay wasn't great but at the end of the day you didn't have to worry about sleeping.

They also made Grape, Lime Ricky, Gingerale and a Club Soda. My dad and uncle who owned the Chatham distributorship used to get their orders once a week from the London bottling location and the gentleman who delivered was called Hutch. This would have been in the 1950's (dad died 1959, business was closed shortly after). I still have a Wishing Well Orange thermometer that came from the warehouse in Chatham. I recently purchased one of the wooden crates that J.C. Conway, my dad and my uncle used to lift. I can remember watching my dad carry four of those at once. I am not sure if the bottles were full or empty but I was impressed. Red Horse Signs in Woodinville, Washington makes a vintage Wishing Well sign I found on robynslakehouse.com site.

Does anyone remember the Wishing Well location? Possibly Wellingon and Horton?

My father John Perrin Townson started his own Wishing Well Pop Company in Halifax In the His Pop plant was down near the harbour in Halifax 30/40s. He had been head of Coke for the Maritimes before.

I remember as a kid back in the 50's-60's that the orange was NOY carbonated, does anyone else remember that, it was the only kind I would drink because it wasn't carbonated
