Elks Club Gets New Bubbler in 1919

From the March 13, 2019, MidWeek  (DeKalb County, Illinois)  "Looking Back."

1919, 100 Years Ago.

"The water cooler that has been in use at the Elks club for some time past will soon be a thing of the past.   Today A.W. Marvin and William Bagg have been busy installing  one of the latest  models of sanitary drinking fountains, not ice water but ice cooled, and when completed, the club will be well equipped along this line.

"The bubbler is built on the order of a thermos bottle, and although the water does not come into contact with the ice at any time, it is iced water."

Bubblers, of course, was the name used for drinking fountains back then.
