MODOX

MODOX like many other beverages of the time was sold for it's medicinal value as well as for it's distinctive taste. Taste would have been similar to Moxie. Originally, it was bottled in the Nickel-Tone manufacturing plant at 17-19 Mathewson St. in Providence. Later on, bottling was moved to the site of the Hanley Brewing Company (once a major competitor of Narragansett Ale) located on Fountain Street in Providence. The soda was bottled and sold directly to the public via horse and delivery carts with Indians in full regalia. MODOX was also available at the local soda fountain or drug store, where the MODOX syrup would be mixed with carbonated water.
