Googling Harry Holgate turned up ebay auctions for "Harry Holgate Leeds City Beverages" soda bottles. Leeds City Beverages would appear to be the company. I can't find a reference so far for this firm.

Hi D Ross. There is another Leeds in England and it annoys the heck out of me when doing internet searches for businesses or directions. They ask you which Leeds you mean. First choice is a village in Kent with a population that is probably in the hundreds or at a push thousands but just happens to be home of Leeds Castle and not far from London. Second choice is the city in God's own county with a civic population of around half a million and a metropolitan population of about half as much again (3/4M)

It annoys me immensely for precisely the same reasons .

My uncle used to drive from Ontario to Florida every year and went through a city / township called Leeds (Probably Alabama). He stopped off one year and called in to see the mayor and was made a citizen of Leeds (or freeman or somesuch), and got a write up in the local paper. I know for sure there is more than one, there are four listed on the Best Western website.As for a Harry Holgate box turning up in Houston, maybe somebody packed their stuff up in it when they emigrated.
