beer bottle car

The Billings Brewing Company office was located at the corner of North 23rd Street and Montana Avenue. In the early 1910s, the office was painted and a giant "Old Fashion" beer bottle was added at the entrance to match the brewery's beer bottle car, pictured in the foreground.

reminds me of the Oscar Meyer Weiner Mobile. Perhaps an ancestor?
