Historical NotesYaky Bros. soda bottle. Yaky brothers was a local soda manufacture in Aliquippa, PA. They operated from at least the 1930s through the 1950s. The donor dug the bottle locally. They were also known as Yaky and Sons. Inc. and sold Yaky Beverages. They were located at 143 Main Street in Aliquippa. Perhaps they were a division or brand of Aliquippa Sanitary Bottling Works, listed at this same address and on their bottles.
