In an era when drinking beer was considered safer than drinking water, pubs were prolific and the centre of social and commercial life in Bendigo. (Bridgfoot,J. Taverns to Temperance: Pubs in Bendigo). While the Cohn Brothers and their 'tied hotels' and were one of the most successful brewers in the district, many smaller brewers also existed and the industry was a major source of employment. C.J. Glover or Charles Runting appear to have been in one of those.Oval beer bottle label. Multi coloured print featuring images of hops, a glass of ail, the Bendigo Coat of Arms and various font styles.Glover & Runting / Tonic Ale / Manufacturers / Chapel St / Bendigo / Vic Australiamaking a nation, city of bendigo commerce
