The Silverwood Springs, 1911-1914

  • Corporate body

The Silverwood Springs was a spring water bottling company that operated near Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in the early 1900's. William Alexander "Billy" Silverwood, a livestock dealer, and his nephew, Clarence Routley, began bottling the spring water found on Silverwood's farm in 1911. The product sold well in Saskatoon and vicinity due to the lack of cleaning drinking water at the time.

In November, 1912, Robert E. Glass, a Chicago businessman, purchased Silverwood's farm with the intention of establishing a brewery and expanding the spring water operation. Glass' company, the Silver Springs Brewing Company, Ltd, was incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act on January 15, 1913. The company's mandate was "to carry on the business of brewers and maltsters" and "to take over and purchase as a going concern the business in mineral and aerated waters, and bottling works now carried on by W.A. Silverwood". Glass' plans for the bottling works were part of his larger plan of establishing an industrial area called Factoria.

A brewery was never constructed and Glass' company was dissolved in February, 1914. The spring water bottling company ceased operation due to the development of a water purification system in Saskatoon and the contamination of the water supply from run-off from Silverwood's stock barn, located near the springs.
