J.R. or Jno Carmichael (same person), was a business partner of my great-grandfather,
Emmett JOHNSTON in Pittsburgh from 1912 - 1916 under the company name "The
Johnston-Carmichael Co."
From research, I've discovered they were blenders, bottlers and
distributors of Pure Rye Wiskey. They bottled under the names: "Old John
Henry", "Little John Henry", "Old Scuppernong" and
"Johnstons pure rye". The company carried a trademark for their Rye/wiskey
blends and bottling in 1879.
I was able to locate a passport application for Emmett for he and his wife and son. The
year was 1920, and he, along with wife and son, were going to Cuba. J.R./Jno Carmichael
was the witness.
I'm looking for family of either Carmichael of Johnston who might have more
information than I do.
