Western Embossed Spices

Left to right G. Venard, H.C. Hudson & Co, and CHS Bernard
Notice that the Venard has what appears to  a stylized curved R and the Benard a straight leg R. Kind of makes you wonder which bottle was produced first. If anyone out there has any of these embossed spices with paper labels it might shed some light on the timeline of these bottles. 
Thanks to Bruce Silva of the Western Whiskey Gazette for the picture of his western embossed spices. - rs -

Rick;
First year that any of the three appear in print. Hudson did not advertise. Bernard and Venard did. See following from S. F. Directory.
