Answer
The Soda Dispenser a.k.a Soda Fountain began in Europe but achieved its greatest success in the United States. Benjamin Silliman, a Yale chemistry professor, was among the first to introduce soda water to America. In 1806 Silliman purchased a Nooth apparatus and began selling mineral waters in New Haven, Connecticut. Sales were brisk, so he built a bigger apparatus, opened a pump room, and took in three partners. This partnership opened soda fountains in New York City and Baltimore, Maryland. At roughly the same time, other businessmen opened fountains in NYC and Philadelphia. Although Silliman's business eventually failed, he played an important role in popularizing soda water.

In 1832 John Matthews of NYC and John Lippincott of Philadelphia began manufacturing soda fountains. Both added innovations that improved soda-fountain equipment, and the industry expanded as retail outlets installed newer, better fountains. Other pioneering manufacturers were Alvin Puffer, Andrew Morse, Gustavus Dows, and James Tufts. In 1891 the four largest manufacturers -- Tufts, Puffer, Lippincott, and Matthews -- formed the American Soda Fountain Company, which was a trust designed to monopolize the industry. The four manufacturers continued to produce and market fountains under their company names. The trust controlled prices and forced some smaller manufacturers out of business.

Before mechanical refrigeration, soda fountains used natural ice to cool drinks and ice cream. Ice harvesters cut frozen lakes and ponds into large blocks of ice in the winter and stored the blocks for use in the summer. In the early 20th century, new companies entered the soda fountain business, marketing "ice less" fountains that used brine (cold salty water).
