Bottling, one bottle at a time seems strange.

for being fed manually, that's a lot of machine just to wrap neck with foil and spin a label on.
With sugar [then] instead of corn syrup [now] I'll bet it tasted great though.

Is that a generator in the back seat?

This could also be a 1918 15-ton Couple-Gear gas-electric powered tractor-truck by the Couple-Gear Freight Wheel Company of Grand Rapids...

looks like it could be a electric train engine. or possibly a tractor of some sort.

The picture is labeled "Fageol factory workers. Oakland, California, 1918."
Googling Fageol is very interesting, the factory produced Peterbilt

For the Fageol pic, I was not able to find any other instances of the pic besides the one I found on social media. Usually I'll verify the pic or find a fullsize version by doing a Google Similar Image search, but even though this one came up with no results, it was too good to pass up. I did find lots of cool stuff at Fageol.com.
