Spas of Carlsbad California & Karlsbad Czech Republic

Spas of Carlsbad California & Karlsbad Czech Republic go hand and hand.  When John Frazier, one of Carlsbad’s founding fathers, first tapped a mineral spring in 1882 he had no idea it would lead to this. But this former sea captain knew what the public wanted.

His slogan? “The pause that refreshes.” Sensing an opportunity, savvy businesspeople (and marketing gurus) Gerhard Schutte, Samuel Church Smith, D.D. Wadsworth and Henry Nelson soon formed a partnership named the Carlsbad Land and Mineral Water Company to market the water. With a snappy new slogan, “Alight, drink and be happy” the…
