Tracing the Origins of a 1921 Photo of a Truck Loaded with 10,000 Bottles of Whistle Orange Soda

Washington, D.C., 1921. "Whistle car." A truck filled with Whistle, the "beverage wrapped in bottles." National Photo Company glass negative.
We dug this photo up on Shorpy and it shows a truck loaded down with 10,000 bottles of Whistle orange soda. We're trying to make out the building numbers behind it, but no luck. Can you help us trace the origins of this 1921 photo?
