This bottle is made of wood. The top presses in like a cork.
It is 1.5" tall, with a label that says: label: CALOMEL / JOHNSON & HILLEBRAND / Druggists, / 500 E. Main St., Charlottesville, Va. |
Johnson & Hillebrand / Johnson & Price
Company Names, addresses, dates:
Johnson & Hillebrand, 500 E. Main Street, Charlottesville VA (ca.1890s) 1
Johnson & Price, 500 E. Main Street, Charlottesville VA (1902-1912) 2
Notes:
Edward Standfield Johnson (1868-1910)3
teamed up with
Harry T. Hillebrand (18??-1912)4 sometime in circa the 1890s to form the
Johnson & Hillebrand drug store, but apparently in 1899, Harry left Charlottesville and went to
Puerto Rico, leaving the drug store (and his wife) behind1.
By 1902, Johnson had teamed up with a new partner,
Cyrus S. Price (18??-1903)5.
Unfortunately Mr. Price passed away in 1903, although the drug store continued to be called
Johnson & Price until it closed down sometime on or after 1912.
By 1914, the store had become the
Timberlake Drug Store.
An interesting side note:
There are Vampire Killing Kits featured on the
Ripleys Beleive-it-or-not web site.
Apparently in the 19th century people would buy kits to protect themselves from Vampires.
In one of the kits depicted on that web site there is an item wrapped in paper that says
"Johnson & Hillebrand druggists" and "500 E Main St. Charlottesville, VA".
The paper appears to say "Sulfate Of xxxxx", but I can't quite make out that 3rd word.
