Chapman was also the manager of the Riverside Cotton Mills, and he seemed more dedicated to that businesss then the drugstore business, as he was no longer listed as a druggist in the 1908 City directory. In 1908, John H. Hawkins as the new owner of the drugstore at 636 Main Street, and the drugstore at 334 Main was renamed the Riverside Pharmacy.
