Danville Drug Company


Company Names, addresses, dates
  Danville Drug Company, 408 Main Street, Danville VA (c.1917) 1

Notes:
The Danville Drug Company charter was issued in 1913. Ront Blackwell was the company president, W.K. Anderson was the vice president, Harry W. Thomas was the secretary and treasurer.2
The only year I see it listed in the city directories is 1917. It's listed at 408 Main Street - in years prior to that, the P.R. Jones Sons pharmacy was at that address. I don't have access to any Danville directories between 1908 and 1917, so the drug store switched over to become the Danville Drug Company sometime in that time range (1908-1917). Likewise, based on the next Danville directory I have access to, it ended sometime in the range 1917-1921.1

Bottles:

danville_01 This is a clear, 4" bottle that is cracked and badly mishapen, presumably because it was melted at some point. It is embossed:
vertical in a ribbon: DANVILLE DRUG COMPANY
vertical below the ribbon: DANVILLE, VA.
