Notes:
The following information is from rdricketts blog1:
An advertisement stated that Jacob's pharmacy was established in 1848.
A 1914 Newspaper clipping showed a soda fountain photo of Jacob's Drug Store, and said it was on Main St. where Kresge's 5 and 10 cent store was later located.
In 1902, A.W. Jacob was located at 425 Main Street, next to the Masonic Temple.
The 1920s receipt below has the name "J. D. PRUITT", so that may have been the proprietor of the store in the 1920s.
