Morgan's Drug Store


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Morgan's Drug Store, Gloucester VA (1925-ca.1989)2

Notes:
Loran Vincent Morgan (1901-1999)1, a native of Portsmouth VA, moved to Gloucester County in 1922, and went to work for H.A. Wolfe at the Gloucester Pharmacy. In 1925, he bought that business, and founded Morgan's Drug Store, which he operated until he retired in 1989.2

Apparently this pharmacy was part of the the Rexall chain of drug stores .

gloucester_02 This postcard depicting the Gloucester business section has a 1941 cancel on the back.
On the far left is a Rexall Drug store - I suspect that's the Morgan's drug store, as I found no evidence there was another Rexall store in Gloucester at that time.
