Central Drug Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Central Drug Co, Harrisonburg VA

Notes:
 The Central Drug Co succeeded the Co-operative Drug Co in 19231.

I'm not sure how long it lasted. I saw a newspaper ad for the store in 19302.
I also saw that a lease was granted to the company by Peoples Services Drug Store in 19343.

Whit W. Rolston was listed as the secretary of the Central Drug Co in 1924.4
He shows up in the 1930 US Census as a pharmacist in Harrisonburg.
