Notes:
The earliest reference I could find to this drugstore was a mention in a newspaper
ad from 1920. The address at that time was 337 Warwick Road in Hilton Village.1
Wikipedia says that Hilton Village is a neighborhood in Newport News, VA that was built
between 1918-1921 to house ship building workers.
The earilest mention to an owner or proprietor I could find was from 1928, when
Rozier Leavitt Francis (1876-1942)2 was the proprietor.3
His death certificate said he was the owner of a drug store at his time of death,
so I presume he owned this drug store up until he died in 1942.2
I don't know who took over the store when Rozier passed away, but in 1974,
Clarence G. Joyce (ca.1893-1974) became a co-owner of the store.4
The last reference I could find to the store was a "pharmacist wanted" ad in a
newspaper from 1962, so the drug store lasted until at least that year.5
The address of the store in that ad was 10301 Warwick Blvd in Newport News,
whereas the address on the bottle below is 301 Warwick Road, Hilton Village.
It appears Hilton Village got assimilated into Newport News, and that Warwick Road
became Warwick Blvd and the addresses got re-numbered.
