Hot Springs Pharmacy


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Hot Springs Pharmacy, Hot Springs VA

Notes:
 The earliest newspaper reference I could find to the Hot Springs Pharmacy was from 19251.
It said that Charles W. Johnston (1891-1941)2 was the manager.

Newspaper mentions of that pharmacy continue up to and beyond the year 2000. Jesse Roland Ward was listed as a co-owner for 4 years in the 1970s3

I just did a google search (on 6-Jul-2024) and it looks like it's still in business, at 2839 Main Street in Hot Springs Va.
