Tolley's Pharmacy
Company Names, addresses, dates:
Tolley's Pharmacy, 11 West Washington St., Lexington VA (1957-ca.1963) 1,2
Notes:
Robert Adam 'Bob' Tolley (1906-1971)3 graduated from the
Richmond College of Pharmacy, and in 1929 became a pharmacist at the
Rices Drug Store
in Lexington VA4.
His circa 1940 WWII draft card listed him as working at the
McCrum Drug Co,
also in Lexington
Sometime around 1942, he took a job with
Wayland's Drug Store,
where he stayed for 10 years before going back to McCrum's. 5
In 1954, he went back to Rice's drug store.6
In 1956, he purchased
Allen's Drug Store
at 11 West Washington Street in Lexington VA.7
By 1957, he had changed the name to "Tolley's Pharmacy".1
The last newspaper advertisement I could find for Tolley's Pharmacy
was in 1963.2
Tolley passed away in 1971, so his drug store lasted until sometime
between 1963 and 1971.
