This is a photo (taken 2010) of the current McKim & Huffman pharmacy in downtown Luray.
The sign says "Since 1868". [The pharmacy has since closed down]

This postcard does not have a postmark date, but based on the cars I'd guess it's from
the 1940s or 1950s. To the right of the Luray Museum (which is no longer there) is
the McKim drugstore. Compare it to the photo below.

This photo was takein in 2010. It's roughly the same view as the postcard above,
except for the obvious difference that the Luray Museum is no longer there, and
was replaced by the drugstore parking lot. I tried to draw in where the Museum was in red.

This is a 5.75" long measuring spoon, with 1 tsp on one side and 1/2 tsp on the other. In the middle, says
in raised letters painted green:

This is a label that came off of a drugstore bottle. From what I can make out, it says:
