Lynchburg Drug Specialty Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Lynchburg Drug Specialty Co, Lynchburg VA (ca.1905-ca.1909) 1,2

Notes:
I could not find this drug company in any Lynchburg City Directories under "Drugstores".

But I did find a newspaper article that said the this company started in 1905 with the "Objects and Purposes" to "manufacture, buy and sell drugs, paints, oils, etc." It said that the president of the company was W. H. Keeton, the vice-president was R. E. Hawkins, and the secretary/treasurer was William M. Brydon. 1.

The last newspaper mention I could find for the company was in 1909, so I suspect it did not last beyond that time.2
