Company Names, addresses, dates1:
  Marion Everly, Mt. Jackson, VA (1906-1929)
  Everly's Drug Store, Mt. Jackson, VA (1930-1988+)

Notes:
Marion Everly Sr. (1869-1927)2 passed his pharmacist exam in 18913.
Everly was an apprentice at Schmitt's Drug Store in Woodstock, VA, and after completing his training, he became the manager of Schmitt's drug store that was in Moorefield WVA. When Schmitt died in 1906, Everly moved to Mt Jackson and purchased John Partlow's drugstore.1

Everly passed away in 1927, and S.G. Good of New Market VA managed the store while Everly's son, Marion Everly Jr. (1905-1992)4 was learning to be a pharmacist at the Medical College of Virginia. In 1930 Marion Jr. took over, and changed the name of the store to "Everly's Drug Store". 1

The store moved to a new location in 1946, and in May 1974 was sold to Mr. Kay Showalter.1

Based on the label on the bottle below, this drug store became part of the Rexall chain of drug stores at some point.
