White's Drug Store
Company Names, addresses, dates1:
White's Drug Store, 2110 Jefferson Avenue, Newport News, VA (1913-1919)
White's Drug Store, 2106 Jefferson Avenue, Newport News, VA (1920-ca.1960)
White's Pharmacy, 335 Warwick Rd, Newport News, VA (1942-1952,ca.1960)
Notes:
Crowder White (1888-1949)2
became a registered pharmacist in 1910.3
He started the White's Drug Store in Newport News about 1913.1
His son,
Melvin Crowder White (1918-2008)4,
worked at the store, and took over the store after his father passed away. 1
A drugstore named "Whites Pharmacy", at 335 Warwick Rd, started in 1942,
but I could not find any evidence whether or not this store was related
in any way to the "White's Drug Store". I did see that in 1955,
the "White's Pharmacy" president was named "William H. Neale". 1
I don't have access to any Newport News directories after 1960, so I don't
know exactly when the store closed.
