Taylor's Pharmacy


Company Names, addresses, dates: 1
  T. Ramsay Taylor, 100 s Park Ave, Norfolk VA (1907)
  Taylor's Pharmacy, 100 s Park Ave, Norfolk VA (1908-1912)
  Taylor's Pharmacy, 535 Park Ave, Norfolk VA (1913-1916)

Notes:
T. Ramsay Taylor (c.1873-1932)2 ran the Taylor's Pharmacy in Norfolk VA. The address "Corner Park & Brambleton Avenues" listed on some of the bottles below seems to be the same location as the address "100 S. Park Avenue".
Based on Norfolk City directories, Taylor's Pharmacy came to an end sometime between 1916 and 1919.
Taylor is listed as working at the Burrow-Martin & Co pharmacy in the 1927 Norfolk City directory.
Apparently that's about the time he moved to Fairfax Virginia, where he started a Taylor's Pharmacy in that city.

I couldn't find any connection between T. Ramsay Taylor and the Taylor Brothers who also had a pharmacy in Norfolk.

Taylor's Pharmacy Bottles:

square slugplate: GET IT FROM / TAYLOR'S / PHARMACY / PARK AND / BRAMBLETON AVES.
This does not have "Norfolk" embossed on it, but it has the same address as the Taylor's pharmacy label on a bottle below, so I have little doubt that it was from the Taylor's pharmacy in Norfolk VA.
