Miller & Rhoads


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Miller & Rhoads, Richmond VA

Notes:
Miller & Rhoades is listed in the Richmond bottle book1 as "perfume" in the "Household" section, not in the "Druggists" section. So the bottles below may not be drugstore bottles.
(more information will be added when I get around to researching this company)

Bottles:

miller_01 These are clear bottles; left is 3.5" tall and right is 2.8". They are both embossed:
vertical: Miller & Rhoads / INC / RICHMOND VA
base: C L G CO
Here's the weird part: the "C L G CO" embossed on the base of the taller of the 2 bottles is backwards. miller_04
miller_02 Clear 2.8" bottle, similar to the above bottles, but with a label.
vertical embossing: Miller & Rhoads / INC / RICHMOND VA
label: Miller & Rhoads
base embossing: C L G CO



Other items:
