Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Garland E. Faulkner, South Boston VA (1875-1896) 1
  Faulkner & Lawson Drug Co, South Boston VA (1896-ca.1983) 1,2
Notes:
Dr. Garland Estes Faulkner (1854-1921)3 started a drug
store in South Boston VA in 1875, and in 1880 moved it to a brick building
on main street. 1
William Henry Lawson became a clerk at the store, and upon graduating
from the Baltimore College of Pharmacy, he became a pharmacist, and eventually
became a partner. In 1896, the name of the firm changed to "Faulkner & Lawson". 1
After Faulkner died, Lawson bought out his interest in the store, but did not
change the name. At some point the proprietor of the store was his daughter,
Jennie Phipps Lawson. Jennie was still the proprietor of the store
in 1959.1
I see newspaper mentions of the Faulkner & Lawson drug co as late as 19832,
so apparently it lasted over 100 years.
