Walter's Drug Store
Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Walter's Drug Store, 20 E. Beverly Street, Staunton VA (c.1929-1934+) 1
Notes:
Jerome Morrison Walter (1880-1940)2 was listed in the 1900 Census as a 19-year old
drugstore clerk, living in Petersburg VA. The 1910 census showed he had moved in with his parents
in Staunton, listed as a druggist. He apparently did well as a druggist because by 1929 he owned his own
drug store.
I don't have access to any Staunton city directories past 1934, so I don't know how long his drug store
lasted, but I suspect it lasted until he died in 1940.
Bottles:
This is a clear 5.75" machine-made screw-top un-embossed bottle with a partial label: label: WALTER'S DRUG STORE / PRESCRIPTION DRUGGISTS / 20 EAST BEVERLY STREET / STAUNTON, VA. |
