Irwin Drug Co
Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Irwin Drug Co, 19 N. Braddock, Winchester VA
Notes:
William Irwin was listed in the 1930 US Census as a Pharmacist in Winchester.
I found the Irwin Drug Co in Winchester listed in Virginia drug store directories from
1927 and 1929. I could not find it in 1924 or 1935 directories, so the drugstore likely
started sometime between 1924 & 1927 and lasted until sometime between 1929 and 1935.
The bottles below look like they're newer than the 1920s/1930s - it's possible that
the drug company lasted longer than my research indicates. It's also possible that
someone slapped Irwin labels on some newer bottles.
