Pence & Sterling / Fitzhugh Brothers
Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Pence & Sterling, 2nd & East Main, Charlottesville VA
  Pence & Sterling, 122 East Main, Charlottesville VA
  Fitzhugh Brothers, 201 East Main St., Charlottesville VA
Notes:
The ebay seller of the Pence & Sterling bottle below said that Pence & Sterling was located on Main Street,
and was later replaced by Fitzhugh Brothers, which went out of business in the 1960s, but
I haven't been able to confirm that.
I did find an old photo of the Pence & Sterling building on the
Albemarle Charlottesville Historical Society web site.
It depicts the Pence & Sterling building at the corner of 2nd & East Main in 1930.
The address of 201 E. Main on the Fitzhugh Brothers bottles below is further evidence that they were
at the same location.
