Notes:
In 1927, Ernest Robey
sold his Fairfax drugstore to T. Ramsay Taylor, of Norfolk1.
T. Ramsay Taylor (c.1873-1932)4 had a drugstore in Norfolk Virginia
that was also called
"Taylor's Pharmacy",
from about 1907 to about 19165.
He's listed in a 1927 Norfolk city directory as working at someone else's drug
store, so somewhere around that time he came to Fairfax and started the Fairfax
Taylor's pharmacy, in the building that used to be Earnest Robey's pharmacy.
Dr. Fred Mahlon Everly (1906-1968)6 was listed in the 1930
US Census as a pharmacist living in Alexandria.
In 1934, he took over the Taylor's pharmacy and it became known as Everly's
Pharmacy2.
Everly's advertisements are listed in newspapers until late in 1963, so it ended
some time after that3.
Advertisements indicate that Everly's pharmacy was part of the
Rexall chain of drug stores .

This is a REPRODUCTION postcard. The photo depicts Main Street in Fairfax VA circa 1930. The building on the left appears to have a sign that says "TAYLOR'S PHARMACY". (I can't read the sign on this postcard, but I found another copy of this same photo where I could read it) |
