  Venable's drug store, 219 Main Street, Front Royal VA, (1911-1940)

Notes:
Clarence Moreland Venable Sr. (1870-1950)² was the owner of Venable's drug store. He began his career working for the Schaarman & Co drugstore, and later with the Trout & Turner drugstore. ¹
The 1900 and 1920 US Census listed his occupation as a drug clerk.
He attended the Richmond Medical College, department of Pharmacy to learn to be a pharmacist. Then he opened the Venable's Drug Store in 1911, which he continued to operate until he sold the business (& building) in 1940. ¹

I beleive the building was at 219 Main Street, based on comparing the view in the postcard below to the current (2025) street view.
Venable may have lived in the same building as the drugstore. In 1921, there was a fire, and the newspaper said "the fire started while Mrs. Venable and her family were at dinner and was not discovered until the blaze had burned up through the floor into the kitchen". Apparently there was only $100 worth of damage, as the fire was put out fairly quickly. ³

In 1931, there was a newspaper announcement that Venable's was getting a new 100% electric soda fountain. I guess a soda fountain that was "electric" was a big deal at that time.⁴

	This is a 2.75" tall dose glass. It appears to be painted in white, and says: VENABLE'S / DRUG STORE / The PENSLAR Store / FRONT ROYAL, VA. / (gradations for 2 tablespoons / 8 teaspoons)
	This is a reproduction postcard, depicting the Venables Drug store on the left side. From looking at modern-day Front Royal, it appears to be the building at 219 Main Street. Based on the cars, I suspect the photo is from the 1920s. The postcard says: MAIN STREET LOOKING WEST, FRONT ROYAL, VA.
