E.L.R. Dunn


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  E.L.R. Dunn, Guineys VA

Notes:
According to wikipedia, Guinea Virginia used to be called "Guiney's", as it was named after the 'Guineys' family of Caroline County Virginia.
Eldorus L.R. Dunn (b.1854, d.1909) ran a store and was postmaster of Guinea, in Caroline County VA. He also served as chairman of the Republican Party in Caroline County1.
I don't have any bottles from E.L.R. Dunn, but I have a card and several labels, depicted below. One of the labels lists Dunn as a bookseller & stationer - I don't know if that indicates a side business or a change in businesses.

The labels below include:
alcohol, aloes, alum, aqua ammonia, balsam copiaba, bay rum, black pepper, black ink, blue mass, bromide potassium, calomel, carbolic acid, carmine ink, castor oil, choroform, chloroform liniment, cough syrup, ess. lemon, ess. peppermint, laudanum, machine oil, mur. tinct. iron, paregoric, poison!, saltpetre, spts. turpentine, sweet oil, tinct., syrup ipecac, syrup squills, and tinct. iodine - poison!.
