M.H. McClintic Pharmacy


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   M.H. McClintic, Hot Springs VA

Notes:
 Moses Hamilton McClintic (1848-1929)1 was a merchant in Hot Springs, VA. The earliest newspaper mention I found with his name was an 1896 announcement that he was leaving "McClintic & Jones", but I don't know if that was a drugstore or some other type of business.2

There are other advertisements for McClintic's store in subsequent years, but the first ad I found that referred to his store as a "drug store" wasn't until 1904.3
The US Census listing for McClintic from 1900, 1910 and 1920 indicate he was a merchant as well as a farm owner.

The last ad I found that mentioned McClintic's store was from 19254. He passed away in 1929 at age 83.5
