Bottles:

hopkins_01 This is an amber, 6" tall bottle embossed:

Other Items:
hopkins_02 This is a 1902, 8.5 x 5.5 inch receipt from the Dr. H.C. Hopkins drug store in Bedford City, VA. I'm making the assumption that Dr. H.C. Hopkins is the same guy who was part of the Hopkins & St. Clair drug store in the same city. Printed on the receipt is:
printed on top of receipt: Prompt Payment Insures Good Credit / STATEMENT / Bedford City, VA., (u) Apr 1 1905 / Mr Floyd Gray / Bought of Dr. H.C. HOPKINS / Druggist and Apothecary, / BRIDGE STREET/ ...
 The purchased items on the receipt include:
Cigars & Tobacco, Medicine for Cold, Soap, Dig. Pills, Carb. Acid, Paper, Medicine for Throat.

1 The address for the Hopkins & St Clair drug store was printed on a box that contained a bottle of their cough syrup, which I saw in a photo on facebook
