Company Names, addresses, dates1:

  Gulick's Pharmacy, 3401 Washington Ave, Newport News, VA (1908-ca.1927)

Notes:
James Wharton Gulick (1880-1946)2 had a drugstore in Newport News. The address is sometimes listed as "3401 Washington Ave", and sometimes as "34th Street and Washington Ave", but both addresses appear to refer the same location. 1

Gulick was listed as a clerk in Hangar's drug store in the 1903 and 1904 Newport News city directories. In the 1906 and 1907 directories, he's listed as a partner in the "Hangar & Gulick drugstore" at the same address, and starting in the 1908 directory he's listed as the sole owner of "Gulick's Pharmacy". 1

The last year I see the Gulick's Pharmacy listed in the city directories is 1927. Starting in 1929, Gulick is listed as a pharmacist, working in various Newport News drug stores, including Day's Pharmacy, North End Pharmacy, and Burcher's Pharmacy.
