Boston Drug Co.


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  Boston Drug Co., South Boston VA (ca.1955 - ca.1979) 1,2

Notes:
The earliest reference I could find to this drug store was a 1955 newspaper ad, where it was one of 5 drug stores listed in South Boston1.

There was a newspaper mention in 1979 offering drug store fixtures for sale from the "Boston Drug Co Inc" at "526 Wilborn Street". So the store seems to have closed at or before that time.


Bottles:
