White Drug Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
  White Drug Co, Suffolk VA (1927-c.1933) 1,2

Notes:
The White Drug Co opened in 19271.
W. Marshall White was listed in the 1927 Suffolk city directory as the manager.
The 1930 Suffolk city directory listed J.M. Platt as the manager.

In March of 1933, there was a newspaper mention describing 345 East Washington Street as "the building formerly occupied by the White Drug Co"2, and I couldn't find any newspaper mentions of the company after that, so it appears the drugstore closed on or before that time.

Bottles:
white_01 This is a clear 5.2" unembossed machine-made bottle with a label that says:
label: Skeeter-Shu / White Drug Co / CUT RATE DRUGGISTS / 345 EAST WASHINGTON ST. SUFFOLK, VA.
From the name of this product, my guess is that this was mosquito repellent.
