Rhodes Drug Co


Company Names, addresses, dates:
   Rhodes Drug Co, Boscawen at Braddock, Winchester VA (ca.1937-ca.1964) 1,2

Notes:
 Herbert Paul Rhodes (1906-1984)3 was listed as a druggist living in Winchester in the 1940 US Census, so presumably he was the proprietor of this drug store.

His marraige announcement in 1937 said that he was a graduate of the Medical college of Virginia, and that he was currently in business in Winchester, so he likely started his drug store on-or-before 19371. I see mentions of the Rhodes Drug Co in newspapers as late as 19642, so I presume the drugstore lasted until on-or-after that year.

Bottles:

rhodes_01 This is a clear, 9" bottle with a label:

rhodes_03 This is a label that says:

Since this phone number is 4-digits and the one on the label above is 3-digits, I assume this label is newer than the one above.
