It features a great group of mostly poison labels with Skull \u0026amp; Crossbones including Sulphuric Acid (2.7” x 1.5”), Calomel (2.5” x 1.4”), Carbolic Acid (2.75” x 1.3”), Tinct. Iodine (2.6” x 1.65”), Nitric Acid (2.6” x 1.5”), and Aromatic Cascara (2.7” x 1.2”). Based on the telephone number of 3375, we think these labels date to the 1920s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Newton Drug Company opened for business in 1911, at 676 Jackson Street in Seattle, Washington. The proprietor of the drug store was Joe K. Imai. He operated this successful drug store for 30 years, when the start of World War II, in December of 1941, brought a tragic end to the store. Japanese American citizens who lived on the West Coast were forced by our government to move to \"relocation camps\" in other areas of the country. The Imai family was given a short time to sell their stock, and the store was closed. After the war, the Imai family returned to Seattle but did not reenter the drug store business. I found a photo of the drugstore taken in 1915 with five people in the doorway. It came from the University of Washington Libraries, Wing Luke Asian Museum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eWE GUARANTEE ALL LABELS TO BE AUTHENTIC AND AS DESCRIBED!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Bargains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51602583879978,"sku":"VLC1012","price":4.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4391\/5562\/files\/423a661d-il_fullxfull.407454333_pen1.jpg?v=1780001757"},{"product_id":"phelps-drug-store-labels-martinsville-indiana","title":"Phelps Drug Store Labels, Martinsville, Indiana","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of five drug labels measure 2.25” x 1.3” each and feature a great logo and design for this Rexall drugstore. We think the labels date to the 1920s, just look at the phone number, 825. The drugstore was originally owned by their father, but operated from 1915 to 1993 under the direction of brothers Robert and Emmett Phelps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the 1950s and early 1960s, Phelps’s soda fountain and counter was a favorite local gathering place for students after school, as well as early morning basketball fans. Included in the collection is Epsom Salt which softens the skin, soothes aches, draws toxins from the body, sedates the nervous system, relaxes the muscles, and provides relief from soreness and arthritic pain. Camphorated Oil which was used for centuries by herbalists and folk medicine practitioners to treat pain and inflammations. Copperas used in the manufacture of inks, wool dyeing, photographic developer, and lawn conditioner. Castor Oil most known for its use as a laxative, but also used to lubricate aircraft and wagon wheels, in lipsticks and shampoos, in making soaps and plastics, and for food additives and flavorings. And finally, Sol. of Formaldehyde, a poison used in tanning, preserving, embalming and as an insecticide for plants. Its largest application today, however, is in the production of polymeric materials, like plastic Bakelite. The drugstore was located in Martinsville, Indiana, which has an interesting history. In 1899 Eugene Shireman converted his swamp land into fisheries and started Grassyfork Fisheries which led the town to be dubbed the “Goldfish Capital of the World.” Martinsville also contained some famous mineral water spas which attracted so many visitors that the town still retains two nicknames from those days, “City of Mineral Water” and “The Artesian City.” Quite a story for a town of less than 12,000 people.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eWE GUARANTEE ALL LABELS TO BE AUTHENTIC AND AS DESCRIBED! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Bargains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51602583847210,"sku":"VLC1011","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4391\/5562\/files\/1c06c61a-il_fullxfull.257050465.jpg?v=1780001758"},{"product_id":"bellemore-pharmacy-label-collection-detroit-michigan","title":"Bellemore Pharmacy Label Collection - Detroit, Michigan","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of vintage pharmacy labels are from Detroit, Michigan.

The Essence Wintergreen label has the proprietor as A.G. Blichfeldt, the other five have the proprietor as W.A. Spateolts. This small mystery can be answered by an ad we found in the State College News on April 20, 1928. The ad was for A.G. Blichfeldt, Ph.G., Cut-Priced Druggist, located at 373 Madison Avenue at the corner of Dove. It indicated “Prescriptions A Specialty” and had the main telephone number as 1279.

The Broadway-Fillmore neighborhood of Buffalo had a heavy concentration of Polish immigrants who were arriving in America to escape a homeland ruled by Prussia, Austria, and Russia. They were looking for opportunities they couldn’t find in Poland. Although it started with a section built in 1900, Lipowicz Wholesale Grocery hired Wladyslaw H. Zawadzki, a famous architect of the day, to make a substantial multistory addition to the building in 1912. The business no longer exists, but the building survives as a landmark in Buffalo. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eWE GUARANTEE ALL LABELS TO BE AUTHENTIC AND AS DESCRIBED!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Bargains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51602585583914,"sku":"ULB1136","price":2.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4391\/5562\/files\/a3b8baf7-il_fullxfull.221415980.jpg?v=1780001759"},{"product_id":"ords-pharmacy-label-collection-pennsylvania","title":"Ords Pharmacy label Collection - Pennsylvania","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis huge collection of pharmacy labels comes from Ord's Pharmacy which was located at 164 South Main Street, Slippery Rock.
