I got this paperweight recently. Very near mint condition, circa 1910. Shumate's was originally a single pharmacy in San Francisco. They soon began adding branch stores throughout SF. The paperweight lists only 4 locations, but Shumate's was soon up to 7 branches and eventually had over twenty stores in SF during the 1910s. I have two bottles with the "Shumate's Pharmacy Incorporated/Dispensing Chemists" embossing. Shumate's soon changed their embossed bottles to reflect "7 Stores".
