I actually dug both of these little paper label pill jars. They were both sealed when I dug them so that protected the labels. The left is Ellicott City Drug Company Dr Gassaway and the right is Patapsco Pharmacy Menj. Mellor Jr. The Gassaway dates to 1950 and the Patapsco dates to 1937.

Henry,


Nice collection you have there. I have a 1929 Drug Trade Book that lists all retail drug stores that were in business in the US in 1929. Two were listed in Ellicott City, Maryland in 1929. Thought you may want to see.

Thanks for the information Marc. I know Benj. Mellor owned the Patapsco Pharmacy, but I have not heard of the Johnson's Pharmacy

Great job so far on the locals Henry! I'm still working on Delta and there aren't that many of them.

2018-11-14 16.09.05.jpg2018-11-14 16.10.24.jpgHi My name is Mary and I am the Collections Manager for the Howard County Historical Society's Museum. We recently acquired an E.E. Malone Ellicott City bottle. I am attempting to date the bottle but it doesn't look like any that I can find online. I am hoping that one of you might be able to assist me. Thanks
