Hello all this is my first post on your site,hope I'm in the right place for this. Anyways, I have been digging in some material that came from a late 1800s dump in key west. I was hoping someone here might know about bottles found down in south Florida. One of the bottles I found says A.L.Pendleton pharmacist key west fla. and has a little pic on the side that says pure drugs.

Hey Jay,

Welcome, and thanks for telling us of your dug Pendleton. Pictures go a long way in helping us tell you more, so please post some.

"Dr. A.L. Pendleton was born in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, in 1855. He received his early schooling in the Elizabeth City Academy, and later was sent to Hartford, Conn. where he graduated.

Dr. Pendleton, after quitting school, entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, Md., where he studied medicine for a couple of years, when he entered the Jefferson Medical College of Philadelphia, where he graduated with high honor on March 29th, 1884.

After leaving College Dr. Pendleton settled in Cornyock, N.C., where he practised his profession for about one year, when he determined to join his brother, Hon. C.B. Pendleton, in Key West, Fla., arrived here about the middle of 1885: and in September of the same year he began the drug business on the corner of Elizabeth and Eaton streets, where his present large and handsome drug store is now situated, and where he has since remained, each year increasing his trade and adding largely to his stock.

Dr. A.L. Pendleton has succeeded in winning the confidence and respect, both as a citizen and physician, of every one who knows him, and stands at the head of his profession in Key West." From page 31, The Daily Equator-Democrat, March 1889.

Sorry but I'm not any good on a computer. I wish I could post up some pics cause I have found around 300 bottles total. The people that I dig with have found just as many I'm sure. Most are not hard to find on the Internet but I can't find some of them. Thanks for the help by the way.

Hey Jay,

You've leaped the photo hurdle in one bound. Well done.

Is the Pendleton a coming attraction? Who are the above guys?

I wanted to get pics up so bad that I asked my buddy to help, so he pulls out his iPhone and gets the above pic loaded up like nothing. So I take a bunch of pictures with an iPad and take it to him to show me how to get them posted and we could not figure it out. I'm bummed cause I think I got some good pics. Guess I need to get an iPhone.
