Hi: Just wondering if anyone out there in collectingland has any bottles from the wholesale/retail druggist firm of Kirk, Geary & Co. of Sacramento, California? If so, I'd love to see pics and even acquire an example for my collection of Canadian drugstore bottles. Now, before I get a lecture on geography, I know that Sacramento is the capital of state in the federal union that is the independent nation known as the United States of America and that the USA is not part of Canada. However, the Geary -- William Geary, more specifically -- in the firm was a transplanted Canadian. I have bottles from the drugstores of three members of the Geary family, who operated pharmacies in, among other places, Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, my hometown: Theophilus Jones Geary, Richard Thomas Geary and George Geary Ingersoll (nephew to the first two). William Geary of Sacramento was a brother of Theophilus Jones and Richard Thomas. I think it'd be very cool to have bottles from all three brothers. Thanks, Glen
