Thanks, Brian,

Great photos. I do really like the logoed Mittelbach on the left.

Epic slickness, with a beautiful bounty of Boonville treasures, and stoneware to boot! Way to dig.

Ray Vaughn Pierce, MD was not only a physician, entrepreneur, businessman but also politician.
He was in the Federal Census for Buffalo from 1870 to 1900 By 1910 he and his wife Mary had moved (retired?) to Franklin. Notice in the picture above of the hopital he built, in the rear is "World's Pharmacy" In the 1910 census, he was listed as prop. of World's Dispensary.
