This bottle was in a large collection I bought but I can’t figure out where Jas A WALKUP was based out of. I’m trying to determine what town he was a pharmacist in.
"James A. Walkup, M'OO, a graduate
in pharmacy, died February 4 in
San Antonio, Texas, at the age of
ninety-four. The San Antonio
Express says that when he retired
at age eighty-nine he was the oldest
practicing pharmacist in the United
States, and received a congratulatory
letter from President Johnson.
Mr. Walkup told a reporter that
the only time he missed from work
in seventy years was for fishing and
vacations. "
He's mentioned as working for the Meadowbrook Drug Company in Fort Worth in an alumni newsletter from 1951. I haven't been able to find anything from him before that though, so not sure where he would have been when this bottle was used.
