Local Pharm

Dug this at the beginning of the summer and have wondered about it since. The pharmacy's location is now a coffee shop that got closed down. It was a pharmacy up until the 1990s when it was rennovated. Any information on the company? Measures about 3" tall

This may help?
Harry Guest is the twin brother of Fannie, the wife of John \ Fish, and
his other brothers and sisters are: Caleb C. and Anna, who have passed
awav; Nicholas J.: Joseph W.; Owen L.; and Martha, the wife of Atley
Shute. They were all reared upon a farm and were early taught to practice
uprightness and fairness toward their fellow men, and to observe those prin-
ciples of conduct which are to be foimd in the good citizen.

Having completed his public-school education at Swedesboro. Harry
Guest began farming in earnest, remaining there engaged until 1888. when
he accepted a position with C. C. Hughes, druggist, at the corner of Race and
Eighth streets, Philadelphia. Later he entered the employ of Dr. Goodwin,
whose place of business was at the corner of Clinton and Fifth streets, in the
same city, and there he continued to perfect himself as a pharmacist. At
length he was graduated in the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy, and made
a creditable showing before the Pennsylvania and New Jersey state examin-
ing boards. In 1890 he came to Woodstown, where he was first employed
bv F. P. Harris, the druggist, who sold out about a year later to Dr. Frost.
This store, well known as the East Avenue Pharmacy, passed into the hands

E. F. Frost has bought out F'. P. Harris, Woodstown.

Thanks for the info Eric, that sure does help. I scoured Google books for quite a few hours but didn't turn up what you did. Thanks for that. So I'm guessing this one dates from around 1880 to 1891? I'll have to look in the Historical Society for some information and see if I can find something that has to do with it.

Here's where the pharmacy used to be I think. There's a gas station next to it so unless it was levelled to make room for it, this may have been the store. It was known as "Woodstown Pharmacy" up until the 1990s before it closed down and was turned into a coffee shop that closed down last year
