For Rent
WHITE G. WINES.
Drugs and Medicines.

This is the Oldest established drug
store in Richmond, and probably the
Oldest in Madison county. The busl-
ness was originally begun by John Mil
Ter. who, with his wife, conducted
combined grocery and drug business
on East Main street, nearly forty
years ago. This business was pur-
chased by White & Brooks in 1877, and
in 1873 removed to the corner store
now occupied by White & Wines at
West Main and Second streets, and
it has been drug store ever since.
w. G. White is the oldest druggist
in Richmond, he having started in bus
mess here in 1875, under the firm
name of Ballard, Francis & White,
later it was w. G. White, who thirteen
years ago sold out and later moved to
Louisville, and entered the wholesale
drug business in that city. That busi-
ness is still operated under the firm
name of w. G. White & Co. Qncorpo-
rated) Manufacturing Chemists. Three
years ago, w. G.. White returned to
Richmond-mainly on account of his
wife's health-and became interested
with E. c. Wines, still, however, retain
ing his interest in the wholesale house
in Louisville. He is a graduate pharma-
cist with the degree of Phi. ID.
E. c. Wines, the other member of
the firm of White & Wines, has been
associated with the drug trade in
Richmond for the past twenty-eight
years, and is one of the Oldest pre-
scription druggists in the city. He
was sole owner of this drug store for
some years, it later becoming Wines &
Creekmore. Three years ago the firm
was changed to its present style of
White & Wines. E. c. Wines is per-
sonally interested in several leading
industries of Richmond.
The stock of goods carried by this
enterprising firm is one of the largest
and most complete in Richmond.
Pure drugs, druggists sundries and
druggist supplies compose the bulk
of their stock They also carry a fine
line of perfumes, toilet articles, soaps,
stationery, cigars and tobacco, a fine
line of postcards, etc, and particular
attention is given to accurately COM
pounding physicians prescriptions. A
fine soda fountain is one of the attrac-
lions of this old established store, and
from it is served delicious soda water,
with fresh fruit syrups and pure ice
cream, as well as phosphates, and
other refreshing and palatable drinks.
With two such thorough business
men and excellent gentlemen as w. G.
White and f. G. Wines at the helm of
an enterprise it bids fair to maintain
its present standing among the leading
drug stores of Richmond and Madison
county.
