Abstract | Warsaw Drug Company, Inc. operated in Warsaw, N.C. for approximately 100 years before permanently closing in 2015. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the store opened circa 1907. Contains handwritten prescription slips for prescriptions filled at the Warsaw Drug Company, Inc., in Warsaw, N.C. Most of the prescriptions were written by Dr. William D. Crocker and Dr. James M. Williams. Only a few prescriptions are written by other physicians. Although the majority of the prescriptions are not dated, they are in a sequential order by a number presumably assigned by the pharmacist. Two of the prescriptions are dated 1913, suggesting that the entire sequence dates from around this time. |

Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.
