Title

L.M. Place, Drugs & Pat' Medicines

Description

Number 43 on the Burleigh map, drugstore appears to have been a short-lived venture that began sometime around 1891 and was dissolved by 1893, when Place sold his stock of patent medicines. This mention in the local newspaper dates to 1892.

The first love of L[ouis] M. Place (ca. 1859-1896) seems to have been horses--as of 1881, he was entered in the so-called "butcher's races" at the Avon Driving Park race track. In 1890 he was seriously injured by horses and suffered poor health in the years following. He married Clara Laidlaw in 1891.
