Notes

Excerpt from donor letter reads as follows, " My Dad, Nathaniel Jacobson, opened his Drug Store in June of 1929. He sold the business 47 years later, as I recall it remained a viable concern for some years, maybe it still is. The order pad post dates zip codes, but not all numerical phone exchanges as you can see." Letter can be found in object file. See also 2002.6.2- keychain from Jacobson's Pharmacy
