A list member requested a transcript of this business so I thought I would
add it to the list so it would be archived for future reference. A picture
from the book regarding this building is available by request to
. The list servers do not accept attachments or photos.



J. S. Burdsal & Co.'s old established Drug-house is situated at the
north-west corner of Main and Front Streets, occupying Nos. 1, 2. and 5 Main
Street, with a warehouse on Front Street, and is the oldest drug-house in
the city. They have been so long and well established that they have a
steady and increasing trade from Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, West
Virginia, Tennessee, and other Southern States; also Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and California, for their manufactured goods.
About one year ago they brought the entire stock and good will of
F. E. Suire & Co., one the largest drub-houses in the West, and have
consolidated the business of the two firms at the old stand. In addition to
this, they have become the owners and proprietors of the celebrated Roback's
Medicines, Wayne's Elixir, Crab Orchard Salts, Royal Nectar Gin, and other
popular articles.
In addition to the establishment on the corner of Main and Front,
they have a Chemical Laboratory on the corner of Eight and Broadway, under
the personal supervision of Professor E. S. Wayne, which is perfect and
complete in every department, the paraphernalia and machinery being of the
most improved and modern construction. The goods manufactured by this firm
are of standard quality, and are ordered by the trade with perfect
confidence in their purity.
They also manufacture Flavoring Extracts that have a splendid
reputation, and are equal to any in the market. Colognes, Handkerchief
Extracts, Lily White, and Perfumeries are put up in the most attractive
styles.
A very large line of chemicals in manufactured, including Bromide
of Potassium, Bromide of Ammonia, Salicylic Acid, Prec Carb. Iron, and all
the preparations of Iron. Blue Mass and all mercurial preparations in large
quantities; in fact, we many well may add, no drug-house East on West have
better facilities for supplying the trade with the varied goods required by
this branch of trade. This old drug-house stands on one of the oldest and
most interesting spots in the city. It is said that there has been a
drug-store situated at this corner since the establishment of Cincinnati.
The store, therefore, irrespective of its intrinsic excellent, possesses
features of considerable local historic lore. The publications of the
Pionier Verein are full of reminiscences of the earliest quarter of the
city.
