Bradford & Watts, Wholesale and Retail Druggists at the Old Hoyt Stand
This is the oldest drug house in the city (Rome) dating back many years before the war. The present satisfactory partnership was formed in March 1887. The store is spacious, 30 x 132 feet, and is well stocked with drugs and chemicals, fancy and toilet articles and patent medicines, which gives to the premises an inviting appearance. They get the latest novelties, and carry besides staple lines, Longman & Martinez’ prepared paints, Buist’s garden seeds, clover and grass seeds, oils, etc. They do a large family trade, and sell the merchants and physicians of North Georgia and Alabama. They put up a nice family medicine chest, “Each Mother Her Own Doctor”. Dr. Wm. Bradford, the senior of the firm is an Alabamian, graduate of the Medical College of that state; he practiced in Cedartown many years, and later also had a drug store there. Mr. Ben Watts is a Georgian from Cave Spring. These gentlemen give best attention to callers, and sustain the long-established reputation of their institution.
