A glass embossed COMPLIMENTS / OF / EASTMAN / DRUG STORE caught my interest because I
thought that it might be from Eastman, GA, a small town in middle of our state. However, a
pharmacy by that name was not mentioned in The Georgia State Gazetteer and Business
Directory of 1896, nor was it in a 1927 directory either. A google search found only a few
possibilities. One of the more interesting entries stated "Eastman Drug Store is the oldest
pharmacy in Idaho. The history section of the store will feature stories and pictures of the old
Oregon Trail. It is conveniently located in Soda Springs, Idaho." Roadsidetourist.com says
"Eastman Drug - Soda Springs - This is the site of the oldest drug store in Idaho, complete with
an old fashioned soda fountain." I could find nowhere that states when exactly this drug store
was first established. Could it be that this glass is from ID? We may never know for sure, unless
a local collector could confirm this.
