**** Southern Pharmaceutical Company of Nashville...bought out  the Massengill Bros. in early 1917. Business burned several months later.
****Embossed bottles from Southern Chem.Co./Bristol, Tennessee are pre-machine made, thus from a period of about 1900-10, approximately. ( Indicating there is some doubt this firm and the Southern Pharmaceutical Co. were one & the same).
