Q. Searching for information on a medicine bottle we found in our crawl space. Druggist Dr Printz in Ada, Ohio. Thinking 1940-1950 based off the bottle markings. Owens Illinois duraglas.
A. Dr. Printz was a physician in Ada. He delivered me in 1941 at home. I know Dr. Printz was in Ada in 1941 & 1942. He may have been in Ada in the 1930's. In 1943 Dr Elliott apparently took his place. Physicians dispensed medicine from their office in the 1940's and 1950's in bottles that looked like that. Pills were dispensed in paper packets. Likely no druggist was involved.
