The White Front Drug Store Ledger collection contains two ledgers. These ledgers are from a drug store located in Berlin, Maryland. Both ledgers contain dates, names, debits, credits, and pharmaceuticals sold from the White Front Drug Store. The first ledger has a hand drawn map of the Warren Tract.
The White Front Drug Store was purchased by Thomas Young Franklin (1860-1946) in 1883. The White Front Drug Store was located in Berlin, Maryland.
Thomas Young Franklin (1860-1946) attended the University of Virginia Medical Department and Jefferson Medical College, where he graduated in 1883. While owning and running the White Front Drug Store, he was also elected to the Maryland legislature in 1891. Thomas Young Franklin was then elected to serve as the Worcester County School Examiner, secretary, and treasurer in 1896.
