[Retan 1957]Another drug store with a continuous history, but not location, is the Coles Drug Store at 2 South Main Street. In the seventies Ridgway and Cole had a drug store at approximately 17 N. Main Street. In 1874 they moved to the, at that time, new Bank Block, 6 E. Wellsboro Street, and continued in business until 1890 when they sold to Stevenson and Burnham, and in 1892 Burnham became sole owner. In 1902, at his death it was sold to Whitman, who sold to Passmore in 1905. In 1909 Percy Coles bought the business and in 1924 moved to S. Main Street.

Robert Strong took over from Percy Coles and operated until March 2012 when he sold to CVS.
