The Alderman Drug Co'. and Metropolitan Pharmacy Stamps

Four colour illustrated stamps; three advertising 'The Alderman Drug Co.', with two featuring the wording 'Kodak Agency' and one stamp advertising the Metropolitan Pharmacy, Seattle, Washington. The first reads 'Where Quality Counts', the second, 'In Business For Your Health', the third, 'Prescriptions Accurately Filled' and lastly, another 'Where Quality Counts'. All are unused. The Alderman Drug Company, based in Hartford, Connecticut, was a pharmaceutical business that, like many pharmacies, sold and processed photographic film. These stamps have two letters and a business card attached which outline the donation of "some very interesting stamps", from a Mr. Victor B. Roberts, former credit manager of Ilford Limited to Kodak Museum curator Brian Coe in June 1978, via R.F. Tredwen in Kodak's public relations department.
