Rough condition. Frank J. Schneider got his start in Nevada in 1860 when he built a drug store in Virginia City, the first in VC. He hired AM Cole as a clerk and sold his VC business to him, the start of Cole's long run as a Comstock druggist. Schneider left Virginia City in 1867 and became what FH calls a "tramp druggist," moving from mining camp to mining camp. He opened a drug store in Elko in 1870, but left for the excitement at Eureka. His first drug business there was Schneider & Co. which became the Schneider Drug Store in the mid-1870s. When Schneider died in 1893, his wife took over the business. For more on Schneider, please see Volume Two of the Nevada Bottle Book.
