Two Bodie Druggist Documents. Van Voorhies, Apothecaries Hall billhead, 1882. Rare and colorful, printed in blue by Russ Print, SF. Mint, Signed by Van Voorhies. Van Voorhies was in direct competition with A. B. Stewart and Kuhlman Bros in 1882 when this sheet was used. The second piece is a calling card for A.B. Stewart as a member of the Bodie Commandery #15 with the colorful vignette at left printed in Seattle, Washington territory where Stewart moved after Bodie. This card shows signs of being adhered to a scrap book on the reverse, but is one of the great rarities and an important piece because of Stewart’s importance as a druggist on the West Coast. See the story on Stewart elsewhere within this Bodie section.
