The history behind Smith Drug.
Back in 1894, in the small town of Erwin, Dr. Clark and Dr. Palmer opened a drug store which was named Pioneer Drug Store. However, the drug store was moved into the town of Cherokee along with what was left of the town of Erwin. Dr. Clark, the first physician in Cherokee and his partner, Dr. Palmer, sold the drug store to M.L. Klink in 1901.
Leonard Smith and his brother made the truck to Cherokee and decided to stay. They purchased Pioneer Drug Store in 1905, in which then the name was changed to Smith Drug Store. A few years later, in 1908, the drug store was relocated to its current location. During this time, the drug store served food in the balcony. Mrs. Smith was known for her soup and pies she sold at the drug store. However, later on, the eatery was replaced with a gift gallery.
Back in the day, the drug store was known for many things. The store was even the place to get piano lessons from Mr. Smith's sister-in-law, Wilda Albright. There were even a few recitals held in the building. A few years passed, and the store earned a new owner. Palmer and Gladys Eash bought the Smith Drug Store in 1945. During the holiday season, Mrs. Eash was known for her special gift wrapping that featured ribbon roses in the bow.
The Eash sisters, Joy Hawkins, and Peggy Page were always seen helping at the store. Goldie Tyer-Guffy, a long-time employee, kept the store busy with her delicious malts and fountain drinks.
