    Found some fun trivia on C.H. Ward Druggist.
    According to The Coffeyville Daily Journal 11 September 1901-
    “ in the case of the city of Cherryvale against C.H. Ward, Cherryvale’s leading druggist. On July 12, Ward was tried in police court there on the charge of having sold intoxicating liquors in violation of the prohibition ordinance. He was convicted and fined $133.75 and sentenced to thirty days in the Cherryvale city jail.”
    I am starting to understand why he was the leading druggist!😂

    Because of your channel I decided to google C.H. Ward, Cherryvale, Kansas. Turns out he was jailed in 1901 for selling 'intoxicating liquors' in violation of the prohibition ordinance. Hahaha. A leading druggist's fall from grace. It cost him over $4000 in todays money and 30 days in jail.

    After watching one or two full episodes of your channel, I noticed I was learning bottle types and other features. I learned terms relating to the separation layers and historical references relating to things found in those layers.
    Your side graphics are excellent (I stop the vid and read them sometimes) and you hold your excavations up so we can see what they look like too.
    I love your channel! Please keep up the good work!

    Every time you dig up a Listerine bottle, I get shivers down my spine, simply because after I brushed my teeth at night, my mama would stand watch and hand me a little cup of Listerine, watch me put it in my mouth, rinse it around a few times, then gargle awhile. She let me know when I could spit that 🔥 burning hot stuff out! I wonder just how much alcohol was in that stuff back in my kid days?

    I grew up in that area. I found a bottle dump in my backyard, a c.1800 Victorian style house that was the surgery and home of a famous eye surgeon in Parsons, Ks. There were so many cobalt blue bottles (as well as lots of others) I just gave up and covered it up and planted my rose bush in a different spot😜
    It’s probably still there, since I didn’t tell the new owners.
    If you’re interested I’ll give you the address and tell you precisely where the dump is.
