Item Details
J.R. Dickey grew up on the family farm, and arrived in Bristol in 1875 at about the age of 19. For a while he worked with his brother , James, at the City Drug Store. In February of 1880, John is a partner with Dr. Jere Bunting ( Bunting's Drug Store), as a druggist, located at #2 Ferguson Block, Bristol,VA. Between February and May of 1880, they move to #6 James Block on Main Street in Bristol,VA. Advertising at this time consisted of promoting their "Southern Liver Regulator" patent medicine...
By October of 1882 , John R. Dickey & Jere Bunting had parted ways and J.R. Dickey had formed his own company, J.R.Dickey & Co., as a Wholesale & Retail Druggist. His partner at this time may have been a Dr.J.F.Hicks. It is reportedly from Dr. Hicks that John obtained the eye water formula that would later become his best-selling and longest lasting product.
The Pure Food & Drugs Act of June 3oth, 1906 required he make some changes to his now leading medicinal product: Old Reliable Eye Water. He renamed it: Old Reliable Eye Wash in order to follow the terms of the Act. Exactly when he began manufacturing the new version - "eye wash" is as yet unknown. He remained in the business of selling his eye water/wash until his death in 1923.
