B. K. Bailey's Drug Store
Is that B K Bailey standing in front? Don't know.
I know this building stood where the present Warsaw
Pharmacy now stands. That's US 42 going toward
Louisville to the left.

S. P. Grubbs, Coal Dealer
Between Main Cross and Second, on Locust
| "Warsaw's river front has taken on a cityfied air since S. P. Grubbs' coal elevator has begun operations. The coal digger arrived Friday and started to unload a barge of slack coal for the Warsaw Furniture Manufacturing Company Saturday. The elevator is quite an improvement over the old way of unloading barges as the coal is scooped out of the barge by machinery and hauled to the top of the incline where it is dumped into a large hopper, which in turn loads the wagons as they drive under it, doing away with much of the labor required in the past."

the McDanell Furniture Factory
McDanell Factory Burns in 1905; is rebuilt, story here.
| There were three Warsaw Furniture Factories. McDanell's was between Second and Sparta Pike, behind the residences on the south side of Pearl. Lanham's (you may also hear it described as Prill's, who were later owners) was on Main Street, behind where Kentucky Motors is today. The third, the Bogardus Factory, begun in 1902, originally made dining room and hall furniture which was shipped to all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and South America. It was across 42 from the Cemetery, and was only torn down in the last decade or so. |
