Opera House Pharmacy, Rossville, Kansas
Description
The Opera House Pharmacy was owned and operated by G.P. Pierce. The first telephone switchboard was located there. Telephone service to the public did not get started in Rossville until August 1900, when Manager McMahan of the Alma Telephone Co. offered to establish an exchange. G.P. Pierce asked for and received a 20-year franchise from the city. By the end of the year, telephone lines connected Maple Hill, Rossville, and St. Marys. Shown in the photograph are Ferg Jamieson, Mrs. Pierce, and Mr. G.P. Pierce.
