Dear Colleagues,

Can any of you help us with info about a glass bottle from the 
19th-century Market Street Chinatown (San Jose, CA)

The bottle is a clear glass rectangular panel bottle with a rounded 
flanged finish, and measures 125.6mm x 51.9mm x 34.6mm.
It has one embossed panel that reads  "WHITTEMORE / BOSTON"

We're seeking information about the Whittemore company - i.e., dates 
of operations, and the types of medicines or ointments that might 
have been manufactured and distributed under that name.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Barb Voss
