The store name and address (in our case Caplan's Drug Store), could be added later or ordered pre-printed as part of the label.

Generic Corn Remedies:
As previously noted, throughout the 19th and well into the early 20th Century, --- generic (as opposed to brand name) medicines were more the rule than the exception. In order to increase profits, local pharmacists would simply make their own medicines as opposed to just selling someone else’s drugs. Either that or they would buy preparations in bulk and then simply repackage or rebottle it for eventual retail.
The simplistic chemical formula(s) and straightforward way of making corn remedies, lent themselves well for small production runs by local drugstores. This factor explains why we have so many manufacturers of various standardized drugs such as corn remedies. It also explains why we have so many whole-sale drug catalogs advertised the sale of pre-formatted 'Blank labels' and containers.
