| This bottle reads: THE SILVER PALACE PHARMACY, PRESCRIPTIONISTS, FORT PIERCE, FLA. |
I found this nice piece of Fort Pierce history Thursday evening, 95% buried in sand. From the small piece of glass I could see, I thought it might be worth prying out of the sand, and I was right.
I found a one like this almost exactly one year ago. I learned that the Silver Palace pharmacy operated from about 1927 to 1964 in Fort Pierce sy 2nd and Orange Ave.

I recently added a couple bottles to TGBottleBarnlblogspot.com, including the recently found Seminole Milk Company bottle.

Here are two paragraphs from a report by the Anti-Counterfeiting Educational Foundation to the United States Trade Representative.
Of course there is much more to the report. The report identifies Amazon, Alibaba, Facebook and eBay as being huge markets for counterfeiters and points out that Amazon makes 15% from counterfeit sales and elaborates on the problem of Facebook pop-up ads and the Facebook marketplace and more. I avoid using those sites, although in years past I did use eBay to sell old bottles and books. I would never use Alibaba.
To learn more about the counterfeiting problem, use the following link. You will have to download the first download to read the entire report.
On a related topic, while the world's attention is on the Ukraine, China is using the opportunity to expand its military advantages around the world and gain leverage and business. They are buying up agricultural land, and already own much of the United States agricultural property, including that in Florida. They will profit greatly from the food shortage our President has warned us to expect. All this while Nero fiddles.
