Description
John Quincy Adams Hawes was a druggist. The Hallowell Register noted ca. 1906, "John Gilman sold his drugstore to Mr. James Jackson, but the firm of Warren & Hawes soon succeeded. They conducted business largely on the old lines, as a conservative establishment dispensing drugs and medicines in the old ways. The senior partner, Mr. J. Q. A. Hawes, was an active man with musical and local matters, and in the war was a surgeon with one of the Maine regiments. Mr. George G. Warren, the junior partner, retired from this firm to engage in business in Gardiner, where he died a few years ago."
The business was then acquired by Henry Pope Clearwater who launched one the most successful mail order patent medicine businesses in the U. S. during the first half of the 20 century.
