One of the oldest businesses in Auburn was that of Aull & Company Druggists.
It also had a remarkable history in that it remained in the family for three
generations.The Aull business was established in Auburn in April of 1885
by Dr. Thomas Aull, who came here from Hartford, Ky.
These are two pictures taken in the late 1800s or early 1900s.
The right hand picture shows both buildings owned by Aull & Company. The
old building at the right of the horse (corner of Main & Spring Street) and
the new building at the (left of the horse) on the corner of Pearl & Main
Street.
Aull & CO's original location was on the corner of Main Street
and Spring Street.
In 1890 Dr. Thomas Aull sold to his father's (Dr. A. S. Aull) an
interest in the business. Dr. A. S. Aull was an old timer in business as he had
been in business in Sulphur Springs, Ohio County since 1865.
In the spring of 1900 Dr. Adolphus Johnson, a son-in-law of Dr.
A. S. Aull, moved to Auburn. He was married to Edna Aull, Dr. A. S. Aull's
daughter. Dr. Johnson bought out his brother-in-law's interest in the business.
Shortly after Dr. Johnson's arrival in Auburn, Aull & CO
purchased a site across the road and built a store at the corner of Pearl Street
an Main Street.
