Wolcott. First called Cox & Cox Drug, it soon was named The City Drug and employed Dr. Wolcott's daughter, Constance, one of Oklahoma's first woman pharmacists. She was a graduate of the 1902 pharmacy school at the University of Oklahoma.

The upper story offices housed early day physician, Dr. A.M. Marshall, and lawyer, P.D. Erwin.
