Anthony Stoves, born in Germany in 1863 was previously in the mining business in Roslyn Washington when he purchased the pharmacy stock of Louis Speakers in 1902 and called his new store the Roslyn Pharmacy. His was the only pharmacy in town between 1902 through 1915 when the Central Pharmacy opened business as his only competitor. The Roslyn Pharmacy experienced a fire in 1916 which caused major damage which closed the building for a time as it had no insurance covering the losses. In addition to the pharmacy, Stoves had business interests as part owner of the local telephone lines and as part owner of a local undertaking business. The pharmacy remained in business until the death of Stoves in May, 1932.
