If the 1880 Winfield Directory is correct, it appears that the Factory Store, located one door north of Maris Drug Store, was located on the east side of Main Street between 10th and 11th avenues. Address would have been one door north of Maris Drug Store in 1885, which indicated that its address was 1005 Main.
Very complicated move made with respect to this drug store. At one time it was owned by Enoch Maris, Carson, and B. F. Baldwin. Everyone bailed out except Baldwin, who then sold the drug store to Quincy A. Glass...
Winfield Directory 1880...
GLASS, QUINCY A., Main, e. s. between 10th and 11th avenues.
QUINCY A. GLASS. This gentleman opened his drug house last February, and has one of the most complete stocks in this line in Southern Kansas. He has been in the drug trade for a number of years and is well versed in chemistry, having devoted several years to it, and is regarded as one of the leading pharmacists in the State. Mr. Glass came to Winfield about two years ago and in company with Mr. Brown, bought out Mr. Baldwin. He has since, as above stated, opened a Drug store which is a credit to any Eastern city. Mr. Glass is one of our most popular businessmen, and those who once do business with Quincy A. Glass take pleasure in again returning. This store is located on Main, between Tenth and Eleventh avenues.

Our "Courier" Patrons. In beginning the "Centennial year," with an enterprise like the one we have engaged in this week, it is but right and proper that we make honorable mention of the men who, by giving us their patronage, have greatly helped us in the "financial" part thereof.
WHITEHEAD, Mrs. S., keeps a good stock of millinery goods at the old stand. The ladies all know where it is.
