Brame Drugs is an institution in North Wilkesboro. Dr. P. J. Brame and J. R. Norris started the company in 1907, and the last pharmacist retired in the 1990s. In its time the store was known throughout the Southeast for products concocted by its pharmacists, including Brame's Pep-to-Celery and Brame's Bramol.
