Thomas Phillip Lloyd

Thomas Phillip Lloyd, known as Philip, was a Chapel Hill pharmacist. A 1920 graduate of the university's pharmacy school, he worked for many years at the Patterson Brothers drugstore on East Franklin Street. When that store failed in 1930, he and James Manning Pritchard bought it from the receivers and ran it as Pritchard-Lloyd. Pritchard bought him out in 1936, and in 1940 Lloyd opened his own Carolina Pharmacy on East Franklin Street.

StorylineChapel Hill’s business failures, 19301930 · 7 events · Chapel Hill's merchants went through a run of failures in early 1930. In January receivers were appointed for the Patterson Brothers drugstore, which the Weekly later counted the first of the village's mercantile failures that year. In February the Moore-Johnson Hardware Company filed in voluntary bankruptcy and closed, and the merchant S. Berman was put in the hands of a receiver; the Weekly blamed the collapse of real estate values. After the bank cashier M. E. Hogan warned that local business was 'in a bad way,' the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs urged people to buy from home merchants. By May new businesses had opened in the empty hardware store and the old cafeteria space.
