Description

W.A. Collier established a drug store in 1887 that was among the first in Tuscaloosa then known as Dill and Collier. Collier gained a controlling interest in the firm and was touted as a superior druggist and pharmacist, making his business one of the most popular of its kind. The store had grown so much that it moved to the corner store under the McLester Hotel on Market Street (now Greensboro Avenue).

In 1899, Collier was a young man, but had served the city for eight years, repeatedly being re-elected to alderman.
