Interesting there are two "B.F. Hall"s listed in Modesto/San Mateo. Wouldn't be much of a stretch to think the same Hall relocated a couple of times. For example druggist W.B. Pixley started in Stockton, later moving to S.F. and Oakland. Embossed bottles for all three of Pixley's locations exist.<br /><br />7. B.F. Hall, Modesto<br />8. John T. Hall, Oakland<br />9. J.T.
