Instead of "Guardian Drugstore, White's Pharmacy", it reads Big -V Drugstore, in the fa- miliar blue. Local pharmacist Bill White, who has served this area for a number of years, first in the build- ing now opening as the new library, then as a Guardianaffiliate, has now joined the Big -V family of in- dependent pharmacists.
