The druggist, the man who many times is entrusted with your very lite, .plays an important part in the' 'health of any community. Without a druggist, Goderich would be severely han•dica•ped, yet all too 'often the general public takes for. granted t.ne services- of this all-important person. In its formative years, of course, Goderich was without a druggist. Referring to the February 4, 1ts48, issue of • the Huron Signal, an aa- vertisement appears at John Win- er, wholesale druggist, of Hamil- ton, Ontario, and Signal readers were. invited to write to him for required drugs. He also handled paints, oils, varnishes and colors. in the 'same issue an advertisement told of the patent medicines of Dr. William B. Moffat, of New York City, with Benjamin Parsons, Gode- rich's first mayor, as, the local agent for these medicines. First Local Ad First advertisement of a Gode- rich druggist to appear in the Huron Signal was in the issue of March 9, 1849, and read as fol- lows: "Stokes, chemist and drug- gist, West Street, Goderich." Then, on June 6, 1850, the second drug-, gist advertisement appeared as fol- lows: "R. Williams and Company, chemists and druggists and gen- eral dealers in groceries, liquors, paints, oils, varnishes, dye 'stuffs, hardware, etc., . Stratford. Pre- scriptions dispensed with accuracy and promptitude." It is •difficult to tell just who the first druggist was in Goderich and where he was located, but the adverisement of Mr. Stokes in the Mixon Signal .of February 4, 1848, might dindiicate that he}• was. Another early druggist was Mr. Ferguson, who had a drug store in the old King Edward Hotel (where the present Coca Cola plant is now located' on Kingston street). When he died Mr. Reynolds, a relative of the late Sheriff Reyn- olds, took over this drug business. He moved it to where Pridham's Men's Wear .is„ now located and it was known as "Medical Hall." 'Next purchaser of this "drug btdskiess was Frank Jordan, who proved it to where Frank'Donnelly's law •af-" Ice is now located. Later on the C.P.R. came to Goderich 'and it was freely predicted that "code- rich would be a city within five years" Build New Block Mr. Jordan sold his drug store stand and joined with Mr. Horace Horton, who operated a grain elevator here, to build an entire business block on the booming Square • between Colborne and North streets. It was in 'this new block that Mr. Jordan located his drug store which is the present Lauder drug_ store. When Mr. Jordan died the business was sold to Mr. Frank Butland,, who after some years in business here went tee Detroit. Then the business was sold to, Mr. Roy Coultis who now operates a drug store on Queen li street, Toronto. Mr. Caldwell then purchased the business and after some years went to Little Current after selling the business to the present owner, J, H. Lauder, in 1916. Mr. James .Campbell came to Goderich •in 1913 and purchased the drug business of S: E. Hick (where the Ivie,--Mary Shop is now), wllo had operated there for 15 years previous to that. Mr. Camp- bell moved to his present store in 1921. This means Mr. Campbell has been in the drug business in Goderich for '42 years. Add ,to this the 15 years during which Mr. Hick operated the store and the business is 57 years 'old. Mr. Campbell has, been on the board of the Ontario College of Pharm- acy for a period of 11 years. Business 78 Years Old Mr. Guy Emerson came to Gode- rich in 1941 and ,purahil ed the drug store which was,,.operated here for some 32 years by the late Ebon Wigle (where Bert Mc- Creath's grocery is now- located -}:- About four years ago Mr. Emerson moved the business to, its present location at the corner of West street and the Square. •,Befo.re Mr. "Wigle owned the drug .business it was owned and operated by Mr. James Wilson, also for about 32 years. This makes the business run by Mr. Emerson 78 years old. Mr. W. E. Cattle was one of the owners of the present Dunlap Drug Store in the early days.

Your Pharmacist is the ONLY merchant in the community who MUST have a diploma—and who MUST have it renewed each year. Your druggist shares with your doctor a personal and professional interest in your health. As with your doctor, your family pharmacist is many times entrusted with your very life. The prescription he dispenses, the drugs. and medications he compounds, all are part of an waiting sciexle which must be perfectly understood. That is why your druggist spent many long years studying for his degree. And why, long after graduation, he must' continue his studies -- keeping abreast of the miraculous advances made by the great pharmaceutical houses, keeping pace with medical and scientific research and discovery. That is why, too, lie is proud to display his diploma. It. is his hard- earned authority to practice an exacting science and it is the reason why you can depend on your family druggist. 44. 2to8 ampbell's Drug Store _Dunlop's Drug Store H.
