Keating'i Phc.rthacy Celebrates
Forty Years on SeaforthMain Scree
Celebrating the forthieth an-
niversary of commencing busi-
ness in Seaforth, .1. E. Keating
agrees he wouldn't have missed
a minute of it.
"I've never regretted coming
to , Seaforth. They have been
40 wonderful years," he said, as
he recalled outstanding inci-
dents during his business career
here,
It was in October, 1923, that
Mr. Keating established Keat-
ing's Pharmacy. Not long re-
turned from overseas, where he
was wounded, and a recent
graduate of the Ontario Col-
lege of Pharmacy, he had never
heard of Seaforth until a for-
mer area resident, the late W.
A. Hargraves, of Drug Trading
Co., told him a drug business
was for sale here, and of the
opportunities that existed in
the area.
"I got on the train one morn
ing and came up and saw for
myself. Before I left that after-
noon I had an, option;" he said.
Long Established
The business he bought had
been formed about 60 years
earlier, and through the years
had established a name for fair
dealing and quality merchan-
dise, and Mr. Keating continued
to follow the same principles.
The business today . is among
the largest of its kind in the
area.
Included among the store rec-
ords are early prescription
books, dating from the late six-
ties and seventies, when Lumd-
sen & Wilson were the drug-
gists, and later when Col. Alex
Wilson carried on the business.
Mr. Keating purchased the busi-
ness from E. Umbach.
A native of Madoc, Hastings
County, he attended school
there and early in the First
War enlisted and served three
years overseas. It was when he
returned to Canada he decided
to become a druggist, graduat-
ing in 1920. Following gradua-
tion he worked in Toronto until
he came to Seaforth. A sou-
venir he cherishes; and which
THE INTERIOR OF KEATING'S PHARMACY was completely remodelled following a
disastrous fire in June, 1953. The attractive and modern arrangement permits display of
a large stock, in a way that makes shopping easy. The building has housed a drug store
.for more than 90 years. (Expositor photo by Phillips).
reminds him of his first days
here, is the first nickle he took
in on the sale he made after
his name was on the door.
"I often wish I knew who
that kid was, who bought that
chocolate bar that day," he
said.
His daughter, Merle, Mrs. M.
E. Hoover, followed in her
father's footsteps and graduat-
ed in pharmacy in 1944. She
has been associated with her
father in the business since
1957. A son, Kenneth, practises
law in New York.
Active in Community
Mr. Keating early in his Sea -
forth days assumed an active
role in the community. Inter-
ested in sports, he was associ-
ated with the bowling, curling
and golf clubs. He found time
to take part in municipal af-
fairs, and after several years years in
council was Mayor in 1949-5A.
He was the first chairman of
the Seaforth Arena Commis-
sion.
A charter member of the Sea -
forth Lions. Club, he is a past
president and former zone chair-
man and district deputy gover-
nor. He is a Past Master of
Britannia Lodge, and for 31
years has been treasurer. He
is also a member of the ,Scot-
tish rites and of Mocha Shrine.
He is a past president and past
superintendent of Royal Arch
Chapter. He is a past presi-
dent of Seaforth Branch 156
Royal Canadian Legion.
"I can take things a bit eas-
ier now. Merle is here and I
can get away mote," he said.
He and Mrs. Keating enjoy
travelling and spend several
weeks away each year.
PROMINENT IN THE ACTIVITIES of Keating's Pharm-
acy are staff members, (left) Miss Abbie Seip, Miss Mary Ellen
Gorwill and Mrs. Ann Henderson. Mrs. Henderson first was
associated with the store in the twenties, and after an
absence of 23 years returned again to the staff in 1951.
