slowly grew as the wholesale busi-

nd advisable to form a separate
company, called the Tick's Family
Remedy Co., to make and sell some
score of these successful products. A
few years later the eldest son, H.
Smith Richardson, joined his energies

the calendar. But long
enough for one man with
one idea to create an ever-
growing, ever-living thing
to make his shadow
lengthen along the avenue
of time.
I first met VapoRub in
1908 (it was then called
Vick's Croup Salve) when
in company with the late
Dean Vernon Howell we
visited the plant in Greens-
boro. The product was giving a bit of
trouble in that an occasional batch
tended to separate and to be granular.
The Dean offered a helpful suggestion
which was adopted. Exactly ten
years later I was elated over secur-
ing a full page advertisement from
the firm for this Journal. In the
light of present sales this advertise-
ment in question is interesting. Over

'Rah for the South!
"We have just been advised that Mr.
Chas. H. Evans, of Warrenton, Ga.,
has been elected president of the A.
Ph. A. for 1940-41. Mr. Evans is a
retail pharmacist, a fine citizen, and a
delightful gentleman. We are happy
that enough members indicated him
as their choice for his election by mail
to result. Mr. Evans will be installed
at the Richmond meeting in May of
this year.
What's My Name?
This issue goes to press very short-
ly after readers have received the
previous number of the Journal. For
this reason perhaps only a very small
number of persons have sent in their
answers to the eleven questions that
were asked in the December article
entitled "It Couldn't Be Anybody
Else."
No one answered all of the ques-
tions correctly, but 'Gene Rimmer, of
Charlotte, missed only one (No. 11),
and in addition he added interest to
his reply by lining up his eleven mej
in football formation.
Here are the correct answers :
1. Warren Home, Fayettevill

2. The late Dean Howell, wl
played football after he was
teacher.
3. P. J. Suttlenryre, Hickory, foj

It was said above that Mr. Riming

Postscript : We have just had wo
that the Greensboro Drug Club, at
meeting Dec. 8, answered all of t
questions correctly.

Philip Daniel Gattis
""rom time to time we pause and pay
>ute to some pharmacist amongst us who
entitled to praise. Our Man-of-the-
ith this time is Phil Gattis, of Raleigh,
il pharmacist and president of the X.
Pharmaceutical Association.
Ir. Gattis was born in Wake County
| Raleigh on August 26, 1897. His
her before her marriage was Miss Ella
liams. The name of his father is Rob-
Edwards Gattis. The latter owned a
ry a number of years ago and young
|l eventually became official custodian of
te of the cow's. On the way to school in
eigh he delivered milk,
one point of delivery
a drug store on Per-
street near the pres-
Person Street Phar-
y which he now owns.
t place appealed to
t ; especially the man
rhe white uniform and
; products on display
t could be bought for
jickel. The latter unit
currency loomed large
|he kid's mind because
represented what
ned a million acorns
! he would pick up
sell. It was during
se days that a resolu-
. to study pharmacy
ned and stuck. Mr.
tis' practical experi-
; covered the period
I 1910 to 1916 and
j served in the follow-
j stores: Martin Street
irmacy and J. C.
ptley, both of Ra-
!h; J. C. Wiley, of
jthern Pines, and R. R, Beatty, of Char-
'?. He passed the examinations of the
Srd of Pharmacy in 1916 following study
pie Max Morris course and attendance
ji the sessions of Page's School of Phar-
w. Mr. Gattis was attached to the
jnical Warfare Service of the Medical
iartment of the Army from August 1917
(larch 1919 having the rank of Sergeant
f being stationed most of the time at
iewood, Maryland, but being called to
ly other points while in line of duty,
nmediately after leaving the Armv
rch 19, 1919, to be exact) Mr. Gattis
opened his first drug store — the Person
Street Pharmacy — which he alone owns. In
1929 he opened Person Street Pharmacy
No. 2 in the Hayes-Barton section of the
city. Both stores are enviable possessions.
He has other property as well.
To prove the civic -mindedness of the man,
here are some of the payless positions he
holds: Member of the Vocational and also
the Crippled Children Committees of the
Rotary Club; a director in both the Raleigh
Chamber of Commerce and the Merchants
Association; the Director of Nursing Serv-
ice in the Community Chest; and a member
both of the City Zoning
and the City Extension
Committees. His inter-
ests are very wide. He
belongs to the Country
Huli; to the Tabernacle
Baptist Church ; and is a
32nd degree Mason, be-
ing an officer of the Blue
Lodge.
Mr. Gattis was married
first to Miss Ludye Ethel
Rogers, of Raleigh, who
died September 24, 1926.
Two girls, Misses Eleanor
Glyn and Peggy, were
born of this union. On
February 18, 1930, Mr.
Gattis was married to
Miss Mary Morgan, of
Raleigh. They have one
child, Mary Morgan, aged
seven.
We asked a friend of
Mr. Gattis this question:
"What is his hobby?"
"Golf," the man an-
nounced quickly, "but he
is very fond of football,
baseball, soft ball, and
. . .," but we halted him because we have not
room here to list all of the things of which
Phil Gattis is fond. One of his main likes
is Folks and to our way of thinking this
explains much of his success. Whether he is
dealing with doctors professionally and so-
cially, or the average customer in his store,
or young people, he always seems ready to
listen intelligently and with interest. The
man lives every moment he is awake and in
our judgment he enjoys the art of living.
We hope that the New Year will bring him
continued success as well as abundant hap-
piness to his loved ones. — J. G. B.

HERE'S TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!
By Alice Noble
Friendships Through the Years
There is no one who loves friends more
;han I do. I spend a great deal of my
irne thinking about those here, yonder and
everywhere who have proved their friend-
ihip in so many ways year in and year out.
'. wish I could see such friends oftener —
hat I could be with those who were in the
School of Pharmacy the first year I began
'pecking a typewriter" in old Person Hall
ind likewise those who have followed them
lown through the years to the recent gradu-
ites of a few months ago. I often wish I
ould enjoy a long chat with first this one
ind that "in the good old way," or have a
iard fought game of bridge with those who
ised to drop down home for an evening
always looked forward to, or to run down
;o Pinehurst for a polo match, or to Dur-
am for the movies, or somewhere else along
[he trail where excitement called. I would
;tke also to be with many other friends
mong the pharmacists who have not been
nder "my chaperonage" as Secretary of the
ichool of Pharmacy. Three of these "coin-
cides" I knew long before I ever thought of
'ecoming a business woman and one of them
akes delight to this day in joking me about
try gay and giddy days. I can truthfully
iay too that he is just as delightful a per-
bn now as he was in the days when he was
he toast of the campus. The second is my
oss — nuf sed ! Here's to him ! And the
bird is still the greatest ladiesman in the
tate. (Guess who!) I could not write
fnything about friendship without mention-
hg that fine friend, Dr. E. V. Zoeller. He
an never even guess how7 I treasure his
indness and goodness.
I My friends have meant more and more
I) me as the years go by. Tonight as the
|d year draws to a close I am thinking
iirticularly of these associates and as I feel
|ke "gossiping with them" I am going to
;se part of the space regularly allotted to
|e and just talk!
Don't You, Just Love Christmas?
I I can say from the bottom of my heart
, at each year Christmas means more and
sore to me. I just love the Yuletide season
id nothing gives me more joy than to deck
ie house with holly; to trim the tree with
ay tinsel and many candles; and to ob-
1 rve all those customs that make up an old-
fashioned Christmas! But the greatest joy
of all comes from the greetings I receive
from my friends. It is not exaggeration
when I say that I know all the cards I
received by heart and I wish to thank you
one and all for thinking of me. My Christ-
mas breakfast was wonderful — in the dining
room was a piece of mistletoe that weighed
almost twenty pounds and which was sent
to me by a pharmacist who knows the joy
I get from the Yuletide season. A beauti-
ful poinsetta on the table was a gift of the
women students of pharmacy at the Uni-
versity, and the oranges, grape fruit, sau-
sage, etc., were provided by pharmaceutical
friends. Several telegrams came in while
we were eating — in fact the whole day Mas
filled with lovely surprises. Again I thank
you one and all for your gifts, for your
telegrams, and for your beautiful cards.
President Gattis' card couldn't help but
make you feel Christmas in your bones with
its gay Santa Claus shouting, "hello." The
photograph of Jim and "Mrs. Jim" Bowers
with their attractive family around the
Christmas table did your heart good and
made you wisli anew that the Bowers did
not live so far away. I must acknowledge
too the greeting from one of my youngest
friends, David Davis, Jr., of Wiliiamston,
who has more pharmaceutical ancestors than
anybody in the State. He is a handsome
young man and his card was a photograph
of himself, gayly smiling, as he threw a
snowball and shouted "Merry Christmas"
for himself and his nice mother and father.
Then we must mention our friends who are
in Uncle Sam's service. An airplane
"zooming" through the sky brought the
greetings of C. V. Timberlake and Marion
Hamer who are now in training at Pensa-
cola as aviators and will soon be commis-
sioned as ensigns. E. H. Wilkins, who has
been with the Marines for several years and
whom I haven't heard from in months, writes
from Scott Field, Illinois, that he is "at
present an instructor in electricity at the
Air Corps Technical School."
And so I could write on and on about
these friends but I dare not take more space
so I will say good-night and
"We hope you had a Christmas
Bright with cheer and pleasure,
And may the New Year hold
More joy than you can measure."

A critical question in the minds of druggists at this time concerns the effect upon
e sale of barbituric acid compounds of the new food and drug act. Does the state law-
Section 15k refer to the acid alone or does it include all of its preparations, compounds
derivatives'? May they be sold only on prescription, and if so, may the prescription
ajally lie refilled ? These and several other questions pertaining to the N. C. Food,
•ug and Cosmetic Act of 1939 are bothering pharmacists.
At the time of going to press the editor is not able to furnish any reliable information
iout the hypnotic section of the law. In a short time, however, the Department of
agriculture will formulate definitions and promulgate certain regulations covering: these
estions and will circularize the druggists of the State with the rules. In the meanwhile
i suggest that druggists use good judgment in the disposal of barbiturates, selling none
large quantities without a prescription. A N. C. law still on the statute books permits
e sale of no more than twelve therapeutic doses of hypnotics at any one time without
prescription. Let us not violate this law.
While there is doubt, about the sale of barbituric acid, there is not any doubt about
lfanilamide, amidopyrin, einehophen and neoeinchophen. These can be sold only upon
iginal prescriptions.
The Association is alive to its responsibility in connection with the new food and
ug act. Its officers are anxious to secure and publish any and all information about
e law at the earliest possible moment.
Mr. Reamer Visits Us
(Mr. I. T. Reamer, whose article appears below, is Chief Pharmacist at the Duke
ospital, in Durham. Prior to his joining the Duke staff he held a similar position at
>hns Hopkins, in Baltimore. We are glad to have this brief visit from Mr. Reamer.

"To the Editor:
"I am accepting the invitation which has been granted to me by way of the cover
ge of the January, 1940, issue of the Carolina Journal of Pharmacy for a contribu-
m to your very excellent Journal.
"First let me tell you of the pleasure and enjoyment which have been mine since I
st moved to your very attractive state almost ten years ago. Pharmacy is my first love
d I have received splendid co-operation from everyone in the things which I have
tempted to do here. Really I did not begin to enjoy my work half so much until I
ined the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association and began taking an active
terest in the Association. I have more or less taken root in the Section on Practical
larmacy and Dispensing where most of my activity has been confined. Presenting
.pers in this Section twice and this year for the third time acting as Chairman of the
ction has been a very rich experience for me. But to get on with my story. I travel
great deal and quite often in pharmaceutical gatherings the discussion of standards in
armacy becomes interesting subject matter for conversation. The first thought which
mes to my mind on such occasions is that we allow men and women to become registered
pharmacists in this state who have never had the benefit of one day's instruction in a
12 The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
school of pharmacy. These people have all the rights and privileges of the men
women who spend four of the best years of their life attending a school of pharnl
at a cost of several thousands of dollars either of their own hard-earned money or tha1
their parents. The question which I raise is this — When and how are we going to pi
stop to this irrational procedure?"

ew Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act
etail druggists are, perhaps, more inter-
d in obtaining accurate and definite in-
nation concerning their status with re-
it to the new Food, Drug and Cosmetic
than they have been in any other ques-
that has arisen in a long time. Cer-
ly, this office lias been besieged with
e inquiries and requests as to how the
law affects them than has been the case
i any law enacted heretofore.
1 the main, these inquiries have had to
vith the sale by retail druggists of bar-
rates. Unfortunately, it has not only
l impossible, but still is, for the writer
urnish this information, for the reason
the officials who are charged with the
>rcement of the Act have not promul-
d even tentative regulations covering
particular phase of the new law.
entative regulations dealing with the
r provisions of the drug law have been
ared and agreed upon by the Federal
fl and Drug Administration in Washing-
and our State Officials in Ealeigh. The
tion involving regulations dealing with
nturates is now under consideration and
eing studied further by the two govern-
tal agencies, referred to. It is reason-
to expect that the matter of barbitu-
s will be ironed out and regulations de-
ft upon with respect thereto before a
t while. When this has been done and
full tentative regulations have been
ed upon by the officials, a date for a
ing must be set and the hearing must
eld before they are finally adopted and
rulgated. Eepresentatives of the Board
Pharmacy and, also, Members of the
mtive Committee of the Association,
are giving the entire proposition care-
study and thorough consideration will
resent and ask for such changes as they
1 necessary to make the law workable
its administration reasonable.
this connection, "regulations so pro-
bated shall become effective on a date
by the Board of Agriculture, which
shall not be prior to ninety days after
Promulgation."
3W, aside from the question of barbi-
jtes, admittedly unsettled for the time
g, we are able to furnish you what is
believed to be definite information in con-
nection with other drugs under the law,
based upon rulings of the United States
Food and Drug Administration and covered
by our State Law.
(1) (a) Aminopyrine, Cinchophen, Xeo-
cinchophen, Sulfanilamide and their deriva-
tives are dangerous drugs, and may be sold
only under prescription of a physician, which
may not be refilled. "These drugs will be
considered misbranded unless they are so
labeled as to prevent their use under other
conditions."
(b) Dinitrophenol and Dinitroeresol may
not be sold even under a physician's pre-
scription. "Any product containing these
chemicals, designed for human use is con-
sidered misbranded and may not be sold."
(2) Barbiturates. Begulation governing
barbiturates pending further study and in-
vestigation. Status of same will not be
determined until additional information is
compiled and the study completed.
Xo action will be taken in connection
with the sale of barbiturates until regula-
tion governing same is promulgated and
notice given.
One of the difficulties facing the officials
is the apparent conflict between the provi-
sions of Sub-section (A) of Section 15 and
Sub-section (k). Under Sub-section (d) a
drug shall be deemed misbranded:
"If it is for use by man and contains
any quantity of the narcotic or hypnotic
substance alphaeucaine, barbituric acid,
betaeucaine, bromal, cannabis, carbromal,
chloral, coca, cocaine, codeine, heroin,
marihuana, morphine, opium, paraldehyde,
peyote, or sulphonmethane ; or any chemi-
cal derivative of such substance, which
derivative has been by the board after
investigation, found to be, and by regu-
lations under this Act, designated as,
habit forming; unless its label bears the
name and quantity or proportion of such
substance or derivative and in juxtaposi-
tion therewith the statement "Warning —
May be habit forming."
Under Sub-section (k) a drug shall be
deemed to be misbranded:
"If it is a drug sold at retail for use
by man and contains any quantity of

I LIKE TO TALK
By Alice Noble
I had such a good time "talking" last
month that I have been allowed to use part
of my space again to discuss some of the
things that are on my mind !
We Hate To Give You Up!
Last month Ave carried notice of the death
of W. Y. Minor, secretary-treasurer of the
Owens and Minor Drug Co. Shortly there-
after we learned that C. M. Knox, president
of the firm, had been stricken with paral-
ysis and is still quite ill. Today Jim
Bowers, vice-president of the Company,
writes that these two misfortunes will neces-
sitate his presence in the office continuously
and he has had to give up his traveling in
N. C. Continuing he says: "I do love the
Old North State and all the many friends
I have made there in the more than thirty-
six years that I have traveled. I do not
believe that anywhere on earth there are
any better people than in North Carolina —
and especially in eastern N. C. . . . I am
going to look forward each month to read-
ing the Carolina Journal op Pharmacy
and to seeing you all in Charlotte at the con-
vention." Now we ask you, how on earth
are Jim's friends going to get along with-
out his visits? He not only supplies their
pharmaceutical needs, but he is their friend
in every sense of the word.
Bight on the heels of the above announce-
ment we learn through a reporter that Col.
W. A. Brame is retiring after twenty-eight
years of service as representative for Sharp
and Dohme in eastern North Carolina. Writ-
ing of him in the August, 1939, Journal, the
Managing Editor praised his attitude to-
ward his work and his profession, as well
as characterized him "as the friend of all
who know him and as the enemy of no man
with whom he has had dealings."
We sympathize with eastern Carolina
druggists in the loss of the friendly visits
from such men as Jim Bowers and Col.
Brame and we do hope we will have the
pleasure of seeing both of them at the con-
vention! (Jim, be sure to bring the "Mrs."
with you ! )
Association Founder Praised
Have you read the Tar Heel Editor? We
feel sure that you will enjoy this autobiog-
raphy of Josephus Daniels. The book is
filled with interesting stories about people
you know. There is a most interesting sec-
tion devoted to Edward Morse Nadal, of
Wilson, the founder of the N. C. P. A. Mr.
Daniels knew him intimately first as the
close friend of his family, then as his teacher
of history and arithmetic at the Wilson I
legiate Institute, and most important of
as the boy clerk in Mr. Nadal's drug sk'
The author mentions with pride his o
honorary membership in the N. C. P. A. a|
asserts he "mailed the letters the Wils
druggist sent out to fellow pharmacists p
ing the way for their organization." Ir
dentally these notices were sent out ah
on the Ambassador's birthday. They w
dated May 17 and Mr. Daniels' birthday
May 18!
We Make an Announcement with Pride '
For many years we have been collect:
biographical data concerning the Assoc1
tion's members and officers. Quite a i
of our readers remember that at the H:,
Point meeting a large number of slii,
were shown of our officers and those of
T. M. A., the Woman's Auxiliary, and
Board of Pharmacy. Only a few photograjj
were missing of these "men of mark.'
day we can proudly announce that the n]
sing slides have been secured and we J
lieve we now have a collection of pharij
ceutical interest and value second to ml
in the Union.
I
Kappa Epsilon Goes National
Elsewhere we are giving an account J
the establishment at the State University;
a chapter of Kappa Epsilon, national socj
and professional sorority of women stude]
of pharmacy. Now I ask you of yesll
years if you ever dreamed "such thiJ
could be" — that is, if you ever thought J
men students would register in the Schl
of Pharmacy in such numbers that thl
would be a definite place for a womal
pharmaceutical sorority? And let me i
you also, they are a fine group of girls!
President Gattis and I Agree on the
Weather
For many a year I have always content
that every day in the world is a fine daj
"it matters not which way the wind d
blow." If the day is fair there are so mi
things to enjoy it seems silly to list th<
while if it is cloudy or there is rain or si,
there is so much pleasure in one's home t
the day is not long enough to do all
things that loom up. Yesterday Presid
Gattis was in the office and he went me
better — he says today is not only a fine ('
because it is today but also because one
take satisfaction in all the things that h,
pened the day before. That's what ■
call fine philosophy!

ited Christmas by moving back to the
on which it began its seventeen years
service to the people of the Capital City
L923. Re-occupancy of the Hillsboro St.-
hwood Ave. corner was marked by the
allation of the latest drug and sundry
chandising equipment. For the past

is assisted in the prescription department by
J. M. Buffaloe, pharmacist.
M. C. Savage, formerly with the Andrews
Drug Co., of Rocky Mount, is now associated
with the prescription department of the
Saunders Drug Store in the same city.
W. A. Clark, originally of Fayetteville,
but for many years proprietor of a Win-

originally of Randleman, is in charge of the
prescription department.
Elaborate plans are being perfected for a
testimonial dinner at the Atlanta Biltmore
Hotel on the evening of March 5 honoring
Charles H. Evans, prominent retail drug-
gist and citizen of Warrenton, Ga., recently
elected president of the American Pharma-
ceutical Association. A great assembly of
Georgia druggists and their wives with dis-
tinguished visitors from other states, in-
cluding officers of the national association,
will be present for the affair. Mr. Evans is
the third Georgia man to be honored with
the presidency of the A. Ph. A.
We understand that J. H. Pearce, former-
ly of Asheville, is now associated with the
Bay Drug Co., of Sarasota, Fla.
At a "Christmas dinner" meeting of the

The Journal extends sympathy to John
Colwell, of Wilmington, in the death of his
mother.
We congratulate J. A. Suttle, of Shelby,
on his completion of thirty-seven years serv-
ice as the proprietor of a drug store. Mr.
Suttle celebrated the event by a complete
remodeling of his pharmacy. The expression
"everything new except the location" de-
scribes the physical change in the store, but
in announcing the formal re-opening the
proprietor asserts "as times change, Suttle's
changes . . . but only in progress and ap-
pearance. One thing, however, will never
change — Suttle's 37-year-old policy of
Quality, Service, Low Prices and Fair Deal-
ing." A reporter described the pharmacy as
follows: "It's a blonde beauty — completely
streamlined with natural color prima vera
wood fixtures, re-decorated walls and ceil-
ing, in striking contrast with a modern
checkered floor of asphalt tile. Handsome
lighting fixtures, of the approved semi-in-
direct type, supply a glowing flood of illu-
mination for the entire length of the store.
On the opening day refreshments were
served and prizes awarded."
We understand that a new drug store
opened for business in Siler City late in the
year under the name of the Bell-Edwards
Drug Co. The pharmacy is under the man-
agement of L. R. Bell, formerly with the
Walgreen Drug Co., of Ealeigh, and W. S.
Edwards, who has been the proprietor of
Edwards Drug Store in Siler City. The new
pharmacy is located at the site of the Ed-
wards store.
We read witli interest and pleasure a
tribute to E. E. Missildine, of Tryon, in
the January number of the Southeastern
Drug Journal. The publication further hon-
ors the Tar Heel druggist by carrying a pic-
ture of him on the front cover page. Mr.
Missildine is a Life Member of the N. C.
P. A. and served as president of the or-
ganization 1920-21.
Friends will regret to hear that J. D.
Johnson, brother of the Asheville druggist,
R. J. Johnson, was seriously injured on
Jan. 3rd when he was struck by an autofj
mobile as lie attempted to cross the street!
in front of Biihmann's Drug Store. Mr.j

Kappa Epsilon Receives Charter
', Kappa Epsilon society, an organization
f young women students of pharmacy at
jie State University, became a member of
be national pharmaceutical sorority when
:: was presented with a charter at cere-
lonies on the University campus, January
•2-13. The society was formed at Howell
Tall on April 27, 1938 "to foster a medium
vrough which young women enrolled in the
Jchool might co-operate with the school fac-
lty, increase professional consciousness,
tirnulate scholarship and provide a bond
of friendship." Miss Altajane Holden, of
Bunnell, Fla., was elected president for the
first year. Miss Gertrude Horsch, national
vice-president, presided at the recent in-
stallation ceremonies and presented the
charter. Miss Anna Dean Burks, of Chapel
Hill, was installed as president with the
following other officers : Misses Elizabeth
Weaver, of Chapel Hill, vice-president;
Blanche Burrus, , secretary; Jessie Lee Smith,
of Robbinsville, treasurer ; and Altajane
Holden, member-at-large. Other members
of the sorority who were initiated are:
Misses Ernestine Barber, of Williamston;
Rose Stacy, Josephine Eldridge, June and
Jean Bush, all of Chapel Hill. Pledges will
be announced shortly. Several social events
were held in connection with the installa-
tion. These included a banquet at the Caro-
lina Inn and a tea at the Graham Memorial.
At the latter function University authorities,
the special Faculty of the School, and rep-
resentatives of the student body were guests.
While in Chapel Hill Miss Horsch was the
house guest of Miss Alice Noble, advisor of
the sorority.
Council Portrait Presented
A generous donor who insists upon re-
maining anonymous has presented the
School of Pharmacy with a well-executed
oil painting of C. T. Council, of Dur-
ham. The portrait now hangs in the Dis-
pensing Laboratory that was given to the
School five years ago by Mr. Council. It is
hoped that X. C. pharmacists visiting
Chapel Hill will also visit Boom 305, Howell
Hall, and see the interesting picture of Mr.
Council.
The Story Behind Norwich Products
Visitors to the laboratories of the Nor-
wich Pharmaeal Co. have so frequently ex-
pressed surprise about the size of the plant
and the ultra-modern methods and equip-
ment used in the production of Norwich
products that officials of the company de-
cided to publish an illustrated book which
would give an idea of this up-to-date phar-
maceutical laboratory. We have just had
the pleasure of looking over this thirty-six
page picture book with the title, "The
Story Behind Your Confidence in Norwich
20
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Products." Representatives of the firm are
distributing to the trade copies of this book
of over 100 photographs so that all may
take a pictorial journey through the plant
of the company.
Augustus Bradley Retires
Friends will be interested to hear that
Augustus Bradley, of Burlington, having
reached the retirement age, will leave his
post as an inspector of the United States
treasury department, effective Feb. 1st.
Upon reaching the age limit as set forth in
the law, retirement is compulsory. Licensed
as a pharmacist in 1891 Mr. Bradley was for
many years in the drug business in Bur-
lington. He was president of the N. C. P.

third, second, and first vice-president. He
has been in the treasury service for the
past twenty years and for the past ten years
in the district of New York. Still as active
and alert as a man many years his junior,
Mr. Bradley states he has no immediate
plans to engage in business.
Seized Bromo Seltzer Returned
An arrangement has been entered into
between the United States Government and
the Emerson Drug Co. under the terms of
which goods seized under claim that they
violated a provision of the new Food and
Drugs Act, have been returned. The formula
for Bromo-Seltzer was modified some months
ago and it is believed there will be no
further litigation.
Board of Pharmacy Examinations
The next examinations of the North Caro-

Deaths
It is with real sorrow that we announce
he death on Jan. 16 of Thomas Ruffin Hood,
if Smithfield, former president of the N.
. P. A. and a charter member of the or-
anization who had retained his member-
lip and interest in Association affairs since
;s founding. Mr. Hood was born in Wake
jounty on Sept. 29, 1857, the son of John
ogdell and Martha (Young) Hood. His
ather was a prominent druggist, and many
his relatives were connected with the pro-
ession. He moved to Smithfield in 1871
nd in 1873 formed a partnership with Dr.
E. Kirkman under the firm name of
lood and Kirkman. It was in this store
hat young Mr. Hood began his long ex-
perience as a pharmacist, working at first
I an apprentice and by 1877 as a full-
ledged pharmacist. He acquired an inter-
st in the firm on Jan. 1, 1879. On Nov.
19, 1887 he joined with his brother B. R.
lood, and bought the drug store of Sasser,
Voodall and Co., a competing firm, and
hanged the store name to Hood Brothers.
Jince this purchase the business has con-
inued under the same name and at the
ame stand, having in 1891 absorbed the
T. R. Hood and Co. drug store. In latter
ears, however, the pharmacy has belonged
0 Mr. Hood's two sons, W. D. and H. C,
he father having retired. For nineteen and
i half years he served as president of the
?irst-Citizens Bank and Trust Co., of Smith-
ield, and was a director for almost a half
i century. He was possibly the most active
nember of the local Methodist church in its
listory and was a member of the board of
itewards, serving as recording secretary for
)ver fifty years. He was married on Feb.
1 1881 to Miss Lucy Woodall, of Smithfield,
vho survives him as well as the two sons
nentioned above and three daughters. His
photograph has hung on the walls of the
ffowell Hall of Pharmacy at the State Uni-
versity for many years and during his fu-
leral this likeness was appropriately draped
n mourning. President Phil Gattis offi-
cially represented the Association at the
services and many other druggists were in
attendance. Hundreds of telegrams were
also received from sympathizing friends.
Shortly after the death of Mr. Hood
came the announcement that Henry Thomas
Hicks, of Raleigh, had passed away early
on the morning of Jan. 24. Born on March
4, 1866 near Raleigh and the son of Henry
Clay and Catherine (Broughton) Hicks, this
well-known pharmacist and manufacturer
was educated in the private schools of Wake
county, and at the Raleigh Male Academy.
He was licensed as a pharmacist in 1885
having previously obtained his apprentice
training under Dr. Nagle, of Hot Springs,
and in the Raleigh stores of Dr. W. H.
Bobbitt and Pescud Lee and Co. When he
passed the Board in Nov. 1885 he continued
with Pescud's Drug Store until the late
"eighties" when he entered the Philadelphia
College of Pharmacy. Completing the course
with high honors, he worked a while for
Carmichael's Pharmacy, of Asheville, but
wishing to return to Raleigh he accepted a
position with Jas. McKimmon, where he re-
mained as prescriptionist until 1893. He
then began business for himself at the east
corner of Fayetteville and Morgan Sts.
under the firm name of Snelling and Hicks.
In this location Mr. Hicks continued in the
retail drug business until Feb. 5, 1923, the
firm names in the interim having been Hicks
and Rogers, then Henry T. Hicks and Co.,
and finally Hicks-Crabtree Co. During this
time other stores were added. From the
time Mr. Hicks disposed of his retail stores
until his death he devoted his energies to
the affairs of the Capudine Chemical Co.,
of which he was the founder and president.
"Capudine," the chief product of this con-
cern, was first made in 1898 at the Fayette-
ville and Morgan St. store, but by 1904 its
popularity had so increased that it was
necessary to incorporate a separate company
for its manufacture. Mr. Hicks was also
interested in many business enterprises and
belonged to several lodges and clubs. He
joined the N. C. P. A. in 1897, changing
his affiliation to a Life Membership in 1917.
He has held many offices in the organization
including that of local secretary in 1918 and
president in 1902-03. He has also con-
22
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
tributed a number of interesting and in-
structive papers and his services have often
been given in furthering legislative meas-
ures initiated by the Association. Mr.
Hicks had been in bad health for some
time and entered Eex Hospital a few days
before his death suffering from heart and
asthma trouble. He was married to Miss
Ida Snelling on Jan. 6, 1892 and to her
and his two sons, William S. and Harry T.,
as well as other relatives, the Journal ex-
tends sincerest sympathy. The editors had
confidently expected to use a full page cut
of Mr. Hicks in this issue and were greatly
disappointed to discover that the 4x6
electro in our files had in some manner be-
come too marred for reproduction. The
Journal was already in press when the
news of Mr. Hicks' death reached us and
there was not enough time remaining for a
new picture to be secured and a new cut
to be made from it. The photograph from
which the original cut was made occupies
a prominent place in the corridor of the
School of Pharmacy at the University of
North Carolina. On the day of the funeral
this picture was draped in mourning. Due
to the heavy snow the roads to Ealeigh were
almost impassable the day of the funeral
services but in spite of this fact many out-
of-town druggists were in attendance.
President Gattis officially represented the
Association.
Norman Morrow, aged fifty-one, well-
known druggist of Gastonia, died at his
home in the Orthopaedic Hospital section
early on the morning of January 22 follow-
ing a long period of ill health. Mr. Morrow
had been confined to his bed for the past
six or seven weeks. Prior to that time, over
a period of nearly two years, he had been
intermittently at his place of business, the
Loray Drug Store. His death was the result
of a heart affection of long standing. Mr.
Morrow was a native of Gastonia, having
been born on Aug. 29, 1888. He was
licensed as a pharmacist in 1909 and with
the exception of short periods spent in drug
stores in Darlington, Asheville, and Kings
Mountain, his business life had been spent
in Gastonia. For the past fourteen years
he had owned and operated the Loray Drug
Store, and before that had been the pro-
prietor of the Morrow Drug Store. He is
survived by his widow, who was Miss Anni«
Wilson, of Darlington, S. C., and a son and|
daughter.

he graduated and was licensed. He has
missed only three meetings since he affiliated
with the organization. It is safe to say
that the organization does not have a mem-

in its support. He served as president dur-
ing the year 1921-22. From 1909-1918 and
from 1920-1933 he was a member of the N.

Help Re-elect Durham
Shortly now the voters in the Sixth Dis-
trict of North Carolina will determine who
will represent them in the next Congress.
Every county in the District has a nominee
seeking the office. In the group, as readers
know, is the present incumbent, Hon. Carl
T. Durham. He must be re-elected. Not
just because he is a pharmacist but be-
cause he has proved that he is a good man
to have in Washington these days.
We pharmacists often speak of how
powerful we could be politically if we ever
set our hand to it. This is because we
are in contact with so many people and
have such fine opportunities to suggest the
cause or the candidate that we may en-
dorse. It is high time, however, that the
pharmacists of the Sixth District begin
using their political influence if they want
24
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Mr. Durham to be re-elected. It is dan-
gerous to assume that he will be returned
without help, because he has strong opposi-
tion. May we urge every registered phar-
macist in the district to constitute himself a
committee of one and begin working for
Durham votes in the May Primary.
Rubbing Alcohol Sales
The Legal Section carries a full descrip-
tion of the new regulations governing the
sales of rubbing alcohol compounds. We
regret that the official news did not
"break" in time for us to publish it last
month.
The significance of the ruling that allows
pharmacists only to sell rubbing alcohol is
to be found mainly in the illicit traffic in
this product that has been going on through
other channels of trade. This is a trust
but like many privileges it carries a definite
responsibility. Pharmacists, we believe, will
measure up to this trust intelligently and
conscientiously.
It has not been uncommon to find rubbing
alcohol being sold at six cents a pint in
this State. Why anybody should have sup-
posed that legitimate sales in number could
be made for this price is beyond under-
standing. There will be no more six-cent
alcohol. And certain "gyp" concerns will
have to look for another racket after this.
A. Ph. A. Issue New Journal
A new and needed pharmaceutical publi-
cation has just made its appearance. It is
called the Practical Pharmacy Edition of
the Journal of the American Pharmaceuti-
cal Association. Edited by Dr. E. F. Kelly,
Secretary of the A. Ph. A., it is expected
that the new journal will appeal strongly
to practical pharmacists. For the year
1940 the publication will be mailed with-
out subscription cost to all of the dues-
paid members of state pharmaceutical asso-
ciations. A list of the dues-paid members
in the N. C. P. A. has been sent to Dr.
Kelly. If you do not receive your copy and
yet have paid your dues, please advise this
office and the error will be corrected.
The average pharmacist receives without
the asking a host of free literature. Some
of it is good but too much is just straight
trash. All of us need to subscribe to and

Some Drugs Come High
A drug store recently reported to us tha
it had been refilling one prescription on ai
average of every thirty to sixty days sine,
1930 at a price of $22. This is an extreme
example of the cost of some drugs, of coursa
but nevertheless it worries druggists whj
have to charge very high prices for som
of the expensive products now being pu
upon the market. We wish that doctors wh>
prescribe such costly medicaments wrould sa;
to their patients : "This is an expensive
remedy," in order to forewarn and prepare
the purchaser for prices that he would other,
wise think of as excessive.

avors Limiting Sale of Barbiturates
to Prescriptions
We received a letter recently that is typi-
il of the thoughts of those druggists who
)pose the sale of hypnotics except under
rict control. Not all druggists agree, how-
•er, with all of the positions taken in the
tter below. We will gladly publish other
tters on the subject.
o the Editor:
"I have just been shown your editorial in
e February Journal which states that
ere is doubt about the sale of Barbituric
cid and its derivatives without a prescrip-
on. I am writing this letter to urge you
use your best influence to have the De-
iirtment include it in all its forms in the
w. I am sure that if you could see, as I
tve seen, some of the terrible tilings this
ug and its derivatives have done here in
ir own city you would do what you can
have it barred except on prescription.
is a rare thing that a doctor gives a
itient any of these barbiturates that the
itient does not continue to take them and
■adually in greater quantities until often-
aies their lives are ruined, their homes are
lined, and their whole moral character is
oken down.
"I urged the local Medical Society to go
fore the Legislature last time and have
gislation passed to stop it and they prom-
3d me they would but did nothing about
It is a disgraceful situation and no
[sponsible druggists wants it this way.
ir local druggists at my urgent request
ve already agreed to place it under the
in and for some time we have not sold it
cept on prescription. The state law ai-
ding 12 doses to a person means abso-
tely nothing. Customers can come in here
d buy 12, and then go to every other
ore in town and buy 12. That's a joke
A we all know it. I just want to say
at while the State Department of Agri-
lture has the opportunity I would like to
3 them urged to put all barbiturates under
escriptions only. I believe after care-
lly reading the law that it will hold up
Court and while the druggists are recep-
-e to this interpretation and many of
em have already accepted it, then why
t try it anyway! I don't believe anyone
11 even contest it."
Equipment Requirement for Registra-
tion of Drug Stores
Reported by H. C. McAllister
At the November meeting of the Board
of Pharmacy, certain measures regarding
the registration of new drug stores were
found desirable in order to further protect
the public health and welfare. It has been
found that a large number of stores and es-
pecially new stores, at the time of opening,
were sadly lacking in technical equipment.
It was felt that this absence of necessary
equipment constituted a potential danger to
the public health and, therefore, deserved
some remedy.
The matter of technical equipment re-
quirements is not a new thing since some
states already demand that the store inven-
tory contains a minimum list of equipment
before it is registered. Also it is apparent
from the statutes that those who wrote our
laws anticipated some such conditions as we
have at present with regard to the registra-
tion of new drug stores since the law states
— "the fee for such registration, whether
original or annual, shall be one dollar, and
upon payment thereof the Board of Phar-
macy shall issue a permit to applicant en-
titled to receive same." It is very reasonable
that in order to be entitled to receive a per-
mit the store must be properly equipped to
carry on the practices for which the permit
grants the privilege. Therefore, when the
Board makes these requirements for techni-
cal equipment it is only exercising the au-
thority granted it by law to protect properly
the public in the distribution of medication.
At present no definite list of required
equipment has been adopted. However, the
application for the registration of a new'
drug store provides for such. Those who
contemplate the opening of stores in the
future will be interested to note that the
following appears in the application form:
"I hereby agree that if the Board of
Pharmacy will register the said drug store
and issue to me a permit that the manage-
ment of the store will be conducted in strict
compliance with the North Carolina Phar-
macy Law.
"I further agree that said store will be
equipped as the North Carolina Board of
Pharmacy may require."
26
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
We feel that this is a progressive step
and hope that the Board will soon see fit to
extend these requirements to stores already
established, which it will, no doubt, do.
Certainly we cannot expect public support
and co-operation from the allied professions
unless we adequately meet our obligation to
protect the public health and in the matter
of equipment most of us are failing our
obligations.
A Pharmacy Senate at Chapel Hill
Reported by E. A. Brecht
A Pharmacy Senate was organized recent-
ly at the School of Pharmacy. This new
group has been patterned on the Phi and
Di Senates of the University of North Caro-
lina. The Pharmacy senate will discuss the
present-day topics of commercial pharmacy.
E. A. BRECHT, Ph.D.,
Instructor in Pharmacy at the University
of North Carolina
The need of such a discussion group seems
apparent when the future role of students is
considered. As educated men of respon-
sible positions in their communities they
will be expected to be leaders. Leading
usually boils down to speaking. Unfortu-
nately speakers are seldom born, but they
can be developed. A test of this proposi-
tion is usually apparent at any State Asso-
ciation meeting. Isn't it usually true thai
all of the talking (and therefrom the shap
ing of policy, etc.) is done by less than five
per cent, of the members present? Th(
failure to participate by the other ninety
five per cent, is not due to the lack ol
equally worth-while ideas, but it due to
fear of giving their opinions because thej
don't feel able to express themselves befon
an audience.
The Pharmacy Senate gives the member!
a chance to practice speaking before ai
audience, an audience which is charitable
towards the mistakes which are bound to b(!
made at first. The meetings are started
by prepared introductions of the topic ol
discussion, followed by additions, correc
tions, variations, and deviations, but non<
of the opinions are read from script.
The topics are selected for their timeli
ness and importance with the purpose of in'
creasing the students' understanding anc
appreciation of Pharmacy as it is practiced
This is of special value to those student:
who have had very little contact with druj;
stores. However, most of the memberi
have had at least one year of active worl
in a pharmacy. At the first meeting tin
present status of barbiturate sales was con|
sidered, from which several interesting con!
elusions were derived. A partial list o
topics for later consideration are : the opeij
prescription department, price-cutting meth
ods and policy, open display ("pine boani
stores"), fair trade laws, the possibilities
and probabilities of a pharmaceutical laboj
union or guild, the limitation of drug sale!
to pharmacies, self-regulation of the dru?
industry, and the crime of some drug spe1
cialties.
Membership has been limited to thos
students who have indicated a willingness t
engage actively in the discussions. ij
other words, there are no members wh|
come only to listen. The chairmanship is r
volving, thus giving practice in this impof
tant function to as many as possible. A.
though the introductions of the topics an
much of the discussion is voluntary, th
members must be ready to present an in
promptu opinion when so indicated by th
chairman. To date the membership nurr
bers about twenty, with just about equ£
distribution among the four classes.

sale druggist, must be made directly, or
through his employees, only to wholesale or
retail druggists, and to purchasers who ac-
quire the product for legitimate external
use, such as hospitals, sanitariums, clinics,
turkish baths, athletic associations, physi-
cians, dentists, veterinarians, et cetera. This
product may be sold by retail druggists to
any of the foregoing, or in retail quantities
only to persons for external use. Sales to
such other persons must be made by a retail

who will write or stamp across the brand
label in contrasting colors the words 'Sold
by' followed by his (the pharmacist) name

The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
As stated at the outset, the regulation af-
fecting sales of this product by retail drug
stores through registered pharmacists, be-
came effective February 17, 1940. Eetail
drug stores, through their pharmacists, may
sell their stock of Rubbing Alcohol Com-
pound on hand, provided they observe the
requirement calling for the stamping of the
name and address of the store and the name
of the pharmacist dispensing it.
Stocks of Rubbing Alcohol Compound now
in the possession of persons not entitled to
sell same under the new regulation, may be
sold for external uses only, until the stock
is closed out.
While the regulation specifically provides
that sales of Rubbing Alcohol Compounds
may be made only by a licensed pharmacist,
at the same time it is believed that the Al-
cohol Tax Unit will issue a ruling providing
for the sale of this product by assistant
pharmacists.
It is true, also, that the regulation makes
no provision for the sale of Rubbing Alco-
hol by the physician-operated drug stores.
It is possible that this situation may be
overcome, if the physician can uphold the
position that his customers are his patients.
Both of these questions have arisen since
the promulgation of the new regulation.
These have been submitted to the Commis-
sioner of Internal Revenue, and are now
being considered.

SPRING IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER
By Alice Noble
Convention Time
1 "If winter comes, can spring be far be-
Lnd?" This age-old query has been asked
iany times and with each question and
bswer comes the consciousness that spring
, the very nicest season in the whole year —
ad springtime is also convention time! The
I". C. P. A. will hold its sixty-first annual
invention in Charlotte on May 21, 22, and
3 and it is not too early now for you to
^ake your plans to be on hand from the
rst to the last minute of this "biggest and
3st" meeting in the history of the Associa-
on. Ever since the announcement was
ade that we were to meet in Charlotte
itisfaction has been expressed that we were
* go to the Mecklenburg capital — the letters
lat have been coming in say "everybody is
bing." Charlotte druggists are making
aborate preparations to give you a good
me. The business sessions will be interest-
ig and helpful. Don't forget that R. P.
von is in charge of convention details which
,eans that everything will be perfect. AND
lON'T LET ANYTHING STAND IN THE
rAY OF YOUR BEING ON HAND
BEN THE GREAT DAY ROLLS
ROUND !
Magic Gardens
And speaking of spring Ave want to nien-
on a most delightful book Ave have just
bme across entitled "Magic Gardens," by
;osetta E. Clarkson. We haven't had time
> finish it but we have been enjoying the
iapters devoted to "Herbs in the FloAA-er
arden." The book should be of especial in-
rest to druggists who raise flowers as a
>bby, and Ave believe it Avould interest many
! their Avives. (We remember one year
ob Roy Copeland brought to the conven-
on a large bouquet of beautiful floAA-ers
! had raised.) The author of our book
iggests: "This spring do plan your garden
'id borders to include some of the herbs
'hich mingle so appropriately Avith your
>wers." Continuing in her enthusiasm for
■rb gardens Miss Clarkson says : "To con-
nce one particularly stubborn supporter of
)wers versus herbs, I went through a recent
>ok on perennials. I myself became much
terested in learning how many perennials
'e today used to some extent in medical
practice. I found some eighty plants in
this book listed in a commercial catalogue
of drugs noAV used in medical formulas. You
might be interested in a few of these
plants — hollyhock, English daisy, bachelor's
button, lily of the valley, bleeding heart,
sunflower, iris, peony, primrose, violet, fever-
feAv, crocus, squill, geum, pyrethrum, and
scabiosa." The sage question is asked:
"Could we moderns do better than folloAv
the example of our ancestors in making our
garden which Avill take on more of real
charm because of introducing the old-time
herbs?"
Tulip Time
We had a delightful visit today from W.
D. Welch, Jr., who is the proprietor of
Welch's Drug Store in Washington. It was
the first visit he had paid the School since
he graduated in 1928 — you just can't pry
these easterners aA\ay from the Tidewater
country. If they can get away from their
stores in the AA'inter they want to hunt and
Avhen vacation time rolls around in the
summer they just have to fish. Mr. Welch
Avas talking enthusiastically today of the-
gigantic tulip festival that is held in his
town every spring. It looks like everywhere
we turn things keep happening to get
"spring in our bones." We have always
wanted to make the trip to that festival and
after talking to Mr. Welch Ave are more
anxious than ever — those druggists Avho have
asked us each year to "come doAvn" had
better watch out for Ave are liable to accept
the invitation this time.
It Was Quite a Treat
We were in Raleigh a few days ago and
President Gattis took us out to his Person
St. Pharmacy, No. 2. We don't know when
we have enjoyed a vTisit more. The Presi-
dent and Mr. Wilkins Harden showed us the
pharmacy from "start to finish" and it was
a real joy to see the prescription room, the
lovely fixtures and up-to-date arrangement
of the pharmacy, the complete and well-
arranged stockrooms, etc. Of course, our
orderly soul was greatly impressed with how
spick and span everything was — it looked
like the staff had just finished spring clean-
ing, but we hear from the customers that it
looks that nice all the time!

had a fishing trip but the letter did not say
anything about the luck they had.

We understand that the Justus Pharmacy,
of Hendersonville, was greatly damaged by
fire on the night of February 10. We have
not been able to learn the particulars.
The Journal extends sympathy to Miss
Josephine Eldridge, of Carrboro, in the
death of her father, Jas. Eldridge, which
occurred on February 5 following a long
illness. Mr. Eldridge was a student of phar-
macy 1904-05 but had later majored in
education and held the degree of Ph.D. from
the University. He had been connected with
the university library for some time.
Dr. H. R. Totten, of the Department of
Botany, addressed the Student Branch of
the N.C.P.A. at the State University on the
evening of February 22. His lecture was
an illustrated one on "The Trees of the
Chapel Hill Eegion that Have Been Used
in Pharmacy."
S. P. Birkitt, of Jas. P. Stowe and Co.
of Charlotte, has applied for associate mem-
bership in the State Association.
The Economy Drug Store, located on the
corner of Main Street and Fifth Avenue,
Hendersonville, has been sold by R. G.
Scruggs to Charles W. Hunter and Richard
Watson. Mr. Watson has announced that
the pharmacy would be continued under the
same name and that no changes would be
made in its policy at the present time. Mr.
Watson graduated in pharmacy at the state
university in 1924, passing the state board
examinations the same year. He is a for-
mer resident of Tryon and lived in Texas
for some time. He has been in Henderson-
ville for the past two years with the above
mentioned store. His partner, Mr. Hunter,
is the son of the late F. V. Hunter, who
owned and operated Hunter's Pharmacy in
Hendersonville for many years in the same
location now occupied by the Economy Drug
Co.
The annual stockholders and directors
meeting of the American Druggists Fire In-
surance Co. was held in Cincinnati on Feb.
12. The annual report of the company con-
veyed the somewhat surprising fact that dur-
ing 1939 it had experienced 603 drug store
fire losses, "which would fairly indicate that
there had been over 1,500 large and small
drug store fires in the country through|
the year." P. J. Suttlemyre was re-eleq
as a director of the company. The meet
lasted over a period of three days.
Announcement is made by Chairman D.
Miller of the National First Aid Commitl

panied by a party of friends, are enjoying
delightful two-weeks motor trip to Florh
We saw the Gattises shortly before they 1<*
and they told us that they were "just gov
to head toward Florida and make stops
whatever resort towns their moods of i
moment dictated." That's what we call
ideal way to enjoy a vacation!
Announcement was made on Feb. 22 th
the center store location in the Southeaste
building, in Greensboro, now undergoi'
remodeling procedures, will be occupied '
the McDuffie-Eubanks Drug Co. The fi:1
is owned by Roger A. McDuffle and J. **
Eubanks and is one of the oldest pharmac:1
in the city. The change in location is ('
pected to be made about July 1st upon t
completion of present work which is bei;
made at a cost of approximately $40,0C
The drug store will be located on the ma
floor in spacious and attractive quarters, b
it will also have mezzanine space for sto;
and offices, and the basement will be us
for storage. The pharmacy will be air-cq
ditioned, will be lighted in modern su
merged fixtures, and the display cases w
be of red gumwood. Mr. McDuffie has a
nounced, "the soda fountain and cigar cou

Dec. 31, 1950. The location at 229 S. El
Street will be discontinued after the n(
store is completed.

n't Be Impatient With Fair Trade
if you think conditions under Fair Trade
bad — just ask one of your brother drug-
s in one of the non-Fair Trade states
t he thinks about the situation, and
ther or not he would like to work under
i laws," says Secretary John W. Dar-
el of the N. A. R. D. in a signed edi-
al in the Journal of Feb. 15. "Have
stopped to think where you would be
b these laws to be repealed tomorrow? I
j predict that if ever such a calamity
R to pass, the conditions previous to
r Trade will pale into insignificance be-
• the Roman holiday of price warring
we shall experience."
R Da r gavel's comments are made in
ning druggists not to tear down the
I Trade structure that they have built so
iiriously over a period of a quarter of a
ury merely because all of the thousands
djustments cannot be made within a few
t months. Give Fair Trade three to
years more, the Secretary predicts, and
ill have been accepted generally, opposi-
will have died out and conditions will
far better than today. "But to attempt
action; to attempt methods which might
nisconstrued in some quarters will bring
eral condemnation and disaster just as
are beginning to gain some favorable
gnition. It took years of our combined,
rdinated efforts to win Fair Trade. We
keep it and improve it by exercising
same methods."
"Uncle George" Honored
i the Greensboro Daily News for Feb. 11
he section entitled, "Among Our Neigh-
I there was a most delightful article
at "Uncle George" Pilkington, of Pitts-
Accompanying the news story was a
ndid picture of the popular druggist
i his dog, Rex. The article tells some-
g of Mr. Pilkington's early years in
land, of how he came to this country
iecome a farmer, but how in a short time
resumed the practice of pharmacy for
2h he had been trained at Westminster
ege in Yorkshire. Not interested in
tics the pharmacist "has an abiding
h in the tenets of the Masonic order in
h he has held membership for more than
: a century and in the Episcopal church
which he is a warden." Pharmacist
friends were greatly pleased with this gra-
cious tribute to a popular pharmacist.
Marriages
Announcement has been, made of the
marriage of Miss Josephine Catherine Pal-
mer, of Cleveland, and Van Devander Wells,
Jr., of Ealeigh, on Dec. 26 at the Church
of the Sacred Heart. Mr. Wells was licensed
as a pharmacist in this State in 1939 and
is now associated with Eckerd's Drug Store
in the Capital City.
Births
Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Melvin, of Roseborov
announce the birth of a son, John Shields,
on Feb. 6. The net weight of the young
man is 8 lbs., 6 oz.
Mr. and Mrs. Gamble M. BoweTs, II, an-
nounce the birth of a son at the Stuart
Circle Hospital in Richmond, Va., on Feb.
20. The name of the young man is Gamble'
McAllister Bowers, III, and he weighs
7% lbs. We understand the father, mother
and baby are doing well and the grand-
parents, "Mr. and Mrs. Jim", are "busting
with pride."
Deaths
David Nicholson Middleton, originally of
Goldsboro, died on Jan. 15 in the Fitzsim-
mons General Hospital for Veterans at
Denver, Col. Mr. Middleton was licensed
as a pharmacist in 1907 and for twenty
years practiced his profession in Goldsboro..
During the World War he saw service as a
pharmacist with the United States Navy.
He had been in Colorado for some time and
succumbed under an anesthetic while under-
going treatment for asthma.

Au Revoir
As announced last month the Executive Committee has appointed Professor I. W.
se as temporary managing editor of this Journal to replace this writer who will
on leave of absence from the University during the Spring and Summer and who
due to depart March 17. This, therefore, is a sort of farewell message to those
iders who may now and then have thumbed through the editorial pages with a
p occasionally to consider some of the points of view expressed.
It seems a long time ago that this Journal was set upon its way. During the
k*iod since that time toes have been stepped upon but never with malice. Compli-
Ints that have been paid have been inspired by simple sincerity. Opinions have
n expressed that perhaps too often have represented only a personal point of view,
metimes the work of managing editor has been a source of keen satisfaction;
netimes there has been a sense of unfitness and of futility. The modest successes
it have been made provide happy memories; the failures had best be left undis-
5sed. Other pens will now begin where this one stops. May these pages come
ve with interest and profit to those for whom this section is primarily intended —
i pharmacists of North Carolina.
For many years now two dates in each month have been fateful: the Fourteenth,
ich is Press Day; and the Twentieth, which is Proof Day. The whole material for
3h issue must first be made ready for the printers, and then, when it is in cold
3e, it must be exactly adjusted so that the final product is divisible by four. To

compulsory — cut down to thirty-two or else build up to thirty-six since the whole

Dues Must Earn Dividends
By Mrs. C. B. Miuler
Secretary Kansas Pharmaceutical Association
(We invited Mrs. Miller to contribute a guest
editorial for this month and her contribution
follows. She is serving this year as President
of the National Conference of Pharmaceutical As-
sociation Secretaries. We wish that you could
know Mrs. Miller. Gracious, a fluent speaker
who says much in a few words, she knows what
Pharmacy in Kansas needs, and if it can be
got she gets it. — Editor.)
If we have one hobby we ride in Kansas
it is this matter of organisation. For
we have tried both ways in our druggists'
group — first, being half-heartedly joined to-
gether for brotherly love and swell conven-
tions ; and second, being all tied up into
a representative working body which gets
things done. We like the second plan best!
We can look back, just a few years ago,
to the time when we would send out a com-
plaint and get not even a penny postal from
the offending company, in spite of the
better than 900 drug stores in the state.
Now with 90 per cent of the druggists paid
members in our Association, we really get
some attention from manufacturers, job-
bers, and other trade associations and legis-
lators.
Just how did we build our membership
from 30 per cent to 90 in three years' time?
Well, that's what I thought might be of
the most interest in this informal editorial
which Secretary Beard has been kind enough
to invite me to contribute.
There isn't any hokus-pokus about it.
Any Association which is willing to put
head-work and foot-work together, can do
it. It helps if you have a widely read maga-
zine. Our little monthly KPA News may
bring a smile because of its "country print-
ing"; but we know it is 100% read. We
keep it folksy and newsy; we talk about
our own problems, and bring the druggists,
through its pages, a resume of national
matters which they do not take time to
read.
Perhaps the secret of our organization is
that we put everybody to work on a four-
sided program of activity: membership,
finance, legislation and inter-professional
relations. We decentralize our activities so
that druggists in our three major cities j
not have any more say-so about things tli
the village druggist in a remote corner
the state.
1. We use the Captain Plan with
state set-up in its 105 counties with a I
tain from the Association membership
each county. Around him all activity ci
ters. Through him we can make one let
or one wire reach all the druggists,
selects a membership chairman who he
him in dues collection and telephoning
all-county meetings.
2. At our Annual Captains' Breakf;
the final morning of the Convention, we
the year's activity program before the m<
bership.
3. Right after the Convention, in Mai
the Secretary loads up the "Chewy" I
charts, maps and mimeographed mate;
for every druggist, and covers the state thI
county meetings. Every druggist recei
(a) the President's address for the 1
just closed; (b) the convention Resolutio
and (c) the itemized bills which the As>
eiation is seeking or opposing in the com
legislature.
4. Druggists tuck this list of sought
adverse legislation in their desks. It1
their "ace-in-the-hole" when candidates
the state legislature come in to pass
campaign cards and seek votes in the Aug)
primaries. Druggists can assure these woii
be legislators of support provided they
right on these bills.
5. Above our Captains are SupervisL'
one for each Congressional district, the
largest districts having co-supervisors. Th
men often travel with the Secretary, mak
county meetings and calling on individ
druggists in between.
6. We sold our druggists a jump in d
from $5 to $12 for the basic store, ri
in the depths of the depression. We l
only one complaint on the dues mere?

I". We win the ground we do, with legis-
lors, boards, our own membership, and
ii manufacturers, because we are not pan-
(judlers and high-pressure boys, but are
Icere members of a profession which is
tf-ing to better its own membership. We
per boycott; we urge cooperation. There
1 for example, nothing hotter in some sec-
ins than the wage and hour controversy.
E have been invited to speak at a forth-
lining State Labor meeting here, in order,
I the Commissioner explained, that his
jople might not be one-sided on this ques-
fcn, and might see both the employer and
I employee points of view.
[We have been invited also to assist in
fcvriting the Kansas State Board of Health
lies and regulations, especially as concerns
1 handling of drugs and pharmaceuticals.
We work to develop all possible leadership
the counties. Our Executive Committee
I our officers come right up through the
airs. The Kansas Association is a demoe-
cy; if we have any success, that is why.
Old Mose was running for dear life, with
funnel-shaped cloud of bees following

i"Why, Mose," a friend shouted after him,
big man like you wouldn't be afraid of
little bee, would you?"
"No sah, no sab," he shouted back, "Ah
o' could lick one little bee, yes sah! But,
ss, dat bunch am organized!"
An Important Proposal by the
Executive Committee
At a meeting several months ago the
xecutive Committee decided to recommend
the Charlotte convention that the fiscal
ar of the Association be changed to con-
rm with the calendar year. At present the
ical year begins June 1 and ends May 31
the following year.
The advantages of using the calendar year
ay briefly be summarized as follows:
1. This plan is the usual one for firms,
rporations, all national associations and
veral state associations.
2. The Association hereafter will cease
suing the large costly certificates of meni-
arship that are seldom framed or displayed
but will instead issue annually to every
dues-paid member a certificate about the
size of the Board's annual renewal license.
This can either be framed, or posted un-
framed at some conspicuous point in the
store without taking up much space. An
important feature of such a certificate is
to indicate prominently the period during
which a member is in good standing. At
present this period would either have to read
1940-1941, or else June 1, 1940 to May 31,
1941. If the first were used it could be
interpreted as the whole of 1940 and 1941
rather than 12 months. If the second were
used the amount of space necessary for
printing prominently the period covered by
the certificate would be unduly great. If,
however, the fiscal year followed the calen-
dar year, it would be necessary only to
print in bold red type the numerals 1940.
3. Most of the annual meetings are now
held in May. (This must be the date for
all inland conventions because of the heat
of later months.) Under the proposed plan
bills for dues would be mailed January 1st
which would allow members almost five
months to remit and be in good standing
at the convention.
4. Bookkeeping would be greatly simpli-
fied if the calendar year were adopted.
5. Confusion often results under the
present plan. A surprising number of mem-
bers who on June 1st receive bills for dues
marked let us say 1940-41, and who remit
will often get the impression later on that
they have paid for 1941 whereas they
actually have paid for only the first half
of the latter year. If, however, they are
billed for 1941 and pay they will easily
remember the period covered.
This writer who has acted as Treasurer
for many years endorses the proposal of
the Committee and recommends its accept-
ance at the Charlotte convention. Under its
terms members owing dues (always payable
in advance) on June 1st could do either of
two things: 1. Pay for the six months
terminating January 1st, or 2. pay for a
year and a half and be in good standing
for the following 18 months.
This question is more important than it
may seem and we hope that it will be given
serious consideration by members.

Miracle Medicine
Some time ago we were asked to analyze
a medicine for a layman. We are reproduc-
ing below the exact language and spelling
of the letter not to show up the person,
for his name is withheld, nor to make fun
of his lack of education, but because what
he says shows what easy victims many
laymen are to peddlers of "patent" medi-
cines. No matter how dangerous the drugs
sold may be, no matter if their sales talk
would sound ridiculous to a doctor or drug-
gist, they are quite successful in peddling
their stuff about and then in many instances
disappear leaving no trace behind. Over
the years we have had many such requests
as the above from laymen. We always de-
cline to make the analysis.
"Dear Sir:
"What will you charge me for anlysng a
stomach medicine that has two powders and
one liquid in it. Or I think that is all.
"The reason that I'm seek such., Some
time ago a man was stopping with us, and
my stomach has give me trouble for years.
And all medicines that I have taken dident
seem to do any good. So I was telling him
about it. And he said that he had cured
himself. And would fix me some if I would
take it. Well I thought that it would be
like all the rest wouldent do any good. And
dident ask where that he lived or get his
address. So he is gone and the medicine
has helped me more than any other. And
he went to the drug store and got the
things that he made it out of. And I ask
them all they don't rmember such a man
as they say they have hundreds weeklei
So I have some of the medicine left ai
that is the onley way that I can get mo
is to find out what is in it.
"I have a friend in Tamps, Fla. Thj
does that kind of work but he want
much for that, I think.
"So let me know your price. That is tl
chief thing.
"Will be mighty delectable for what y<
may do."
What Is Your Overhead?
Not long ago a druggist asserted that h
annual gross sales were about $30,000 ai
that overhead cost him somewhat more thg
$10,000 annually not counting his o^
salary! This statement stunned us. Mo:
than one third of sales went to cover ope
ating costs and this figure did not incluc
anything for the owner-manager! Beir
curious we began asking about the percen
age cost of doing business of five othl
druggists. The answers we received range
from a low of seventeen to the high figuj
cited above. These great differences set I
this query: "How many of the six actual^
knew what they were talking about?" Tj
be successful a retail pharmacist should ket,
a correct even if simple set of books. B
should buy wisely and sell profitably. Son,
fail in one or more of these three neede
attributes and yet stay in business. T(
often, however, they sooner or later are i
business for the other fellow's health.
WHEN DAY IS DONE
John G. Beard, Jr., Ensign, U.S.N.
(The following lines about his home and environment were written by a young naval officer "Som
where in the Pacific." — Editor.)
Nestled in the grasses of a meadow far away
A ruffled brownish timid bird is sitting on the ground.
Take me not to see her in the broadest light of day
Nor even during twilight when she makes her sweetest sound.
Never was I closer than a rooster's call to her,
And so there's charming mystery about her life and song.
One prosaic glimpse of her, too much afraid to stir,
Might shatter all that magic charm I've known and loved so long.
Would that I might always, though, when evening shadows close
Return to where a red-roofed house and oaks adorn a hill,
Where crickets, frogs, and chigoes live as Mother Nature chose
And out of darkest night there calls my magic wliippoorwill.

Burdensome Prescription Inventories
By H. C. McAllister
One of the most perplexing problems with
lich the pharmacists of all parts of our
state are faced is that
of familiarizing them-
selves with the numer-
ous new preparations
being placed on the
market. Aside from
being conversant with
these products, the fi-
nancial burden of
stocking them is be-
coming increasingly
ffficult. The past six-months period seems
f have brought the situation to the point
/ being acute. Many pharmacists are at a
hs to know what course to take because
fcse products are being detailed to the
I'ysicians by the manufacturers before the
lual source of supply makes them available
br distribution. The delay involved is irri-
jting to the patient, the physician and the
larniaeist.
:The frequency with which these eom-
jiints are heard makes it appear that some
|?ps should be taken to correct this un-
ijcessary delay in supplying medication and
I reduce its cost, since this has been a fur-
pr objection. Not only are these prepara-
Ins expensive when bought, but many are
'opular for a day'' and then forgotten,
living the pharmacist witli unused stocks
I hand. These stocks represent losses since
1 pharmacist has no method for their
['.position.
In seeking a remedy for the relief of
l?se conditions the question naturally
^ses, "Are these preparations necessary for
1} efficient treatment of disease?" A re-
"w of the formulae of the preparations
i roduced during the last year reveals that
lae products do not in all cases represent
iw agents in the treatment of disease.
I)st of them represent different combina-
l|ns of agents already established, or, are
ur duplications of other preparations by
different manufacturers. It cannot be said
that all of these products may be looked
upon as basic advances in therapy or in
mode of administration. Therefore, some are
not only unnecessary but undesirable from
the point of view of the patient, the physi-
cian and the pharmacist due to the added
cost involved in their distribution and the
difficulty experienced in obtaining these
products.
Let it not be inferred from the foregoing
statements that Ave are opposed to advances
being made in therapeutics. Bather, we are
wholeheartedly in support of progress and
anxious to do our part in furthering it. But
do these myriads of unnecessary agents not
"fog" the atmosphere and prevent the ready
acceptance of agents deserving a place of
importance ? Has the unrestricted competi-
tion among many manufacturers to secure
distribution of these various different com-
binations of established drugs and of dupli-
cated products not caused the pharmacist to
lose some of his confidence in the high pur-
pose of these manufacturers? Are these
things to the interest of the public health?
Could it not be that such conditions are in
some measure responsible for the Federal
Government's interest in a method of ren-
dering a less expensive and more efficient
health service?
The part to be played by the retail phar-
macist in the correction of these conditions
should be determined and proper steps taken
to get a program under way. We are sure
that every retail pharmacist in the state has
first-hand information on this subject and
we wish that he would make available the
benefits of his experience. A discussion of
several measures, which have been proposed
or are being tried in other localities will fol-
low in a later issue of the Journal. It is
our hope that sufficient interest will be
shown in this subject so that an effort will
be made at the coming convention to estab-
lish some kind of an organization for the
working out of this problem.

New Drug Law
First, Barbiturates. All derivatives of
irbiturie Acid such as Amytal, pheno-
jrbital, Luminal, etc., may be sold as
retofore, e.g., in accordance with the pro-
sions of the North Carolina Hypnotic
iw, provided the statement ' ' Warning —
ay be habit forming" is written, printed,
stamped upon the label of the package
which sold.
These items may be sold, of course, upon
lysician 's prescriptions, and obviously
ay be refilled. In such cases, however, the
be! must likewise bear the statement
Warning — May be habit forming ' ' unless
ich prescription bears the wording "Not
tillable, ' ' or some similar designation to
te effect that such prescription may not

ared to above, is not required to be placed
1 the label.
Second, Aminopyrine, Cinchophen, Neo-
nehophen, Sulfanilamide and all their de-
vatives may be sold only upon physician 's
inscription and may not be refilled.
Third, Dinitrophenol and Dinitrocresol
ay not be sold in any case, not even pur-
iiant to physician 's prescriptions,
i All products dispensed from the original
ackage of the manufacturer should be
beled in accordance with the labeling pro-
isions of the new Drug Act. (See Janu-
ry issue of Journal.)
Supplementary Rubbing Alcohol
Regulations
Under the provisions of the new Rubbing
Jcohol Regulation, promulgated January
8th and effective February 18th, 1940, no
rovision whatever was made for the sale
of Rubbing Alcohol Compound by any per-
son other than a licensed pharmacist, who
was required, at the time of sale, "To
write or stamp across the brand label in
contrasting colors 'Sold by' followed by
his name and the address of the retail drug
store where the sale was made."
In last month 's issue of the Journal this
Section carried an article explaining some-
what in detail the application of the pro-
visions of this new regulation. It was
pointed out and emphasized that while as-
sistant pharmacist and physician operated
drug stores were not entitled to sell Rub-
bing Alcohol Compounds, at the same time
it was believed that the Alcohol Tax Unit
would make provision for its sale by both
the assistant pharmacist and permitted phy-
sicians.
Both of these questions arose immediately
after the Rubbing Alcohol Compound Regu-
lation was promulgated and was submitted
to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue
through Mr. Rowland Jones, Washington
Representative of the N. A. R, D., Wash-
ington, D. C, who obtained the ruling which
follow.
SALES MAY BE MADE BY PHYSICIANS
"Since Treasury Decision 4963 specifically pro-
vides that sales at retail must be made through
a registered pharmacist, any person desiring to
make sales at retail drug stores must meet the
requirement of a 'registered pharmacist.' A phy-
sician, empowered by the laws of the state in
which he practices to compound prescriptions or
otherwise perform the functions of a registered
pharmacist, will be considered to be a registered
pharmacist within the purview of the regula-
tion.
"Therefore, if a physician, duly licensed by
the state in which he practices, conducts a retail
drug store, compounds prescriptions, and per-
forms all the functions generally attributed to a
registered pharmacist, he meets all the funda-
mental requirements of the treasury decision.
"Accordingly, this office sees no reason why he
should not sell rubbing alcohol compound, pro-
vided that, at the time of sale, he writes or stamps
across the brand label in contrasting colors the
words 'Sold by' followed by his name and the
address of his retail drug store.
"A practicing physician authorized by the laws
of the state in which he is duly licensed to com-
pound prescriptions, to dispense drugs and to
perform all the functions generally attributed to
a registered pharmacist, may be considered to be
a retail druggist and a registered pharmacist
within the purview of the regulation. Therefore,
he may make sales of rubbing alcohol compound,
provided that, at the time of sale, he writes or
stamps across the brand label in contrasting colors

WE PAUSE FOR REFLECTION
By Alice Noble
Busy Weeks Ahead
The pharmaceutical calendar has many
' ' red letter clays ' ' in the weeks ahead.
First of all there is the meeting of the
American Pharmaceutical Association in
Richmond, Va., May 6-11. Nearly every day
we have a letter from some Virginia friend
and each convinces us that the meeting is
going to be one of the most interesting and
profitable in the history of the A. Ph. A.
President Gattis has appointed the follow-
ing as delegates from the N.C.P.A.: C. C.
Fordham, Jr., Greensboro, Chairman; A. C.
Cecil, High Point ; Jos. Hollingsworth,
Mount Airy ; P. J. Suttlemyre, Hickory ;
and C. E. Whitehead, Ramseur.
Then on May 14-15 there will be the
U. S. Pharmacopoeial Convention in Wash-
ington. The following have been selected as
the delegates from the Association to this
important meeting: I. T. Reamer, Durham;
Warren W. Home, Fayetteville ; and John
A. Goode, Asheville. The alternates are
C. C. Fordham, Jr.; Carl T. Durham, Chapel
Hill ; and Ralph P. Rogers, Durham.
And then we must put down in the big-
gest and boldest type of all our own As-
sociation meeting in Charlotte on May
21-22-23. Have you made your reservation
yet? You had better attend to this detail
at once for every indication points to a
tremendous crowd and a splendid conven-
tion. President Gattis has been over to our
offices several times outlining his plans for
the program — there are several surprises in
store for you.
National First Aid Week
And while we are talking about impor-
tant dates we should mention National First
Aid Week on May 19-25. After the long-
dreary winter everybody is going to wel-
come the opportunity to spend as much time
as possible outdoors. We are outdoor con-
scious already and are thinking "of auto
rides, picnics, vacations, swimming parties
and every other refreshing activity that
makes summer a season of freedom." "Will
our public remember to pack a first aid kit
in the family auto, just to be ready for
those outdoor scratches and bruises that
may lead to expensive infections? There is
also the preparedness personified by a home
medicine cabinet well stocked with first aid
materials. For the druggists of the nation,
National First Aid Week should be a tii
for making the public preparedness c(
scious. This year the Federal Wholesj
Druggists ' Association is offering a beau
ful trophy to the druggist who prepai
the best window of first aid materials di
ing National First Aid Week. Not only c
the druggist stimulate public interest
first aid through window displays in 1
own store, but he can also do much to pfl
licize first aid needs and knowledge throuj
his local newspapers, radio station ai
community groups. To help materially
this respect, the N.A.R.D. is preparing I
Activity Kit, consisting of articles, tal1
for radio, club and luncheon gathering
spot radio announcements, a man-on-tW
street script, touching upon all the aspee!
of first aid preparedness. The Activity K
is available by writing to the N.A.R.D., 2d
West Wacker Drive, Chicago."
A Word to the Wise
A reporter recently sent us a number
items of interest for this column and pleas<j
us a great deal by saying, ' ' I will make

Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Fishel, Professor and
Mrs. I. W. Rose suffered painful injuries on
the late afternoon of March 2-4 when their
car was struck by another automobile on
the edge of Burlington. Their son, Win-
field, who accompanied them, escaped with-
out injury. Professor Rose received minor
bruises but was able to return to Chapel
Hill almost immediately. Mrs. Rose was
taken to the Alamance General Hospital
where her collar bone, several ribs, and pel-
vis bone were found to be fractured. Latest
reports are to the effect that she is resting
comfortably. The car was pretty badly
torn up.
Deaths
Elmer Otis Edgerton, aged 57, proprietor
of Edgerton's Drug Store, in Raleigh, died
at Rex Hospital on March 5 after a week's
illness. A native of Smithfield, he had been
connected with Raleigh drug stores for sev-
eral years. He is survived by his widow,
formerly Miss Susie Ives, of Smithfield, and
several children.
Druggists all over the state were shocked
to learn of the death on Feb. 29 of Walter
Scott, Sr., greatly beloved citizen of Char-
lotte and president of the Scott Drug Co.
He died in a Charlotte hospital following an
illness of only two days. As head of one
of the largest wholesale drug companies in
this section he had endeared himself to drug-
gists all over the state. He had become as-
sociated with the Scott Drug Co. two years
after its founding fifty years ago by his
brother, John M. Scott. He had also taken
a prominent part in the business and reli-
gious life of the Queen City. He was greatly
interested in the State University School of
Pharmacy and through him the Scott Drug
Co. Scholarship was established at the insti-
tution for needy students of pharmacy. Stu-
dents of the University join the Journal
and the State Association in extending sin-
eerest sympathy to the family of Mr. Scott.
We remember him most pleasantly at the
last Association meeting in Charlotte — the
interest he took in making the convention a
success and in his role as one of the local
hosts how much he contributed to the pleas-
ure of the visiting pharmacists.

attain the status of a registered pharmacist. T
statutes confer upon assistant registered pharn

general statements, but they are of a minor chi

held their licenses continually since
is year will mark the sixth time the
nation has met in Charlotte. It first
med there in 1884 with L. E. Wriston
oeal Secretary. Again it met in the
a City in 1898 with W. H. Wearn in
\e of local arrangements; and in 1910
J. P. Woodall as Local Secretary. In
E. K. Blair handled convention ar-
rangements while in 1933 J. P. Stowe was
Local Secretary. This year E. P. Lyon car-
ries on the fine work of his predecessors.
The following Charlotte pharmacists have
served as president of the X.C.P.A.: W. H.
Wearn in 1891-1892; E. H. Jordan, 1900-01 ;
J. P. Stowe, 1924-25; and E. F. Eimmer,
1934-35. (T. A. Walker was elected for the
year 1931-32 but resigned.) Messrs. Wearn
and Stowe also served as members of the
Board of Pharmacy and another Charlotte
pharmacist, J. A. Henderson, was an ex-
aminer 1925-2(3. Then we should mention
G. E. Burwell who was treasurer 1909-1917.
When we thumb through the Proceedings
of yesteryears we come across name after
name of Charlotte personages who have con-
tributed a constructive part in the Associa-
tion's advancement. We should like to list
here such leaders but a fear of omitting
some name prevents us. We are all glad
that we are meeting again in the Queen
City. We are looking forward to the seri-
ous part of the convention; to the many
pleasurable entertainment features that have
been arranged for our enjoyment; and to
renewing friendships with the Charlotte
people who have made the conventions
through the years such delightful occasions.

MAY-TIME IS CONVENTION TIME
By Alice Noble
Our Convention City
Charlotte's beginning was in Colonial
is, and its traditions are associated with
earliest aspirations for American inde-
lence. Its aspect today is of a busy
of the New South. It typifies the in-
rialization of the Carolina Piedmont
1 which it draws much of its life and
e. The business streets present a busy,
■moving tempo, as the city is the trad-
center of a wide area in two States with
ipulation of a half -million people."
For Your Information
■FORMATION about all points of in-
1 — in fact everything a visitor may
t to know — may be obtained from the
nber of Commerce, 123 W. 4th St., or
i A. L. Beehtold, who has a desk in the
1 of the Hotel Charlotte.
iVXIS: Cruisers, 10c, baggage extra;
on call, four passengers 25c within
limits.
:TY BUSES: Fare, 7c; meet on Inde-
lence Square.
RAFFIC REGULATIONS: No turns
[ndependence Square ; 30 min. parking
owntown section; other regulations in-
ted by signs.
The Thrill of the Convention
n't it funny how each year as conven-
time comes around you have an inde-
lable thrill? I have been going to the
ings for many a year but I am looking
fard to this one just as excitedly as I
the first one when I was scared to death
I wasn't a good enough stenographer
•eport a convention accurately. The
ght of seeing so many old friends and
ring new ones is a pleasant one, the
less sessions are always interesting, and
entertainment program is so full of de-
ful affairs that anyone would be will-
to ' ' walk more than a mile " to be on
We hope everybody will be there!
Reports to Be Summarized
a recent meeting of the Executive
mittee it was decided that all reports
to be summarized instead of presented
etail. Of course, the complete reports
be printed in the Proceedings. The plan
not only allow the Association to get a
clear idea of the activities of each com-
mittee during the year, but it will leave
more time for the discussion of other mat-
ters of vital concern to the Association.
President and Secretary
At the close of the 1920 Association meet-
ing in Charlotte, First Vice-President I. W.
Eose was elevated to the presidency. This
year he will serve as Secretary-Treasurer.
We are hoping that Mrs. Rose will have
recovered sufficiently from her recent auto-
mobile accident to be able to go to Char-
lotte with him. She is rapidly recovering
but is still confined to her room.
Turner Currens to Be with Us!
As our old friend Turner Currens, of the
House of Norwich, was busy cleaning up
his desk to sail for a four- or five-weeks
trip to South America the other day he took
time to write us that he hoped to be with
us at the convention. He will not get back
to New York until May 11, but he assures
us that he will let nothing stand in the
way of his attendance in Charlotte. We
are counting strongly on him — it has been
several years since he signed the registra-
tion book — too long in fact and we are
looking forward to having him with us this
time, and to his taking part in the discus-
sions of the business sessions. He has been
devoting a great deal of time recently to
the study of the subject of "Vitamins,"
which he considers "the biggest single
thing in the retail drug business today. ' '
We shall look forward to hearing what he
has to say on the subject.
We'll Miss You an Awful Lot!
We cannot end this page without saying
how much we are going to miss Dean J. G.
Beard at the convention. For nineteen years
(plus two summers) I have been connected
with his office and I know how much the
Association has meant to him as well as the
long and devoted service he has given to his
profession. And so I hope I may have the
privilege of joining his many friends among
the druggists of the State in expressing re-
gret that he will be unable to attend the
meeting this year and the hope that he may
derive much pleasure and benefit from his
leave of absence.

A Word to the Men
ir Druggist :
lave you given thought to what your
e gets from the convention — to what the
men's Auxiliary as a body has to do
h the convention ? Suppose for a moment
wives attend — that there was no Wo-
fl's Auxiliary. Do you think the con-
tion could have grown to be the largest
ended in the State without the women's
operation? Would you be so keen to go
each year if it was a stag affair? After
all, the women are there to promote the in-
terests of your profession. Give them a
break — a few days diversion — and let them
meet the helpmates of others in the same
predicament you are in. The Auxiliary
needs the support of all "Pharmacettes."
Help us to help you by bringing your wife
to Charlotte for the Convention!

President, Women's Auxiliary

Burdensome Prescription Inventories1
Bv H. C. McAllister
In the April issue of the Journal we dis-
cussed the problem of stocking and supply-
ing the many new pharmaceutical specialties
which are "flooding" the market at present.
We also expressed the hope that the interest
of the pharmacist might be crystalized to
the point of finding expression at the annual
convention of the N. C. P. A.
In pursuing this subject further it is our
purpose to mention several plans for the
solution of this problem which have enjoyed
varying degrees of effectiveness in other
localities.
The success of these pharmaceutical
specialties has been due primarily to four
things:
1. Convenience of prescribing for the phy-
sician.
2. Lack of training on the part of the
physician to write prescriptions for the type
of medication he desires.
3. Intensive "detailing" of physicians by
representatives of pharmaceutical manufac-
turers.
4. Lack of uniformity of compounded pre-
scriptions.
There are no doubt other contributing
factors, but the four mentioned are most
important. Many readers will probably take
issue with us on No. 4, but we have investi-
gated this point and have found grounds
for objection. Any program designed to
effect a change in the type of medicinals
distributed must consider this phase of the
problem.
As was mentioned in our preceding dis-
cussion, we do not oppose any contribution
made through the introduction of more ef-
fective agents or more effective efficient
methods of administration. Our objection
is to the introduction of unnecessary combi-
nations of established drugs and the dupli-
cation of these or other new agents already
introduced by some other company (usually
one who has expended large sums for in-
vestigative work). The items that make up
this classification cause the greatest amount

April issue.
of confusion and are responsible for
largest increase in the number of prep
tions in the prescription stock. It se
therefore, that this variety of products
quires our special attention if we art
improve our pharmaceutical service to
public and become more effective aids to
physician.
Examination of the formulae of manj
these unnecessary preparations reveals
they are similar in many respects to
official products or combinations of tl
any of which could be obtained by the ]
sician if so ordered on a prescription
explanation of why they are used so ex
sively may be found in the first three po
mentioned above. It is reasonable to !
pose that if we as retail pharmacists "v
able to satisfy the requirements of t;
three points and correct the fourth and
less cost to the patient, our program w(j
be successful. There have been sevi
methods proposed to meet these requ
ments and are in use in other states v
successes commensurate with the efforts ,
pended in their behalf.
The American Medical Association
realized the need for such a program
with the co-operation of the American Pll
maceutical Association has had it u|
way for several years. However, few
tail pharmacists have made it available
their localities. An outline of this progi
is as follows :
1. Every other week there appears in
Journal of the A. M. A. an article on '
treatment of some type of condition, such
"Upper Eespiratory Infections," by a ree
nized authority, and prescriptions are s
gested.
2. Reprints of these articles are avail
to the retail pharmacists through the A
A. in a suitable form to be placed irj
binder.
3. These reprints are presented to
physicians by the pharmacists with samj
of the compounded prescriptions, if desiri

In a recent issue of the Journal we
mentioned that the Smith Brothers Drug
Co. was moving from Greensboro to Raleigh.
This was an error. We thought the source
of our information was reliable and we wish
to apologize to the company for the error.
J. P. Smith, president of the firm, writes:
"We have leased temporary quarters at 524
Prescott St., Greensboro, and are now mak-
ing plans to build a plant to house our
laboratory and offices outside the city on
Route 220. We hope to break ground for
this new building about the middle of
April, witli the further hope that we will be
able to occupy it by the middle of June."

An Apology
In the April issue of the Joubxal we
carried an account of the visit of a large
party, composed mostly of students of phar-
macy at the State University, to the labora-
tories of Parke, Davis and Co. in Detroit.
We failed to mention, however, one of the
very nicest features of the trip. B. F.
Page, of the W. H. King Drug Co., of
Raleigh, with his usual generosity, sent a
cheek to the University authorities to take
care of the meals of the students on the
journey. While in Detroit they were guests
of Parke, Davis. This financial assistance
of Mr. Page made it possible for many of
the group to take the trip and we are very
sorry indeed that we failed to mention his
thoughtfulness in our previous issue.

Mr. and Mrs. Otis Millis Crawford, of
Chapel Hill, announce the marriage of their
daughter, Euth, to Lovett Aldin Warren,
Jr., of Garland and Wilmington, in the
First Baptist church on the evening of
April 27. Mr. Warren is the son and name-
sake of L. A. Warren, Sr., pharmacist of
Garland. He graduated from the State
University last June with the degree of
S.B. in Pharmacy and passed the State
Board of Pharmacy examinations a few
days later. Since that time he has been as-
sociated with Hall's Drug Store, of Wil-
mington, and the young couple will make
their home at 210 Forest Hill Drive in the
Cape Fear city. The wedding, coming as it
did during the week-end of the School of
Pharmacy dances, caused considerable in-
terest among the students and alumni,
many of whom had been in the University
with the bridegroom. A large number of
those attending the dances were present for
the wedding.
North Carolinians were particularly in-
terested in the announcement of the mar-
riage of Miss Geneva Helen Surratt, of
Washington, D. C, and Spencer, and Row-
land Jones, Jr., on March 21, at St. A:

macist the opportunity to show the i

Several state associations have under
to solve the problem in the same basic

standard filing cards which fit into a
metal box. This box, having printed

more cards are added to the box and a

convenient to use but does not have thj

% According to medical history, the first accurate re-
port of a case of pernicious anemia was made in 1822.
For more than a century thereafter the disease con-
tinued to be almost universally fatal. Arsenic and
transfusions were used, but did little more than post-
pone the issue. Then in 1925 came the studies of
Whipple and Robscheit-Robbins, followed by the work
of Minot and Murphy, which soon led to the liver
extracts so widely prescribed today.
Eli Lilly and Company is proud to have had a part
in this development. It was the Lilly man in your
territory who first placed liver extract, in any form,
at the disposal of your physicians. His work has con-
tinued without interruption, and during the month of
May he is featuring liver extracts in all his professional
interviews, with special emphasis on 'Lextron' (Liver-
Stomach Concentrate with Ferric Iron and Vitamin B
Complex, Lilly) and 'Reticulogen' (Parenteral Liver
Extract with Vitamin Bi, Lilly). It will pay you to
co-operate with your Lilly man. He works for you,
never against you. That is the Lilly Policy.

resident Gattis made a fine presiding officer and the several committee chairmen
lied their assignments in splendid style. Interesting and instructive programs were
pnted by the Papers and Queries Committee under the leadership of Chairman Rimmer
f the Committee on Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing under the direction of
Lrman Reamer. The papers covered a wide range of thought and showed careful study,
ked interest was displayed in the professional side of pharmacy and there were a
ter number of papers presented on this subject than ever before.
The several guest speakers contributed an inspiring and helpful part to the program.
the first time in the history of the Association the President of the N. C. Medical
ety was present and addressed the convention. We are deeply indebted to Dr. Hubert
Avood for coming to us and for his address on "Professional Relations."
Several other speeches stand out as high lights in the program, notably the Presi-
:ial Address of Phil Gattis, the addresses of E. C. Billheimer, Assistant Vice-Presi-
: in Charge of Manufacturing of E. R. Squibb and Sons, and Turner F. Currens,
i-President of the Norwich Pharmaeal Co., both of whom spoke on the subject of
tamins," the first from a scientific angle and the second from a commercial stand-
it; the speeches of Vice-President, L. 0. Heideman, of the Neilsen Drug Index; of
R. Mull, Manager, Trade Advertising, Eli Lilly and Co., on "Inter-Professional R-ela-
s;" of Ralph Clark, Director of the Pharmacy Service Department, Merck and Co.,
"Trends in Pharmacy," and the talk of Carl Goerch.
Every one was delighted that Pharmacist-Congressman Carl T. Durham arranged his
schedule so as to be present. His timely remarks brought round after round of
lause from his fellow druggists.
The Women's Auxiliary announced that they had added $162.00 during the year to
r Loan Fund for needy pharmacy students at the State University.
The Student Branch had a splendid display just outside of the convention hall and
esentatives of the organization were in attendance. Two of the members presented
ers before the Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing Section and the report of the Secre-
7 showed that the Branch has had a most successful year.
Secretary Rose reported that there are now 857 members in the N. C. P. A. The
owing new members were accepted at the Charlotte meeting : Shelton B. Boyd, of
h Point; Thomas M. Bruce, of Hot Springs; Marion M. Edmonds and Henry M.

Secretary F. W. Hancock, of the Board of Pharmacy, announced that there are 1,
pharmacists in North Carolina and 910 drug stores. There are 18 women pharmac:
and 58 hold assistant pharmacist licenses.
Fair Trade occupied a prominent part in the convention proceedings : "If we are
keep Fair Trade we must give it the support to which it is entitled."
Winton Blair Rankin, of Boone, won the Beal Membership Prize for 1939.
The Association acted favorably upon the following matters: (1) The fiscal year
be identical with the calendar year; (2) the Secretary is to visit every drug store betw
conventions; (3) Pharmacists who have reached the age of 65 are to be given I
Memberships in the Association; (4) Members of the Board of Pharmacy are to be elec
for a five-year term (as formerly) but such members cannot succeed themselves. 1
provision will not prohibit the re-election of any member of the present Board for
additional term.
Regret was expressed on all sides that J. G. Beard had resigned as Seeretary-Treasii
of the Association and as Managing Editor of the Journal. Suitable resolutions 9
sent to him in appreciation of his long and splendid service. He was made histoi
of the Association and in this capacity will be custodian of the historical and biograph
materia] of the organization.
Floyd Goodrich, the genial and efficient secretary-treasurer of the T. M. A.,
greatly missed at the convention. Friends were distressed to learn that he was ill
home with pneumonia and many messages of sympathy were sent to him.
The following officers of the Association were installed at the final session: Presid
Jos. Hollingsworth, of Mount Airy; First Vice-President, Ralph P. Rogers, of Durh;
Second Vice-President, Paul B. Bissette, of Wilson; Third Vice-President, W. M. Sal'
of Asheville ; and Member of the Executive Committee for a Three-Year Term, Phill
Gattis, of Raleigh. (The two elected members of the Executive Committee who art
be continued from last year are P. J. Suttlemyre, of Hickory, and C. C. Fordham,
of Greensboro.) M. B. Melvin, of Raleigh, was re-elected as a member of the Board
Pharmacy.
The T. M. A. elected the following officers: President, C. H. Smith, of Charlo
Vice-President, M. B. Moury, of Greensboro; and Secretary-Treasurer, J. F. Goodi1
of Durham.
The Women's Auxiliary chose the following: President, Mrs. J. K. Civil, of C

E. P. Crawford, of Lenoir; Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs. H. L. Bizzell, of Charlotte;
Parliamentarian, Mrs. D. D. Hocutt, of Henderson.
The following are the nominees for offices for 1941-42 to be voted upon by i

Three-Year Term, Jos. Hollingsworth, of Mount Airy, and R. P. Lyon, of Charlotte.
The 1941 convention will be held in Durham, the date to be determined later.
And then last, but by no means least — the entertainment program. Local Seerefl
R. P. Lyon and his committee of Charlotte druggists, assisted by Mrs. J. B. Hud
and her several entertainment committees, had every detail arranged for a most H
eessful convention. The T. M. A., the House of Lance, Southern Dairies, Burwell fll
Dunn, the Scott Drug Co., Pet Dairy Products Co., the Biltmore Dairy Farms, and otn
entertained us royally. The social features were many, varied and delightful. t\

Limiting Sales

rish herein to answer the article which
ired in the March issue of the Journal
e question of limiting sales of barbitu-
to prescriptions only,
such is to be done would it not be wise

items as cigarettes, sandwiches, tooth-
, C. C. pills, Lysol, carbolic acid, and
oride tablets? Wouldn't it be wise
to include cartridges and gun shells?

ay of prescription, the unfortunate one,

cord that of the 105 deaths due to the
)f Sulfanylamide Elixir, exactly 100 of
came by way of the prescription route,
a't is actually true that the retail drug
iiess is so abused and restricted by lob-
g and undercover work that the situa-
is now almost unbearable? If such con-
ks, as is now the vogue, just how many
s will it be before a few rich firms eon-
all of the business?
can't resist offering just a few illus-
ons which I think will show you how
wealthy drug firms in collusion with
manufacturers are so easily taking ad-
age of their position. Naturally they
claim and advertise that such is pos-
by reason of their buying power,
ist three weeks ago the salesman of
of the largest and best-known manu-
facturing drug firms came in to see me
and to notify me that in two days I would
be prosecuted should I sell a certain brand
of their tablets in their boxes of 1 dozen
for less than 25e. At the very same time
this firm was allowing one, whom I choose
to call their "pet cutter," to flood the town
with them at the rate of 6 l-10c per dozen.
(For the benefit of the editor I am herein
enclosing an advertisement to prove this
statement. ) I asked the salesman to give
me the price on the size quantity this "pet
cutter" was getting, but the gentleman ac-
knowledged that he did not know. I guess
that such must be a secret! I wonder why?
The Fair Trade Act (H. R. 8442) reads
as follows: "That it shall be unlawful for
any person engaged in commerce ; in the
course of such commerce, either directly or
indirectly, to discriminate in price between
different purchasers of such commodities of
like grade and quality.''
Another illustration of a flagrant viola-
tion of the spirit of this Act : A retailer
was sued by a manufacturer for the selling
of Insulin at a few cents cut rate but dur-
ing the proceedings the manufacturer was
selling the druggist its cold capsules in
quantity lots at the rate of 20 capsules
for 51c with a resale price as low as 80c
while I, engaged in the same business, must
pay, as a competitive retailer, $1.02 for a
like number with an indictment if I resold
them for less than $1.50 for the same 20
capsules.
It is my honest opinion that we 80% of
the 860 licensed drug stores in the State,
who come in a capital stock bracket of
$15,000 or less should organize a Druggist
Retail Protective Association, independent of
all other associations, for the purpose of
fighting for our legal and our moral rights
now covered by laws already passed. We
should have an association so well organ-
ized that we will be able to get an audience
with the administrator of the Fair Trade
Act or any manufacturer Avho is now and

"BURDENSOME PRESCRIPTION INVENTORIES1
Biltmore, N. C,
May 2, 1940.
To the Editor:
I read with great interest Mr. McAllis-
ter's article in the April issue of the Jour-
nal entitled, "Burdensome Prescription In-
ventories." I am not a drug store owner
but I do have an active interest in my pro-
fession and I have put much thought and
time into the "Specialty" problem in an ef-
fort to understand clearly why the doctor
insists upon prescribing specialty products
that wholly contain, or are mainly composed
of, IT. S. P. or N. F. products. Such prod-
ucts are trade-marked and the patient pays
a premium for them. Without a doubt such
preparations entail a greater expense to the
patient and the pharmacist bears the brunt
of the customer's complaint about high
priced medicine. To cite an example: con-
sider the cost of a prescription for Elixir
Phenobarbital, N. F., or Phenobarbital
Soluble in Aromatic Elixir against the cost
of several almost identical specialty prod-
ucts presented to the physician under a
trade-marked name.
The advertising used by the manufac-
turers in bringing the product to the atten-
tion of the doctor through the various medi-
cal journals and by personal detail work,
employs the same psychology that sells
"mamma" and "poppa" their soap, shoe
strings, tooth paste and radios. I believe
this to be one factor in the problem: the
doctor succumbs to the high-pressure ad-
vertising methods of the manufacturer.
When we read these advertisements care-
fully we are given the impression that the
manufacturer is attempting to do the pre-
scribing of medicine for the doctor. But
after all, the object of the manufacturer is
to do the best possible job of selling. That's
business.
Why must there be thousands of special-
ties when (with few exceptions) the same
product with the same therapeutic effect can
be obtained by a prescription of official
drugs and chemicals'? Such a prescription
would also have the advantage of giving the
particular patient the exact amount of medi-
cation needed. T have interviewed several
doctors and dentists upon the subject and
I have found their answers pretty clearly
defined. All of those interviewed were of
the same opinion and their views can be
expressed in the statement of an ear, eye,
nose and throat specialist. He declare<
believe the prescribing of specialties ii
to the lack of time to write a prescri
to be compounded. It is much eashj
write off a specialty instead of takinj
time to write a prescription to be
pounded. It is true, however, that the
product in a number of cases could be
ten out of the U. S. P. and N. F." A
tor of dental surgery explained that
reason for using specialties was chiefly
to the i ersonality and salesmanship ol
detail man.
The doctor first quoted also made a
gestion to remedy the necessity for floe
prescription stocks with specialties. Leg
tion might be obtained, or at least a
posal should be made to the manufactu
backed by the State Association, that
take up unused stock after a period o:
to twelve months and refund the pha
cist's money. It should be stated tha

Tennessee Fair Trade Bureau 1937-
1940 Died for Lack of Financial
Support
For more than a quartery-eentury, the7'
drug industry of Tennessee had hoped,
prayed and worked for a realization of
price protection against nefarious price
cutters and unscrupulous chiselers. On
February 16, 1937, Fair Trade was born
to the druggists of Tennessee. In the three
short years of its existence, it showed the
promise of realization of most of the fond
hopes and dreams that the fond parent of
this legislation had hoped and prayed and
worked for.
It stopped the nefarious price cutters and
chiselers, it stabilized the price of nearly
five thousand items that allowed the retail
druggists to know exactly the least at which
these commodities could be legally sold.
Its mandates and dictations were obeyed
without hesitancy by all who were affected
in the grand old Volunteer State, but — alas
and alack — it continued to emaciate and
dwindle from lack of proper financial assist-
ance until those who had hoped and prayed
and worked for its existence allowed it,
through the narrow channels of petty jeal-
ousy and short-sightedness, to die and cease
its existence after three short years of life
that were filled with activity for the benefit
of those who caused its creation.
It is hard to conceive of intelligent men
who have their life savings invested in an
industry, the existence of which is so vi
entwined with the life and perpetuatid
Fair Trade, to sit idly by and allow
great emancipator whose future was
coming brighter each day, and whose p
was broadening to more general fields

It may be that it was the persomn

Fair Trade caused this indifference to
its existence, for we realize that mist
have been made, and bad judgment has
exercised at times, but we are sure that
entire personnel of your Fair Trade Bu
stands ready and stood ready, at any 1
to step aside and make room for those ^
capable, when and if they had been sele
by the druggists of Tennessee.
We realize our misgivings and short
ings, but we have pleaded on numerous
casions for constructive criticisms and
gestions and have given an attentive
responsive ear to all that have come,
with all of that, the druggists of Teimt
have failed to cooperate to the exten

nd that is not all. When the Fair Trade
•eau has ceased to operate, our uptown
?e will have to be closed and the secre-
of your Association will revert back to

have, under the present financial set-up,

NTote: The above article appeared in a
lent issue of the Tennessee Pharmacist, a
monthly bulletin edited by Mr. Tom C.
Sharpe, Secretary to the Tennessee Pharma-
ceutical Association and Director of the
Fair Trade Bureau Incorporated, Nashville,
Tennessee. The caption "Tennessee Fair
Trade Bureau 1937-1940 Died for Lack of
Financial Support" appeared on the front
page of this publication and was inscribed
upon a tombstone of a grave beside which
lay a more or less decomposed body. When
this particular article was written and
mailed to the drug stores of Tennessee, the
Fair Trade Committee had no funds with
which to continue to carry on its work.
So forceful was this appeal, however, that
the druggists in that State responded almost
immediately with checks totaling but slight-
ly less than $2,000. Consequently, the Fair
Trade Movement did not die and remains
a potent factor there. It is published here
with the hope that it will bestir a like in-
terest for Fair Trade among the druggists
of North Carolina as was the case in the
sister State of Tennessee.
N. A. R. D. Undertakes Study of
Price Discrimination
Evidence was presented to the Executive
immittee of the N. A. B. D. at its recent
ieting, that some pharmaceutical houses
3 selling their products to hospital dis-
nsaries at prices so low that they can
sell them to patients and physicians for
!S than retail druggists pay for them.
le Executive Committee directed that a
ady be made and that all legal measures
taken to stop this form of discrimination.
/itamins in Capsules and Tablets
Are Drugs
In the opinion of the members of the
. A. B. D. Executive Committee, concen-
ated vitamins, packed in capsules, bottles
• tablets, are drugs rather than foods; and
e public welfare demands that they should
? handled and sold as remedial agents,
uler the protection accorded by the govern-
ent to other remedial agencies. These prod-
>ts are standardized according to medical
'quirements, and are used not merely as
ourishing agents but as means of building
p the patient's health ; they are potent and
re, therefore, subject to abuse as well as
se, and their sale should lie made under
le supervision of trained pharmacists.
At a meeting held in Chicago recently the
Executive Committee decided to oppose the
Food and Drug Administration ruling that
such vitamin products are foods, and to.
demand a public hearing on the question.
Will Assemble Fair Trade
Decisions
There is at present no place where access
can be had to all court decisions affecting
Fair Trade, and accordingly the N. A. B.
D. has decided to collect a complete library
on the subject. A collection of this kind
will be valuable, not only to lawyers han-
dling such eases in the courts but to manu-
facturers and retailers who may wish to be
fully and dependably advised concerning
their rights and obligations.
A Retailer's Responsibility
A retailer assumes the responsibility for
all prices quoted in any advertisement he
may issue in newspapers, radio or hand-
bills; therefore, it is his duty to cheek
the prices contained in these avenues of
publicity to see that there is no eonfliction
with the Fair Trade or Drug Control Laws,
thereby eliminating the possibility of any
error other than typographical. — Tennessee
Pharmacist.
AS SUMMER BEGINS
By Alice Noble
The President a Rustler
We have again and again commented on
President Gattis' ability to do so many
things well and to accomplish them so
quickly and efficiently, but how he has
found time during his busy year as presi-
dent of the Association to visit over 300
drug stores in the State is something for
us all to marvel at. In addition, he at-
tended the annual conventions of the X. A.
R. D. and the A. Ph. A.
Charlotte Was Their First
President Gattis and President-elect Hol-
lingsworth each announced in Charlotte that
the first N. C. P. A. meeting they attended
was in that city. This year they returned
to the Queen City — one to preside over the
convention and the other to be installed as
president for the coming year.
We Were Glad to See Mr. Blair
We were delighted to see Pharmacist R.
K. Blair at the meeting. He has been
quite ill during the winter, but has rapidly
improved during the past few weeks and
is now back on the job each day at his
Charlotte drug store.
New Friends and Old Friends
One of the very nicest features of the con-
vention for us is seeing so many old friends
and having the opportunity to meet new
ones. We appreciate so much the many cour-
tesies that were extended to us and we wish
to thank everybody who made us have such
a good time !
Did You Bear From Us?
On June 1st bills and ballots were mailed
from the Secretary-Treasurer's office. The
Executive Committee authorized us to send
both "B's" in one envelope to save postage.
We know you all want to vote and if any-
one failed to receive his ballot please let
us know and we will send duplicate at once.
Trained in the Way They Should Go
A few days ago we had the pleasure of a
visit from Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Beddingfield,
of Clayton. They were accompanied by
their son, "E. T., Jr." who will enter the
School of Pharmacy in the fall. We are
looking forward with pleasure to having
him as a student. It always pleases us
when "sons of fathers" are interested in
following in their sire's footsteps. Inci-
dentally, in this year's senior class s<
of the twenty-one graduates are the I
and daughters of pharmacists.
Another Hood to Study Pharmacy
And speaking of training boys and g
in the way they should go we take pleas
in announcing that next fall Miss M
Marsh Hood, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
C. Hood, of Kinston, will enter the Scl
of Pharmacy at the University. This y
she has been a freshman at Meredith (
lege where she served as president of
freshman class. "The Twig," the offh
organ of the student body of the colic
recently carried a column article about M
Hood, characterizing her as a campus leac
Among other things the editor says: '
her senior year in high school she was voj
the most intellectual, the most popular s
the best all-round. ... As freshman el
president she has worked hard and well,
her success signified. . . . Last semester
made first honor roll. . . ."
Who Holds the Record?
And while we are mentioning the Hoo
we wonder if any "clan" in North Caroli
has had more pharmacists in it than tj
one. We have just looked over our files aj
find that through the years there have bJ
thirteen members of this "tribe" to hi
licenses as Tar Heel pharmacists! T,
third generation is now practicing the pi
fession.
Do You Have Any Bach Proceedings
In the May Journal we sent out a c
for certain Proceedings of the N". C. P.
of former years needed for our files,
you have even one of the requested nui
bers won't you be good enough to let
have it for the Association's records? Thai
you !
Happy Landings!
And now that vacation time is almo!
around the corner we are wishing for y<
the nicest summer imaginable. If yoi
trail leads anywhere near Chapel Hill won
you drop by to see us? We shall be
glad to have you. If you can't pay us
visit, won't you send us a card and lj
us know where you are and what you {
doing? And again we say— here's to y
and a happy vacation!

Motor Cars Should Carry First
Aid Supplies
It is safe to say that 90 l/c of the medi-
cine chests in any community are inade-
quately or haphazardly stocked with First
Aid supplies and home remedies, declares the
N. A. R. D. Journal. Calling attention to
National First Aid Week, the journal says
that the home medicine chest is not the only
spot for the enterprising druggist to aim at
in selling such supplies. The automobile
is another. Even fewer cars are equipped
to care for first aid emergencies than are
homes. The number of automobile accidents
is increasing with the number of vehicles
and drivers; and along with it the need
for first-aid training and the materials with
which to apply it when required is growing.
We Ask You Once Again
It is very hard to publish a Jotjrxal that
carries news about each and every druggist
in the State unless we have help. Won't
you, therefore, drop us a card whenever
you hear of something that will be of in-
terest to your fellow druggists? Some of
our readers have formed a clipping habit —
that is whenever they see something in the
papers about druggists or drug stores they
cut it out and send it to us. How about
you forming this habit ?
Your Help Will Be Appreciated
The Committee on the Recipe Book of the
American Pharmaceutical Association de-
sires to make a collection of unusual prep-
arations and prescriptions that are not offi-
cial but are received rather frequently in the
pharmacies of the United States. You can
co-operate in this work by sending your list
of these products or copies of prescriptions
to a member of the Committee, Henry M.

The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Smith, on the morning of May 25, in the
parsonage of the First Presbyterian church
in the Capital City. Mr. Smith is originally
from Deposit, N. Y. After attending Cor-
nell University for a year, he entered the
School of Pharmacy of our State University
and graduated from this institution in 1937
with the degree of S.B. in Pharmacy. While
in college he took a prominent part in
School activities. He was a member of the
Student Council for two years and a mem-
ber of Rho Chi. He was licensed as a phar-
macist in 1937 and for the past several
months has been a representative of Eli
Lilly and Co. with headquarters in Durham.
After a short wedding trip Mr. and Mrs.
Smith are at home to their friends at 311
E. Trinity Ave., Durham.
Births
Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Thompson, formerly
of Chapel Hill, but now of Lafayette, In-
diana, announce the birth of a seven-pound
daughter on April 17. The name of the
young lady is Beverly Carol. Her father is
studying for a master's degree in pharmacy
at Purdue University. Mrs. Thompson is
well remembered by Journal readers as
Miss Billie Pike, the sister of Miss Nancy
(now Mrs. J. A. Mitchener, Jr.), as well as
Joe and Jessie Pike, all pharmacists.
Mr. and Mrs. D. R. Davis, of Williamston,
announce the birth of a daughter, Elizabeth
Hunter, on May 1 7. The weight of the young
lady is 8% pounds.
Deaths
Friends everywhere were distressed to
learn of the death of Claude Nash Herndon,
retired Greensboro druggist, which occurred
on the night of May 4 at a hospital in New
Orleans after several months of declining
health. Mr. Herndon was a native of
'Chatham county and was 53 years of age.
He was licensed as a pharmacist in 1912
and had practiced his profession in Durham
and Greensboro. He had been identified
witli the retail drug business in the Gate
City for the past thirty years. His last
business activity was that of operating the
Carolina Pharmacy. Due to ill health he

ied by his wife, Mr. Herndon went to Ne"
Orleans. His condition took a serious tur
soon after his arrival there and the greate
part of his time since then had been speri
in a hospital. He was a life member o
the N. C. P. A., and also held membershi.
in the West Market St. Methodist church
in Masonic bodies and in Oasis temple
Until his health failed he was an aetiv
member of the Greensboro Lions club. T
his wife and two sons the Journal extend
sincerest sympathy.
Troy Edward Austin, of Roxboro, diec

The New Secretary "Treasurer
WILLIAM JULIUS SMITH
The Executive Committee of the N. C. P. A. takes pleasure in announc-
ing the appointment of William Julius Smith as Secretary-Treasurer of the
organization and as Managing Editor of the Carolina Journal of Pharmacy.
Mr. Smith will assume his new responsibilities on July first and will make
his headquarters in Chapel Hill. He will also serve as an inspector of the
Board of Pharmacy.
The new official needs no introduction to the pharmacists of North Caro-
lina. He is originally from Morganton and attended State College and the
State University, graduating from the Chapel Hill institution with the degree
of S.B. in Pharmacy in 1937. While in college he was prime mover in
making successful the Student Branch of the State Association during its
first year of existence and served as its first president. He earned good
grades in college; served as student assistant in the laboratories; was a
member of Rho Chi ; and at graduation won the Buxton Williams Hunter
Medal for Leadership and Scholarship. He was licensed as a pharmacist in
June of his graduation year. In his travels over the State as Inspector of
the Board of Pharmacy he has made many friends who will be greatly
pleased to learn of his new honor. During the coming months he will visit
every drug store in North Carolina. On behalf of the druggists of the State
we wish to extend our heartiest congratulations to Mr. Smith and to pledge
to him our heartiest co-operation. — A. N.

Interprofessional Relations'
By B. E. Mull
Manager, Trade Advertising,
Eli Lilly and Co.
. . . During the last several years it lias
been my good fortune to participate in
more than thirty state, national, and section-
al conventions. At all of these conventions
the topics for discussion have been much
the same. They have been good topics.
They have had to do with Fair Trade, with
the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act,
with problems of store management, and
methods of selling and display. We all
agree, I am sure, that these are excellent
topics. But sometimes I feel that we have
lost sight of the value of the prescription
department, which after all is the vital or-
gan of the entire drug industry.
About the only thing that identifies the
drug store these days is the sign over the
door. Step inside, and we find everything
from silk hose to Pinnocchio and Ferdinand
the Bull. Please understand that I believe
in front-end merchandising, but I don't be-
lieve that it should be allowed to crowd out
the professional factor. The crusade which
I have been conducting in favor of the pre-
scription department for many years is
purely a matter of economies with me, and
not professional pride.
Despite all the allegations that are hurled
at our heads, we need make no apologies for
pharmacy. Pharmacy was first practiced
at the time that the first man had his first
illness. We could not go back much farther.
For hundreds of years it was practiced as a
part of medicine. Then, along in the twelfth
or thirteenth century, pharmacy was sep-
arated from medicine and there was estab-
lished the apothecary shop. It became the
function of the apothecary shop to com-
pound and dispense on the doctor's orders
medicines for the relief of suffering and
distress. And so you see that a certain
responsibility is traditional, and no matter
how much merchandising he may do, no
pharmacist can escape his responsibility to
public health.
* Presented at the 1940 Convention of the
N. C. P. A.
This responsibility has multiplied durii
the last twenty-five or thirty years. Chan{|
has been described as the outstanding cha
acteristic of modern civilization. Those
us who have been associated with the drv
business for many years are conscious
the many changes which reflect themselv
in the operation of our own affairs. Mo
ern medical research, as well as modific
tions in the general social structure ai
higher standards of living are responsib'.
(Note: At this point the speaker cit
examines of modern changes in therapeui
measures.)
Now, despite all the opportunities whi
these developments have brought, the ret
drug business, as such, has undergone
steady process of degeneration. Autho
ties agree that this condition is almost ^
tirely due to too much commercializatij
at the expense of the prescription depa
ment. The drug business hasn 't gone to t
dogs — not by any means. We still do
retail one and one-third billions a year, a
the drug business employs in all its brand'
about one-half million people.
I well realize, as do all of us, that t
average drug store cannot live on its p
scription department alone. There are, as"
matter of fact, only 592 strictly professio
stores in the United States. But my |
tention is that the pharmacist should 1
the prescription business first and then i
vote whatever may be left of his time a
energy to merchandising miscellaneous lin
It is a matter of record that profits usua!
go out the window with prescription-depaj
ment neglect.
Sometimes I wonder whether or not
have a proper appreciation of the prescr
tion market. There most assuredly is!

logicals for human consumption alone,
000,000; ointments, $7,000,000; chemi-
s, $7,000,000; alkaloids, $6,000,000; and
•ious unclassified items, which brings the
al to $140,000,000. Add to this direct
es to hospitals by retail drug stores, and
find that prescription sales and direct
es to hospitals and physicians represent
-eighth of total drug store sales and
ty per cent of total net profit.
That is only half the story. If we credit
the prescription department every ounce
iodine, every ounce of spirit of cam-
)r, and all other items that could not be
i by a store which did not operate a pre-
iption department, we find that the pre-
iption department accounts for twenty
cent of total drug store volume and sixty
cent of net drug store profit.
Dake an average drug store of $25,000
mal volume. If the owner nets five per
it on sales, he has done quite well because
linarily a five per cent net profit rep-
ents about a twenty per cent income on
'estment. Five per cent of $25,000 is
250, which represents the net profit of
store. Now let us assume that twenty
cent of the volume, or $5,000, is in the
scription department. We all know that
prescription department yields a net
jfit of fifteen per cent. Fifteen per cent
$5,000 is $750, which is sixty per cent
the total net profit of $1,250, taken from
bnty per cent of the sales. Go where you
ty, it's the stores that do a substantial
[ascription volume that really make the
Iney, and after all that's one of the
lings we are in business for.
ifn a county-seat town in Indiana, we have
lichain unit which last year did $95,000
ume. The store did no prescription busi-
es whatever and showed at the end of
year a net profit of $3,000. In the
pie town, in the same block, is a store
||ich last year did only $27,000. This was
I a good prescription store, but about
I per cent of the volume was in the pre-
option department, and that store also
Ide $3,000 net profit.
hi a middle-western state a study was
de of three stores of equal volume. These
^res are situated in three representative
:mty-seat towns, as nearly alike as county-
It towns in the same section of the coun-
try can be. Operating expense of the three
stores was almost identical. The first store
is operated by a chap who doesn't want any-
thing to do with doctors. He says that all
they do is smoke his cigars and spit on the
floor, and he would rather not have them
around. And so he goes in for merchan-
dising in a big way, and last year on a
$35,000 volume the net profit was $30.28.
Now the second store will accept prescrip-
tions. They don 't care a lot whether they
get them or not, but they will take them as
they happen along, and even with this in-
different attitude, the prescription depart-
ment represented last year thirty per cent
of total volume, and this $35,000 store made
$725 net. The third store, although doing
a general drug business, features the pre-
scription department, cultivates the good
will of physicians with the result that twen-
ty-five per cent of the total volume is in
the prescription department. This store,
doing the same general volume as the other
two, yielded last year a net profit of
$3,053. These are not freak examples. They
can be duplicated in almost any state in the
Union. They are, I believe, conclusive evi-
dence that the prescription business does
pay. . . .
Prescription promotion is quite a simple
problem. An important thing, I believe,
and one which is seldom given any consid-
eration is a proper understanding of the
physician and his problems. Sometimes we
are inclined to believe that we have all of
the trouble and that the doctor has none
whatever.
The normal decline from death and re-
tirement among physicians of the country
is about 4,000 a year. There are graduated
from the recognized schools about 6,500,
making an increase over the decline of
2,500 annually. The physician in practice
has drawn into his field each year a surplus
of 2,500 young physicians which must be ab-
sorbed. In addition he has to compete with
the chiropractor, the osteopath, the meeha-
no-therapist, and all the other off-brand
practitioners, none of whom probably do
much good but all of whom take patients
from the physician. I don't believe that
the pharmacist should offer any condolences
because they would be quite unwelcome.
Neither do I believe that any pharmacist
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
can hope to develop a prescription business
while handing out cards for the chiroprac-
tor. His friend is the physician — the li-
censed M.D.
There are many factors involved in the
development of a prescription clientele that
are so elementary that they need no discus-
sion here. An efficient physical arrange-
ment is of the utmost importance. This
doesn 't mean that fancy fixtures are neces-
sary, because they are not. Cleanliness, ade-
quate compounding equipment, comprehen-
sive stocks of the items in prescription de-
mand, prompt service, attractive containers,
and a strict observance of business princi-
ples and professional ethics are also essen-
tial.
The basic principle of all promotion work
is personal calls on physicians. This is
something that few of us will do, but those
who do establish a regular schedule of calls
are well paid for their efforts. The ideal
frequency is twelve times a year at regular
intervals. These calls should be supple-
mented by regular mailings and other forms
of promotion efforts which the local situa-
tion might dictate.
We have on this platform representatives
of the University of North Carolina School
of Pharmacy. This institution is beyond
any doubt the most important single factor
in the drug industry of the state. At the
time I was a student of pharmacy we all
went to school with the same idea : that was
to finish the course, pass the state examina-
tion, and then get a job in some drug store
where we could work eighteen hours a day
seven days a week until the time eventu-
ally came when, through the grace of God
and the help of the wholesaler, we could
get a store of our own where we could
work twenty-four hours a day seven days a
week.
There is no finer prospect in any field of
endeavor in this enlightened age than there
is for the graduate in pharmacy. If he
finds during the course of his work that
he doesn't want to engage in retail prac-
tice, there are many other things for which
he is qualified upon the completion of his
course. He may teach if he wishes, and
while teaching has been described as a long
way to starvation, we have evidence to the
contrary.
If the student is so inclined, he can ts
all necessary pre-medic work during
course in pharmacy by proper selection (
his eleetives. During the last few yeai
many pharmacists have become associate
with the United States Public Health Ser
ice. Young men, in particular, like th
work, one of the reasons being that the
are charged with the responsibility of teac
ing nurses. The thing they don't unde
stand when they enter the service is fa
they are told what they can teach, whi<
sometimes results in a slight disappointmer
Diagnostic laboratories engage many
our young people. Hospital pharmacy
another field wide open to those who aspi
to hospital work. Some of our large citi
now have ordinances which require the ei
ployment of one registered pharmacist f;
every one hundred beds. This plan is ta
ing the hospital work out of the hanj
of the student nurse and the janitor an
placing it in the hands of the pharmaci;
where it rightfully belongs. Young ladi)
in particular are in great demand as 9
pital pharmacists. In addition to being
little more intelligent, they have an add
advantage : they don 't bother the studel
nurses. Then again, if the graduate war
to earn his living the hard way, there
always the pharmaceutical manufacturer ai
the wholesale druggist. Hundreds of regj
tered people are now so employed.
All in all, retail practice is the big fiel
and I am hopeful that every 1940 graduf
will spend at least three years in a retl
drug store. In addition to the experier
which retail practice affords, our graduaiij
are really needed in retail stores. Thefl
are in these United States fewer than 111
000 registered pharmacists. The mortal^
among this group is about 3,400 a yed

were graduated. And so you see that if I
of our 1940 graduates Avere to engage in it
tail practice there would actually be I
jobs for every single man or woman. I
you match it in any other line of e,
deavor ?
If this keeps up, there are but thrj
avenues of escape. The first is lower ed>
eational standards, to which I am qui
sure none of us will agree. The second
fewer drug stores. While it is possible th
in certain sections there are too many dr
stores, it is not for us to say whether
not any of them is to be eliminated,
have no right or authority to take a livi>
from any man. The third, and I believe t
right one, is more freshmen next fall. Wh:
we have our problems in the drug field, t]
retail drug business is so far superior
any other form of retail endeavor that thci
is absolutely no comparison. If you thii
it isn 't, compare your problems with thd
of your neighbors in other lines.
After this convention is over and you ha
made the adjustments which must foll(
every convention, and have returned to yo
store or your job, I trust that you will
thankful with me that, after all, there
such a thing as the drug business.

THINGS WE LIKE TO THINK ABOUT
By Alice Noble
Our Anniversary
Nineteen years ago on July 1st we began
ur long continuous connection with the
C. P. A. Twice before during the sum-
ier we had worked in the Seeretary-Treas-
rer's office for periods of three months at
time. As we think back through the years
many delightful memories come to us
nd the events crowd upon each other so
losely that it is hard to realize that it has
een almost a decade since we timidly be-
an taking Secretary-Treasurer Beard's dic-
ation. We have enjoyed the work more
lian we can say and then too we treasure
le friendships we have formed among the
harmaeists of North Carolina. It is hard
express our feelings as we think of the
ings that mean most to us, but we cannot
1 our nineteenth anniversary pass by with-
lut thanking each and every one of you
rho have been so kind to us and who have
tiade the work so pleasant through the
ears.
A Splendid Prize
Not long ago we had the pleasure of a
•isit from Pharmacist Paul B. Bissette, of
Yilson. On more than one occasion he has
hown deep interest in the boys and girls
Ko are studying to prepare themselves as
)harmacists. While talking to Acting Dean
W. Eose the other day he established an
jinnual prize of $25.00 to be given to the
student of pharmacy who prepares the best
story about pharmacy, such article to be
bublished in a paper with state-wide cir-
culation. Of course, Dean Rose gladly ac-
cepted the generous offer. This prize will
perve as a fine stimulus to the younger gen-
eration to think and write about their
ehosen profession. The School of Pharmacy
s taking this opportunity to thank" Drug-
gist Bissette for his splendid prize.
A High Spot of the Convention
j To many of us attending the Charlotte
meeting the highest spot of all came just
before the final adjournment. We refer
|to a short but earnest talk given by T. C.
Yearwood. We wanted to mention this in-
cident in the last issue of the Journal but
we saved it until now for the number which
is largely given over to graduation and
graduates.
Speaking feelingly of his boyhood days'
in the drug store twenty-five years ago the
Charlotte pharmacist told of how he had
worked hard from early morning until late
at night with a small salary in a determina-
tion to prepare himself for his chosen pro-
fession. He mentioned with some emotion
that when he got ready to go off to college
the owner of the store in which he worked
paid part of his expenses. And then came
the best part of all of his story. ' ' We in
the Charlotte Drug Club, ' ' said the speaker,
''will in the next year contact boys of high
school age and get them jobs in drug stores.
We will follow the careers of these boys
closely and will aid them financially in going
through college. That is one way that our
organization can bring new blood into the
profession and aid in the development of
more and better pharmacists. ' ' In conclu-
sion, Mr. Yearwood urged other drug clubs
in the State to co-operate in such a plan
in an effort to get young boys interested in
pharmacy and trained so thoroughly that
they will be a credit to themselves and to
the profession.
We cannot think of a more splendid pur-
pose for a drug club and we hope other
groups will adopt a similar plan!
We Journey to Virginia
Thanks to President Hollingsworth, we
had the pleasure of attending the annual
convention of the Ya. Phar. Assoc, in Roa-
noke on June 24-25. We had a wonderful
motor trip up the Blue Ridge Parkway and
enjoyed every minute of our stay in the
Old Dominion. It was a real privilege to
attend the business sessions of the conven-
tion and the several delightful "parties" to
which we received special invitations. We
likewise enjoyed very much being with many
Virginians whose friendships we treasure
very highly. President Hollingsworth in-
vited the Virginia pharmacists to attend the
1941 convention of the N. C. P. A. and we
are delighted to report that many of them
expect to be on hand!

Meeting of the Executive Committee
The Executive Committee of the State
Association met in Chapel Hill on June 20
with every member present except C. C.
Fordham, who was unavoidably prevented
from attending. The principal business
that concerned the group was the selection
of a new secretary-treasurer of the Associa-
tion and a managing editor of the Journal
to fill the positions made vacant by the
resignation of Dean J. G. Beard early in
March. When Mr. Beard resigned Professor
I. W. Rose consented to serve as Acting
Secretary-Treasurer and Acting Managing
Editor of the Journal until this June meet-
ing could be held.
The Board of Pharmacy attended the
meeting and presented a proposition where-
by the official to be selected would not only
act in the above capacities but would also
serve as an inspector of the Board of
Pharmacy. This proposal was accepted ai
William Julius Smith, of Morganton, w;
unanimously selected to fill the three ii
portant posts, his salary to be born by tl,

A Letter From Dean J. G. Beard
Hartford, Conn., June 26, 1940.
I have just learned that Mr. W. J. Smith has been elected Secretary-Treasurer
of the State Association and Managing Editor of the Carolina Journal of
Pharmacy. This news pleases me greatly and I want to extend to Mr. Smith not
merely my own best wishes and promises of support in his efforts, but to pledge
what I am satisfied are the desires of the entire membership — the helping hand
that he will want and need during his early days of administering the work that
has now been made his. Having been on the job in question for almost twenty-
eight years I know better perhaps than others how important it is that the Secre-
tary receive the sympathetic support of the general membership. Knowing Mr.
Smith I feel certain that he will give freely of his finest efforts to the new under-
taking and will merit the support that is granted to him. He has the youth, energy
,and the enthusiasm that are needed by the Association in the coming months that
are going to be hard, and if he is made to feel that back of him lies the helpful
support of the rank and file of the members, he will make good in a fine way.
How about dropping him a eard and letting him know that you will support him
and that you are glad he is on the job? Such things help all of us; particularly
do they help younger men just beginning a new adventure.
I wish at this point very earnestly to thank the pharmacists of North Carolina
for the support they gave me while I was in office. The honor of being retained
year after year as Secretary would have seemed empty if I had not at the same
time received such fine support as to make the work involved partake somewhat
of the nature of a hobby. I really got a big kick out of secretarying, and it saddens
'me a bit to say goodbye to the job. My gratitude goes to those who made this
pleasure possible.
(Signed) J. G. BEARD.

We have just been looking over the list
of members of the T. M. A. for the coming
year and we note that 186 are now affiliated
with the organization. Isn't that a splendid
membership? Druggists all over the State
appreciate the interest of the traveling men
in the Association and the fine work they
are doing in behalf of the organization.
Druggists were greatly interested in see-
ing the pictures of the Bush twins in the
New YorTc Times and elsewhere last week.
It seems that Bob Thompson, director of
the State News Bureau, heard about them
not long ago and landed their pictures with
a syndicate. Thus it was that the picture
of "Jean and June" "turned up all over
the nation last week as the only fair sex
twins on the registered pharmacist roster."
Commenting upon the honor paid to these
fine young ladies the editor of the News
and Observer remarks: "The syndicates are
getting fed up with bathing girls and News-
man Thompson hit a natural with two beau-
ties behind a prescription counter!"
Wedding Bells
The younger graduates of the University
were interested and surprised to hear dur-
ing Commencement Week of the marriage of
Miss Elizabeth Milton Weaver, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Balph Weaver, of Chapel
Hill, to Dr. Harley Brookshire, Jr., of Ashe-
ville, in New Orleans, La. on July 19, 1939.
The bride is a 1940 graduate of the State
University School of Pharmacy. She is a
charter member of the University chapter
of Kappa Epsilon, national pharmaceutical
sorority, and of Chi Omega. Dr. Brookshire
is also a graduate of the University and re-
ceived his M.D. degree from Tulane Uni-
versity this June. After the announcement
of the wedding Dr. and Mrs. Brookshire
spent some time in Asheville with the
groom's parents before leaving for Cin-
cinnati, Ohio, where the former is now a
member of the staff of Saint Mary's Hos-
pital.
Shortly before the announcement of the
above wedding came the news of the mar-
riage of another of this year's graduates —
that of Charles Daniel McFalls and Miss
Louise Brown, both of Greensboro, which
took place on Dee. 2, 1939 in Martinsville,
Va., at the home of the pastor of the First

The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Baptist church. The groom is originally
from Newton but has spent a great deal of
his time in recent years in Greensboro. Dur-
ing his senior year at the University he
served as student assistant in the labora-
tories and was president of the graduating
class.
Another wedding of interest to the young-
er druggists in particular was that of Wm.
L. Sloan and Miss Ruth Hamilton, of Lum-
berton, which took place in Virginia on
May 16. The groom is originally from
Chapel Hill but since his graduation from
the State University in 1939 he has been
connected with the Wrike Drug Co., of
Graham.
We were greatly interested to receive an
invitation from B. F. Page to the marriage
of his daughter, Helen Frances, to John
Burgess Gaither on the evening of July 6th
at the Edenton Street Methodist church in
Raleigh. Many friends of Mr. Page and
his charming daughter are making their
plans to attend this wedding.
We take pleasure in announcing the mar-
riage of Miss Elnora Honeycutt, of Frank-
linton, and Howard Emsley Whitley, of Con-
cord, on the afternoon of June 19 in the
Franklinton Methodist Church. Mr. Whit-
ley is the son of Mrs. A. D. N. Whitley and
the late Dr. Whitley of Monroe, and re-
ceived his pharmaceutical education at the
State University, graduating in 1929 with
the degree of Ph.G. For the past several
years he has been practicing his profession
in Concord and is now a proprietor of the
Whitmore Drug Co. After a wedding trip
to New York and Atlantic City the young
couple are at home to their friends in the
Cabarrus town.
Births
Mr. and Mrs. A. B. McLeod, of Mebane,
announce the adoption of a son on April
28. The little boy was born on March 22
making him five weeks old at the time of
his adoption. His name is Alton Brooks
McLeod, IT. The proud father tells us that
his son "is going to be a real Norwiehite
from the way he takes his Norwich cod-
liver oil."
We were greatly pleased to receive an an-
nouncement of the birth of Gilbert Clyde
Hartis, Jr., of Winston-Salem, on June 21.
The young man weighed eight pound
birth. We are joining many friends ii
tending congratulations to the proud
ents, Mr. and Mrs. G. C. Hartis, Sr.
are wondering if the son will follow ii
father's footsteps and enter the profe
of pharmacy. If he does he will cerfc
"have to step on it" to keep up with
senior Hartis' career. "G. C, Sr.," i
one of the most enviable records
achieved in the State University Scho(
Pharmacy, and when he took the J
Board examinations he made the hij
average for that year thereby winning

• Lilly detail calls are frequent. Every few
seconds, day in and day out, some physician,

"Your" Association
For the past 28 years Dean J. G. Beard has ably served as an executive officer of
e N. C. P. A. and to him pharmacy owes a deep debt of gratitude. His untiring efforts
I behalf of you and your fellow pharmacists; his understanding of your problems; his
dlity; his constant efforts to keep pharmacy abreast of other professions; and, above all,
s laudable sense of fair play have all served to build the N. C. P. A. into one of the
rongest and most effective pharmaceutical organizations in this country.
When Dean Beard assumed the Secretaryship of the Association there was but a
indful of members. By constant work — year by year — he gradually increased the mem-
srship until there were more than 900 in its ranks. At the rate it has recently been
[owing there will soon be 1,000 members for collective work and action in the Asso-
ption.
Miss Noble has been closely associated with Dean Beard in this work for the past
p years and it is primarily due to her efforts that the Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
s achieved such an admirable record in the field of pharmaceutical publications. No
ie in Chapel Hill is more familiar with the mechanics of the Journal than she ; there-
ire, her advice and suggestions will be welcomed.
In assuming the work as Secretary-Treasurer of the Association and later as Editor
[ the Carolina Journal of Pharmacy, I do not plan any radical changes. Rather, it
II be an honest endeavor to "carry on,"' fully realizing my obligations to the profession,
an Beard, Miss Noble, and Professor Eose, together with a host of others, have set
e standard high by their splendid work in the past. My hope is that I may discharge
e duties of Secretary-Treasurer of the Association as effectively as they have been in
e past. Your co-operation will help me reach that goal.
In line with President Gattis's recommendation made at the Charlotte Convention
at "The Secretary of the Association visit every drug store in North Carolina between
mual meetings," I have started such visits. The first week of July I visited 43 drug

Pep for Your Credit Department
Various credit surveys carried on during
past years indicate that members of the
teaching profession are high on the list of
"good credit risks." Since thousands of
North Carolina teachers will soon be back
for their school year, it will be advisable to
explore the possibilities of offering them
credit in your store.
I know a number of pharmacists in North
Carolina who open their credit department
on an unlimited scale to the local teachers
and are well repaid for their efforts. Credit
losses from this source are surprisingly low.
One druggist in this State has several
hundred small cards printed each year on
which appears the name of his store together
with an appropriate motto. Each card has
five figure ones equally spaced at the bot-
tom, each one being good for a five-c(
drink when presented in person at the sto
A one is punched from the card each ti!
it is presented in payment of a five-cd
purchase. By the time the card holder 1
all five ones punched out, he or she w
have gotten the habit of trading at yc
store.
The card together with a friendly let'
offering the convenience of a monthly chai
account is sent to all teachers within
immediate trading area. A list of the lot
teachers can be secured either from yd
local newspaper or the Superintendent
Schools.
It 's up to you to decide who is to f
this business — you or your competitor.!

We Meet Two Ph.D.'s
Wiltshire Griffith and L. E. Hesterly,
pharmacists with the Justus Pharmacy, of
Hendersonville, recently gave an order for
a rubber stamp to be used in stamping the
labels of rubbing alcohol. When the stamp
was returned from the manufacturer, the
words Ph.D. appeared on the stamp oppo-
site each of the pharmacist's names, rather
than the Ph.G. requested. Mr. Griffith says
that they haven't written their dissertation
as yet but it will probably be on: "The

Drug Store Statistics
By L. O. Heideman, Vice-President, A. C. Nielsen Co.
(Note: — This address was presented at the 1940 convention of the N. C. P. A. The material
as illustrated by the use of charts. It is impossible to reproduce the charts here so tables, out-
ling the figures on which they were based, have been substituted wherever possible. — Ed.)
The material which I am presenting is
ised on facts. Facts that are available
ily because certain manufacturers are
ifficiently enterprising to contribute several
illion dollars annually for their compila-
on.
(Note: The speaker listed the names of
lese manufacturers at this point.)
How the Nielsen Drug Index Operates
In order to help you understand the facts
am going to present, let me describe the
jet-gathering process of the Nielsen serv-
es.
The Drug, Food, and Liquor industries
squire a special fact-gathering system be-
luse in these industries the manufacturer
oes not sell directly to the consumer, but
) the chain and wholesale warehouses,
rhieh in turn ship to chain and indepen-
lent retail stores. These retailers then sell
5 the ultimate consumers.
The inventories in the chain and whole-
i
ale warehouses and in the retail stores are
3 great, and they fluctuate so widely from
lonth to month (often for reasons beyond
!ie manufacturer's control), that the amount
'f orders received or goods shipped at the
victory, in any given month, is usually
prite different from the amount of goods
poved into the hands of consumers across
(etail counters.
! While this fact is appreciated in princi-
ple by nearly everyone, the extent to which
Consumer sales differ from factory sales is
ot appreciated by most executives.
Knowledge of Consumer Sales is Vital
However, it is vitally important to know
onsumer sales, for the company may be
pending money for various advertising and
lerchandising efforts to increase the flow
'f its goods at the point of consumption;
nd if there is no way of measuring the
ow at this point, it is difficult and often
mpossible to know promptly and accurately
the profits resulting from each advertising
or merchandising effort.
If the manufacturer makes, on Jan. 1st, a
definite change in any phase of his market-
ing effort, his factory sales for the next
few months will not ordinarily give a true
indication of the extent to which the
change affected his consumer sales.
What we really need is a consumer sales
curve. If, in addition to this consumer
sales curve for the entire United States, we
could have a separate curve, in the same
form, for each territory, each city-size range,
each store size, each consumer income class,
etc., we could learn accurately and promptly
the result of every move we make.
And it would be ideal if we could have a
similar set of consumer sales curves for each
competitor, because we would then know
more about each competitor's sales than he
himself knows. By watching the true result
of every competitive move, experience as tc
profitable and unprofitable methods could be
accumulated much more rapidly than would
be possible if the manufacturer had to rely
solely on his own experience.
The Research Method Used
The Nielsen Drug, Food, and Liquor In-
dex measures consumer sales continuously
(every 60 days) by detailed, personally con-
ducted audits of invoices and inventories
in 4,000 typical chain and independent
stores. These stores have been selected in
such a manner that their sales furnish a
true cross-section of the sales of all stores
in the drug, food, and package liquor fields.
The U. S. Census of Distribution was used
as the principal guide in selecting these
stores.
Each territory, each city size, each store
size, and each class of neighborhood is rep-
resented in its proper proportion. The
drug stores are located in 400 carefully
selected cities, ranging in size from the
largest to places of only a few hundred
100
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
inhabitants, and even to crossroad locations
in rural sections.
A contract has been made with each in-
dependent store, and with the headquarters
of each chain organization, under the terms
of which A. C. Nielsen Company has the
privilege of taking inventories and auditing
the invoices for all goods coming into the
store. We, in turn, compensate chain and
independent retailers with cash and mar-
keting information.
The consumer sales figures obtained in
this manner are expanded to a total for
the entire country. The infinite care used
in selecting and auditing stores has resulted
in sales figures that are 98% accurate. This
has been demonstrated conclusively by a
great number and variety of checking meth-
ods.
The high degree of accuracy is readily
understandable when it is realized that the
Nielsen drug stores serve the needs of
3,500,000 consumers. Compare these cover-
age figures with the usual range employed
in consumer surveys (seldom more than
10,000) and, also, recognize the fact that
consumers can seldom give reliable data on
quantities consumed ; whereas accurate store
auditing can determine, with negligible
error, the quantities sold.
Determining Competitors' Sales
One of the unique and valuable features
of the Nielsen Index method is its ability
to determine the sales of the client's com-
petitors just as easily as it measures the
sales of his own products. And the com-
petitor 's sales are furnished in a form far
more useful than if they had been obtained
at his factor)/. By knowing his competi-
tor's consumer sales, the manufacturer can
judge the effectiveness of every move made
by competitors.
Principles of Store Auditing
The table below illustrates the principles
employed in determining consumer sales and
other vital marketing data in Nielsen Index
stores.

Note that the dealer is not relied upo
for any sales information. He merely save
every invoice, demands a receipt or invoiq
when making occasional cash purchases, an
records any deal splitting.
A special auditing method reveals instam1
ly any failure on the part of the dealer t
keep invoices or to record split deals. Th'
cash compensation paid to dealers is sum
cient to insure considerable care in thej
part of the work.
The store auditing, while simple in prii1
eiple, is exceedingly complex in actual prao;
tice. Our auditors must be familiar win
all the tricks in buying, selling, and in
voicing every type of drug, food, and liquet
product. A highly trained, permanent, fiiu
time staff is used for this Avork and fd
every other Nielsen Index operation. Abort
600 people are employed full time on tlr.i
type of research work alone.
Advertisers are betting millions on th
correctness of our findings ; hence no stori
is left unturned in our efforts to insui'
accuracy.
In the course of a year, over 300,000,OU
items of information are secured by th
Nielsen Index field staff, and are tabulate^
cross-analyzed, and interpreted by the oth^
departments of the Nielsen organization.
Types of Information Secured
The basic field data shown in the tab
above are analyzed in a manner which r
veals the following types of information
Complete List of Data Secured: (1) SaW
to consumers; (2) Purchases by retailer?
(3) Retail inventories; (4) Stock-turn; (5)
Distribution; (6) Percent out-of-stock ; (7i
Prices (wholesale and retail) ; (8) Retaj

push (displays, specials, advertising, etc.)
i (12) Total sales — all commodities.
These twelve types of information are
>ken down by: (a) Brands — your own vs.
npetitor's; (b) Territories — East, Cen-
9 South, Pacific; (c) Sales territories;
) City sizes — A, B, C, and D; (e) Large
ies ; (f) Store type — chain vs. indepen-
its; (g) Store size — large, medium, small;
) Package size — small, medium, large,
,nt; (i) Consumer income class; (j) Etc.
■Since all data are punched on tabulating
ds, special breakdowns are readily ob-
ued (e.g., sales in stores that display the
)ds vs. sales in other stores). These
cial breakdowns frequently furnish the
utions to the most perplexing marketing
blems.
ftfote that all work is repeated every two
nths, so that trends are determined on all
pes of information. Continuity and aecii-
y are the primary features of this type
research.
Testing
["he Nielsen Index method of measuring
sumer sales furnishes a means of pre-
bing, on a small, inexpensive scale, most
the more important types of promotion.
r this purpose we employ ten test cities
which we cover a very high percentage
the total stores, thus furnishing a highly
urate trend of consumer sales for each
nd in these cities.
resting is commonly construed to mean
ppy testing, ' ' and it is true that most
;ing methods are applicable only to the
ing of advertising copy. The Nielsen
lex method, however, is equally applicable
tthe following types of promotion, all of
ch have been tested under our direction:
Advertising quantity; (b) Advertising
;lia (e.g., radio, newspapers, outdoor) ;
Co-operative advertising; (d) Push
ley; (e) Displays; (f) Deals; (g) Re-
sales effort; (h) Detailing of dentists,
sicians, etc.; (i) Sampling; (j) Price
nges; and (k) Package changes.
t has been our experience that this meth-
when conducted with a high degree of
1 and with infinite attention to detail,
nearly always yield sound results.
Summary of Principal Uses by
Manufacturers
One of the greatest benefits which retail-
ers are deriving from the Nielsen Drug In-
dex service arises from the intelligent use
of this service by drug manufacturers.
It is axiomatic that whenever a manu-
facturer makes an erroneous decision in re-
gard to marketing, there is waste. It is also
true that this waste and financial loss are
often borne not only by the manufacturer,
but also by the wholesaler, the retailer, and
the consumer. Therefore, the retailers are
benefiited by any device which increases the
accuracy of the executive decisions made by
the manufacturers in matters of marketing
policy.
Since executive decisions can be no more
accurate than the facts on which they are
based, it is obvious that a firm foundation
of facts is of primary importance.
The Nielsen Index service performs an
almost infinite variety of functions for the
drug manufacturer as shown by the sum-
mary of principal uses below.
1. To distribute advertising and merchan-
dising effort correctly among various terri-
tories, city sizes, store sizes, seasons, and
consumer income levels.
2. To detect marketing weaknesses and re-
veal the result of every effort to correct
them.
3. To separate the profitable from the
unprofitable, e.g., (a) Copy appeals; (b)
Quantities of advertising; (c) Types of
media ; (d) Deals, combinations, premiums,
etc.; (e) Displays, etc., and (f) Radio pro-
grams.
4. To provide advance warnings of sales
declines, competitive inroads, need for
changes in product, package, etc.
5. To reveal the causes of sales declines
and point toward the remedies.
6. To detect gains or losses in dealer
goodwill.
7. To determine the most profitable price
levels.
8. To pre-determine the results of pro-
posed promotional expenditures. This is
done by testing in certain cities or areas.
9. To reduce the risk in marketing new
products.
For an even simpler summary of the
Nielsen Index, we turn to the words of Abra-
102
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
ham Lincoln : " If we could first know where
we are and whither we are tending, we could
better judge what to do and how to do it. ' '
Nielsen Index Data for Drug
Retailers
Now let us use the Nielsen Index facts
to aid drug retailers with their problems.
All the facts gathered by the Nielsen staff
are recorded on tabulating cards. Each
card shows exactly what happened to one
package size of one brand of one commodity
in one Nielsen Index store for one bimonthly
period.
A typical card would show the following
facts: (1) John Doe's Drug Store; (2)
City of Evanston; (3) State of Illinois;
(4) County of Cook; (5) Suburb of Chica-
go; (6) Class "C" population; (7) Drug
store; (8) Independent; (9) E«xall
Agency; (10) Large size store; (11)
Neighborhood location; (12) Upper income
class; (13) Jan.-Feb., 1939; (14) Denti-
frices; (15) "Blank" brand; (16) 50-
cent size; and then would follow the data
outlined in the table on page .
The facts which will now be presented
have been drawn from about 26,000,000 of
these tabulating cards — a pile more than
twelve times the height of the Empire State
Building! To gather these facts, Nielsen
Index field auditors have traveled the equiv-
alent of 300 trips around the world!
Also, let me emphasize the fact that A.
C. Nielsen Company is absolutely impartial
as between chains and independents, that
we are impartial as between various brands
and products, and that we hold no brief for
any particular types of promotion or ad-
vertising. Our task is to gather the facts
and interpret them to the best of our
ability.
Drug Store Sales
By using the average figure of 1936 as a
base of 100, the table below shows an in-
dex of drug store consumer dollar sales for
the years 1936, 1937, 1938, and 1939.
1936 1937 193S 1939 1940

1936 = 100
1937 = 107
1938== 103
1939 = 106
While the trend of sales has been gei
ally upward during successive bi-mont
periods of each year, sales during 1938
1939 failed to equal the 1937 average. 1
January-February 1940 figure is the higl
January-February reported for the five ye
shown in this table.
In comparing independent drug and ch
drug store consumer sales for the last f
years, we find that, while independent di
stores were increasing their share of
total business during the first three years
the comparison, there has been no sigr
cant shift in the relative proportion of
total dollar volume done by each type
store during the past year.

Out-of -Stock Losses
How much business is the average drug
;ailer losing through his inability to sup-
s' what the consumer wants ? We know
t these losses must be considerable, be-
use no retailer can hope to handle every-
ing for which a consumer might ask. We
I however, have a definite means of meas-
jing the losses due to running out of stock ;
[at is, due to failure to supply a product
ich is ordinarily stocked in that store but
kich is temporarily out-of-stock.
The Nielsen Drug Index shows the per-
ltage of independent stores which, while
ndling an item regularly, are out-of-
>ek at any given date. These figures are
bwn for typical products in the follow-
*■ table. While the trend is favorable, it
uld seem that there is room for con-
lerable improvement. In the food indus-
', out-of-stock figures are considerably
ver — probably due to a much higher aver-
e order size placed by retailers.

The question has often arisen as to
whether being out-of-stock on a certain
brand or a certain size actually represents
a loss to the retailer or whether the custo-
mer merely accepts another brand or another
size. In an elaborate consumer survey which
we conducted in the Eastern states, an an-
swer to this question was obtained.
If the store is out of the desired size of
the brand requested:
28% of the housewives will take another
size
12% will take another brand
33% will go elsewhere to buy
27% will defer buying
This means that the retailer loses 60%
(27 + 33) of his possible or immediate
sales.
If the store does not stock the brand or
is out of the brand requested :
22% of the housewives will take another
brand
46% will go elsewhere to buy
32% will defer buying
This represents a loss of 78% (46 + 32)
of his possible or immediate sales.
No retailer can be expected to handle
every item that customers may request. How-
ever, adequate stocks of fast-moving sizes
of popular brands would enable retailers
to retain at least a portion of the possible
or immediate sales that are lost due to out-
of-stock conditions.
Variety Store Competition
The drug industry has been complaining
about competition from limited price variety
104
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
stores. Since the Nielsen Index has no
statistics on this subject, we must turn to
other sources.
In considering only the drug and toiletry
sales of drug stores, department stores, and
limited price variety stores, we find that the
gains made by the limited price variety
stores in these lines have probably been
over-emphasized.

Drug stores have increased their share of
the total drug and toiletries volume by the
same amount as have the limited price
variety stores during the past six years.
It is easy, however, to see how the variety
stores could create the impression of having
made greater inroads, because obviously
they concentrate their drug and toiletries
business on a very few types of "pre-sold"
goods. The introduction of sizes larger
than the 10c sizes in these stores may also
be a contributing factor.
It has also been contended that the varie-
ty stores cater to a different class of trade
than do drug stores and therefore the drug-
gist is limited in his opportunity to obtain
the business that goes to the variety store.
The following table (based on a recent
Nielsen consumer survey) shows that variety
store customers come largely from the lower
income groups, and these are the buyers to
whom the small sizes make their greatest
appeal. However, both independent and
chain drug stores reach a higher percentage
of lower income families than do the variety
stores, so it can be concluded that reasons
other than the income classes of families
served by each type of store must be re-
sponsible for the druggists' failure to cash
in on this business.

Variety store customers must travel grea"j

able when you consider that there are oi
about 12,000 variety stores compared w:
about 60,000 drug stores.

Based on these tables, drug stores haj
an advantage over variety stores in reachii'
a higher percentage of consumers in all 1
come classes and also in store locations.
Variety stores apparently have the a'
vantage over drug stores from a merely
dising standpoint as they are preferred
consumers because of price, small sizes, a.jj
displays.
It is my opinion that these advantag
are not insurmountable as the problem prd
ably resolves into educating consumers
the fact that these conditions can also
found in drug stores.
Consumer Buying Habits and
Preferences
The trends which I have shown you
far have all been obtained from reguli
Index data. In order to secure addition
information that might be helpful to I
tailers, our company makes a comprehensi'
consumer survey in some section of t'
country each year in an effort to obta
the reactions of the buying public in rega',
to their purchasing habits, why they tj
certain stores, why they stop trading wi1
certain stores and similar information.
In reviewing this material, please bej
in mind that this survey was made in ■
tain Eastern states, and while some of tt
facts would be applicable to any section
of country, others may serve only as
guide or as an indication of points th
should be watched in attempting to impro
your own store operations.

Readership of Retail Drug Store
Advertising
I In the area studied, 26% of the families
|ated that they read drug store advertis-
mg regularly, 28% seldom read the adver-
jisements, and 46% stated that they never
read drug store advertising. We feel that
pe families who say they seldom read drug
Idvertising should be considered as non-
feaders rather than readers. Readership in-
Ireases as incomes decrease, with 31% of
tie families in the lower income group read-
jig drug store advertising regularly as com-
lared with 14% in the upper income group.
The Influence of the Physician
I The average family, in the area studied,
[ses 4.1 prescriptions per year. This varies
pom 5.6 prescriptions per year in the upper
pcome families to 3.3 prescriptions per
iear in the lower income families.
The number of families who stated that
o prescriptions had been obtained during
he past year varied from 12% of the upper
icome families to 37% of the lower in-
ome families. These figures, no doubt, re-
ect to a certain extent the effect of the
octor leaving medicine with the family,
diich may not have been considered as an
ctual prescription by the family. Inas-
much as 10% of the families obtained medi-
ine in this manner, the number of prescrip-
ions obtained per year is probably low, as
jaeh time the doctor leaves medicine the
eed for obtaining a perscription at a drug
tore is eliminated.
That the prescription business is eon-
entrated in a relatively small number of
|amilies is shown by the fact that 21%
f the families buy an average of 11 pre-
options per family per year and account
or 62% of all prescriptions written.
When writing a prescription, the doctor
3commends a specific drug store in 29%
[f the cases, and his advice is "usually or
tways" followed in 85% of these cases.
Roughly, therefore, it may be concluded
lat the attitude of the doctor definitely
etermines about one fourth of your pre-
option business.
As a point of interest, nine out of ten
:ores recommended in this area were inde-
endent stores.
With these facts in hand, you can decide
ow much effort to expand in cultivating
our relations with the doctors.
Reasons for Preferring Stores Used
Regularly
The tAventy most important reasons, listed
in the order of their importance, volun-
teered by housewives for preferring the
stores used regularly are shown in the fol-
lowing table: (1) Convenient Location; (2)
Regular Low Price; (3) Reliable; (4) Per-
sonnel; (5) Store Service; (6) Doctor
Recommended; (7) Habit; (8) Variety;
(9) Special Sales; (10) Quality Goods;
(11) Likes Brands; (12) Good Delivery;
(13) Friend Recommended; (14) Good
Phone Service; (15) Credit; (16) Clean;
(17) Prescription Store; (18) Fresh Goods;
(19) Small Sizes (5-10e) ; and (20) One
Item.
In considering these reasons, the fact
must be kept in mind that certain condi-
tions are expected or accepted by con-
sumers, i.e., cleanliness, prescription store,
etc. As long as these conditions exist, or
are present, the average consumer may not
consider them important as a reason for
preferring a store. However, if the condi-
tion does not exist, the consumer may use-
it as a basis for a complaint against the
store, as a reason for stopping the use of"
the store, or as a reason for refusing to*
trade with the store.
It should also be noted that consumers
consider allied reasons, such as personnel
and store service (which is dependent to a
large extent on personnel) as separate and
distinct functions.
Summary of Reasons for Use of Stores
The following table summarizes the points
that are important in obtaining and hold-
ing customer patronage. The figures refer

apply.

Prosecutions
Herb Specialist
The N. C. Board of Pharmacy, together
with the Buncombe County Medical Society,
recently brought to a successful conclusion
the case of State vs. Goforth in the Bun-
combe County Superior Court, Asheville.
This case marked the first time that the
Board of Pharmacy has actively co-operated
with a medical society in investigating and
bringing to justice an individual charged
with "practicing medicine without a li-
cense.' '
Three days were recmired for the case ;
the defendant using 23 witnesses and the
State 17. Witnesses for the State testified
that the defendant had prepared an herb
tonic represented as having curative value
in the treatment of cancer and tumors and
had supplied ' ' Dynamite Pills ' ' in con-
junction with the tonic. A number of
State witnesses testified that they had pur-
chased the tonic at $12.50 per bottle &
twelve ounces.
The defendant testified that he had n(d
attended a medical school, that he was 1
a registered pharmacist in North Carol: tf
that he did not attempt to diagnose I
prescribe, but kept a supply of speciij
prepared herb remedies for those ij
wanted them for "general condition I
The defendant further testified that he I
not know whether his tonics were good I
any ailment ; that all he knew about I
tonics was what other people told hi
Additional evidence as brought out durl

had 10,000 testimonial booklets printed J

A Friend Whose Memory We Cherish
We were in Greensboro a few days ago
d we made it a special point to drop by
C. Fordham 's Drug Store. We always
joy talking to "C. C, " but this time we
nt especially to see the portrait of his
ther. This picture was painted shortly
per Mr. Fordham 's death and has been
bupying a prominent place in the phar-
itcy for quite a while, but we had not had
| opportunity of seeing it. It is a won-
jirful likeness of the elder Mr. Fordham
d it brought tears to our eyes when we
)ked at it. We remember meeting Mr.
■rdham just a short while after we formed
r connection with this office and through
p years he was always such a sincere
lend. We are glad that there is hanging
his store such a splendid portrait of him
it does you good to look at it !
The Third Generation
Dr. John A. McNeill owned a drug store
Shallotte many years ago which was
erated under the name of McNeill and
n — the son was Pharmacist Geo. R. Mc-
jill, who later moved the store to White-
le. It has been operated in recent years
McNeill's Drug Store. This June the
son of Mr. McNeill, II, graduated in phar-
macy at the State University and a few
days later passed the examinations of the
State Board of Pharmacy. This young man
bears the name of his grandfather, John
Albert McNeill. We had the pleasure of
talking to the graduate's father during the
Commencement season and wre don 't know
Avhether the son or the father was prouder
of the fact that another McNeill was ready
to begin the practice of pharmacy. The
youngest McNeill pharmacist is now asso-
ciated with his father and brother in the
Whiteville pharmacy which proudly bears
the name of McNeill and Sons. We wonder
how many other drug stores in the State
have pharmacists of the third generation
connected with them.
We Want to Know You!
One of the greatest pleasures we have is
meeting the families of our friends among
the N. C. P. A. and T. M. A. Every now
and then someone drops into the office be-
cause such friends have asked them to come
to see us. We are always delighted to have
such visits. A few days ago Mrs. A. N.
Martin, of Roanoke Rapids, came in and
we only wish that she had had longer to
stay Avith us. Then later in the week we
had the opportunity of meeting the lovely
daughter of Mr. C. A. Raysor, of Asheville.
Such occurrences are delightful incidents
in the work-a-day week. We only wish that
more of such guests would come our way.
We are always so glad to have you !
Following in Their Sires' Footsteps
We have just been looking over the appli-
cations for admission to the School of Phar-
macy next fall and we were struck by the
large number of sons of pharmacists who
have chosen pharmacy as their life work.
We think it is splendid when a son or a '
daughter learns to love the profession to
which their parents have given so many
years and elects to make that calling their
life work also.

Dean Spease Will Head New
N. A. R. D. Department
Edward Spease has resigned his position
as Dean of the College of Pharmacy of
Western Reserve University in Cleveland,
Ohio, to accept a full-time post in the
Chicago headquarters of the N. A. R. D.
It is expected that Dean Spease will begin
his new work about Sept. 1st, and he will
devote his talents to the promotion of inter-
professional relations. The new officer en-
joys a national reputation for his advanced
thinking on pharmaceutical subjects, his
work in the field of hospital pharmacy being
particularly outstanding. His department
at Reserve was the first to offer graduate
degrees in hospital pharmacy. He has been
Dean of the College of Pharmacy at the
Ohio institution for twenty-four years ; is
the author of textbooks on pharmaceutical
subjects; and holds membership in a large
number of pharmaceutical and chemical
societies.
Is There a Fifth Column in Your
Drug Store?
Weed out your own "fifth columns"
with self-discipline. This is the admoni-
tion of the N. A. E. D. Journal in a leading
editorial in its July 4 issue. "When the
owner of a drug store allows outside inter-
ests to divert too much of his time from
management of the store; when he has
money to discount current bills but reac
for his pocket whenever a pair of frecl
ivory cubes rattle; when he is more in
ested in the newspaper or pulp maga2i
than in customers; when he hasn't a sr
and a courteous word for people who c<|
to spend money with him; when his vaJ
leads to an obsession for publicity and
honorary offices which robs his store of
time and thought; then, indeed, is a ■
store variety of 'fifth column' at worl
declares the Journal. "If he is too voe
erous about his independence, too into!
ant of criticism and suggestions, he hi
self is plotting his own downfall, and j
independence is being undermined fr,
within." There is food for thought in tl
admonition.
Such Gifts Mean a Lot
The Library of the School of Pharma
at the State University acknowledges wi
grateful appreciation the gift of C.
Eubanks, of Chapel Hill, of a copy of t
2nd Edition of the National Dispensato

anxious to secure the volume in order
complete its files of this dispensatory.
There are quite a few other books need
by the Library and we hope very much th
other pharmacists will consider the Schd
when they are disposing of items from thej
collections of journals and books.

Refresher Courses," "Druggists' Business

pharmaceutical organizations through-
the country today. To this program
bringing practicing pharmacists up-to-
je on the neAver modes of medication and
liliarizing them with recent advances in
field of pharmacy, I give my unquali-
support.
?ew of us realize how fast we can get
in the march of progress. This is par-
ilarly true with so many advances being

mistry at the present time. It was but

sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine and a host
related compounds in rapid succession.
lay, sulfathiazole is being supplied us
the first time. Are you prepared to
wer questions from your physician on
I product?
j'here are those among us who say there
iio need for such a program ; that we are
lag in a "bottle to bottle" age. To these
luviduals I say that there is a greater
need today for an understanding of drugs
and their action than ever before. The
average graduate from the medical schools
of today receives less instruction in official
drug medication than did his predecessor
of 25 years ago, thus the pharmacist is in
position to make himself indispensable to
the physician. The successful pharmacist
recognizes this situation and keeps himself
informed not only on the newer drugs but
the older ones as well.
If a sufficient number of druggists in this
state are interested in a two- or three-day
postgraduate course in pharmacy, arrange-
ments can be made through the Extension
Division of the State University to make
such a program possible. You have but to
indicate your willingness to participate in
this work to make it available. As former
X. C. P. A. President Suttlemyre stated in
1938: "Physicians do postgraduate work,
farmers have short courses in extension
work, most trades have some plan of meet-
ing together for action upon their problems.
Why should not druggists devise some plan
of getting together for comparison of views,
and making acquaintance with up-to-date
points touching their everyday problems." —

Are the Days of Polypharmacy Past?
We think of pharmacy and medicine to-
day as having advanced a long way from
the practices of the Egyptians of some four
thousand or more years ago. In certain
respects, however, very little progress seems
to have been made.
The old custom of prescribing a great
number of substances to be compounded in-
to a single preparation for the patient to
take has its counterpart in many of our
present-day prescriptions.
The following is an example, and its
kind may be found on file at almost any
"Corner" Drug Store :
Tinct. Benzoin Comp dr. iss
Creo-Terpin Comp.
Waterbury's Comp. with
Creosote aa oz. iss
Syrup Cocillana Comp oz. i
Angier's Emulsion q.s oz. vi
When writing a prescription like this the
physician, as a rule, does not think about
how many shots he is loading into his gun.
On the labels of these five preparations are
listed a total of forty different ingredients,
each one to become a shot in the finished
prescription to shoot at the ailment of the
patient.
A list of the separate ingredients in-
cludes: alcohol, chloroform, creosote, terpin
hydrate, calcium glycerophosphate, sodium
glycerophosphate, syrup, petroleum oil, cal-
cium hypophosphite, sodium hypophosphite,
sodium benzoate, glycerin, acacia, water,
liver extract, pancreas extract, malt extract,
wild cherry extract, extract nux vomica, iron
phosphate, manganese peptonate, guaiacol,
aromatics, calcium lactate, iron and am-
monium citrate, sherry wine, corn syrup,
dionin, tinct. euphorbia, syrup wild lettuce,
tinct. cocillana, cascarin, menthol, antimony
and potassium tartrate, fldext. squill, fldext.
senega, benzoin, aloe, storax, tolu balsam.
The conditions which lead to the use of
so many ingredients in a single prescription
may be different but the result is the same
as that of long ago.
Physicians of today have spent eight or
ten years in the study of medicine, and yet
they are writing many of this type of pre-
scription. Their failure to write for U.
S. P. and N. F. preparations seems to indi-
cate clearly that the manufacturers ;
doing a better job detailing doctors til
the pharmacists.
Perhaps, enough is being said about §1
ting physicians to prescribe official mej
cines, but not enough is being done about
There is no reason to believe that the d

Your Prescription Department — a
Asset or Liability?*
By W. J. Smith
During the past year the North Carol
Board of Pharmacy has made it possible
me to visit every drug store in Westi
North Carolina and in so doing the Boj
gave me the unusual opportunity of
serving the stores of hundreds of druggi
in this state. This paper, therefore, is p
sented with the idea that some of my
servations may be of value to those of J
who do not have the opportunity to get
and see what your fellow' druggist is do
or failing to do.
The title of this paper, "Your Presci|
tion Department — An Asset or Liability
does sound a little unusual, especially si:
we assume that the prescription departm*
is one of the few remaining assets a ph
macist has left now that the drug field
been encroached upon by so many rliffer>
types of businesses. YTet, I have been
peatedly told by sincere pharmacists t
they would immediately discontinue tli
prescription department if they could
assured that companion sales would not
affected by such a move. This is surpris
since the prescription department is I
sidered the major reason for their being
the drug business and is the one departnU
of the entire store than can be develot
without fear of competition from the g
ceryman, the filling station proprietor,
Basically, however, the situation is no
serious one as it is essentially a quest
of dollars and cents. Many pharmacists
whom I have talked lament the fact 1

iced specialities to fill an ever-decreasing
imber of prescriptions each day. They are
a loss as how to cope -with the situation
id wind up by figuring ways to eliminate
e one department that offers more possi-
lities for development than any other in
e entire store.
If we are to survive as a professional
oup and continue to use our knowledge to-
irds the betterment of public health, it
hooves each and every one of us to direct
our energies towards the development
d extension of the one department that
n and will prove to be our salvation in the
ug business. Some of you have already
Cognized the tremendous importance of the
ascription department in your stores and
ye acted accordingly. Others, I fear,
e neglected this department to the extent
t it has become a liability rather than an
et.
ngineers tell us that any problem, when
uced to paper, no longer becomes a prob-
io let's examine the Asset-Liability
stion. On one hand we have a live-wire
aggist who keeps himself well informed
to what the medical profession is pre-
jibing and buys accordingly ; who keeps
prescription department clean and or-
•ly at all times ; who details his physi-
ns regularly; and who never passes up
opportunity to elevate himself in a pro-
sional way. On the other hand Ave have
lividuals who spend more of their time
tching their competitors than they do
rards improvement of their own estab-
Iments. Too many of our progressive
irmaeists have already proven that phy-
jians are ready and eager to prescribe to
the blame at their doorstep. It's rather
problem which we pharmacists must face
1 successfully solve if we are to continue
businesses in a profitable manner.
dention might be made at this time of a
nber of drug organizations in Western
rth Carolina that have and are still car-
ag on an effective campaign to increase
ir prescription business. I refer to Por-
Drug Store, of Concord, Tainter's of
rion, Salley's Drug Store, of Asheville,
I Bennett's Drug Store, of Bryson City.
pre are others that might be cited but
ft four stores just mentioned are doing
i unusually good job of selling "Phar-
macy" to the medical profession and the
general public. Some of these organiza-
tions fill 75 to 100 prescriptions every day
and they do so because someone has realized
the potentialities of the prescription depart-
ment and developed it wisely. Each organi-
zation has developed the department through
somewhat different approaches but one dom-
inant fact is outstanding. The professional
side of pharmacy has been emphasized in
each instance.
Undoubtedly, the success of any given
prescription department depends largely on
the personnel. I cannot emphasize this
point too strongly. Here, more than in any
other place in the store, your cheap help
will prove to be the more expensive help in
the long run. Obtain the services of a well-
trained pharmacist with plenty of pep and
personality, and you are well on your way
towards making your prescription depart-
ment an asset not only to your organization
but to your community as well. If you han-
dle all the details of this particular depart-
ment, keep yourself well informed as to
what the more successful pharmacists are
doing and direct your own business along
similar lines.
Special attention should be paid towards
the cleanliness of your prescription depart-
ment. Clean up, brighten up, lighten up
until you can honestly advertise your pre-
scription department as being "Hospital
Clean." A little elbow grease judiciously ex-
pended from day to day will pay rich divi-
dends. Nothing impresses a physician more
than to walk into a prescription department
and find a clean, orderly arranged stock of
drugs, chemicals, and specialities with a
qualified individual in charge.
It seems needless to mention the need for
an adequate stock of equipment and refer-
ence books, yet we have drug stores in this
state that are sadly lacking in these two
important and necessary items. Three books,
the latest editions of the IT. S. P., the 3ST. F.,
and the Receipt Book should be in every
pharmacist's library. The cost of the three
books — $15.00 — will be one of the best in-
vestments you can make towards building
the professional side of your business. A
number of our pharmacists have been agitat-
ing for the enactment of legislation which
will define minimum equipment for a drug

store. This is a worthy objective and I
hope that such legislation soon may be se-
cured in this state.
Distinguish your pharmacists from the rest
of your employees by having them wear
uniforms with the approved pharmacist in-
signia of academic green on white. One
of the leading manufacturers of professional
uniforms of New York has just created a
smartly styled yet practical pharmacist's
coat with insignia at the suggestion of
Ralph Bienfant, Professor of Pharmacog-
nosy at the University of Oklahoma. There
is a need for a standardized professional
coat for pharmacists; a coat that will dis-
tinguish them in such a manner that the
public will readily recognize their pharma-
ceutical character. Outstanding educators
throughout the country, such as Dean Elmer
L. Hammond, of the University of Missis-
sippi, have expressed their interest in the
establishment of a standard professional
coat for pharmacists. I heartily endorse
such a coat and hope that it will meet with
enthusiastic reception in this state.
Inventory, date and arrange your pre-
scription stock in a systematic manner. You
must have some plan whereby an item can
be located instantly without having to
waste valuable time in hunting for it. Re-
member, the physician and the patient are
both in a hurry and neither of them will
tolerate unnecessary delay. Since we now
have a large number of specialities to stock,
it is wise to date them and see that they
do not remain in stock after a reasonable
period if demand has not developed. Occa-
sionally, a gentle reminder to your local
physicians will help to move the merchan-
dise. If this fails, then the item should
be returned to the manufacturer for ex-
change or credit. All the reputable phar-
maceutical houses are glad to do this as
their success depends on the movement of
their products from your store; not in hav-
ing their products become "shelf-warmers."
Always attempt to fill the prescription. If
you are out of an item, call your nearby
pharmacist before turning the prescription
down. The co-operation which you will re-
ceive from your fellow druggist will be in
direct proportion to that which you offer
when he is in need of merchandise.

Trends in Pharmacy*
By Ralph W. Clark, Ph.D.,
Pharmacy Service Department,
Merck and Co.
The prescription department is important
pcause it is the distinguishing feature of a
rug store and because of the profit that
ay be derived from it and related depart -
ients in the store.
I Pharmacy has progressed hand in hand
(ith medicine, chemistry and other sciences
I isolating and synthesizing active prin-
ples and presenting them in the form of
bble, palatable and uniform pharmaceuti-
cs of established merit. Many worthwhile
pntributions to this development have been
lade by the pharmaceutical and medicinal
pemical industry. This trend, which repre-
tl-nts progress based upon research, makes
necessary for druggists who intend to de-
lop their prescription departments to be
ill informed on both official and non-
pcial products. They must use this infor-
ation to truly evaluate the products in-
plved from the point of view of the phy-
Jcian and the benefits to be derived by his
fitients.
Official preparations are now subject to
fore rapid change than in the past. The
:ruggist who intends to make professional
pntacts must be acquainted with the prog-
^ss being made in this field as well as the
lileidoscopie advance which is taking place
I nonoffieial medication. This can be done
y adding to his basic knowledge obtained
college or experience, by reading current
ledical and pharmaceutical journals as well
ji the house organs of wholesalers and man-
J.acturers. It is also essential to co-operate
lith the detail men of the ethical manu-
icturers.
|* Presented at the 1940 Convention of the
C. P. A.
As the ratio between official and non-
official preparations now used in compound-
ing prescriptions is approximately fifty-
fifty, the wise druggist balances his promo-
tional program accordingly. He may adopt
a program such as becoming more familiar
with one official and one non-official prod-
uct per week. Having become better in-
formed on a number of products, he can
then use this information to make profes-
sional contacts with the medical and dental
professions. When this is done, there is an
increase in prescription volume regardless
of the size or location of the drug store.
Druggists will agree to the statement that
increased volume comes as the reward for
plan and purpose. They also realize that
they have a right to exercise their profes-
sional knowledge to influence the physician
to prescribe various preparations or brands,
which they believe are to the advantage of
his patients. Some alert druggists carry
out such a program to promote their pre-
scription departments. They find very little
competition from other druggists, however,
because most druggists intend to but just
don't do it.
There are many other factors involved in
increasing prescription volume. The one
most commonly emphasized is the necessity
of sustained effort. Prescription depart-
ment appearance, and the attitude of the
druggist himself are two more important
factors which may be used to create a favor-
able impression.
It sounds reasonable that if a number of
prescriptions are being compounded in a
moderately good or even poor location an in-
crease in volume will follow if the location
is improved. This is precisely what hap-
pens when a prescription department is
modernized. The increase will not be phe-
nomenal in all eases, but an improved pre-
scription department is one of the factors
involved in increasing prescription volume.
The trend is towards semi-open prescrip-
tion departments. In them, the display of
drugs, chemicals and pharmaceutical equip-
ment may be regulated to meet the drug-
gist's requirements. We are prepared to
help you modernize your prescription de-
partment and we invite you to write us or
discuss your problems with our representa-

tives. Worthwhile improvements may be
made at comparatively low cost.
The druggist's personality and attitude
as reflected in giving or not giving a
prompt, courteous and intelligent service is
another important factor in successful pre-
scription department operation. Depend-
able pharmaceutical service rendered to a
physician and his patients inspires confi-
dence in the druggist and his store. Con-
fidence is synonymous with success. Confi-
dence is gained when the drug store reflects
professional responsibility. The drug store
expecting to do a good prescription volume
must stand for quality and dependability.
The labels of well-known and reputable con-
cerns, displayed on the druggist's shelves,
add prestige to the store and impress the
physician and his patients that the drug
store is a source of dependable service and
merchandise.
Druggists occupy a strategic public health
position. What the druggist needs most is a
realization on the part of the public and
members of public health professions, and
particularly of f7io.se in pharmacy of the
essential public health position occupied by
druggists. Those druggists who have made
good use of their strategic position have
shown an increased prescription volume,
while those who have not are showing a
loss. You may show an improved prescrip-
tion volume if you keep up-to-date on the
trends in pharmacy and recognize it as a
public health profession. Improved financial
success will follow a well-conceived program,
based on the operation and promotion of a
prescription department as a public health
service.
Protect Your Narcotics
Narcotic robberies in this state have
tripled in the past six months ; the increase
probably being due to addicts who find it
much more difficult to obtain their usual
supply from illicit channels now' that war
has interrupted the regular movement of
narcotic drugs from Europe and Asia.
Forged narcotic prescriptions are also on
the rise. Recently one of the Federal Nar-
cotic Agents stationed in N. C. picked up
57 forged prescriptions, all forged on the
same physician.
As a special precaution, we suggest that
you closely examine every narcotic prescri
tion before filling same. Above all, ke<
your narcotics securely locked, preferab
in the safe.

Chapel Hill for the benefit of its mei|
bers as well as non-members, namely :
C. P. A. Pharmacists' Employment Burei
and N. C. P. A. Information Bureau.
The Pharmacists' Employment Bmej

iRequirements for Labeling Drugs
Below is information concerning the
juirements for the labeling of drugs
pensed by the druggists, furnished by
sociate Chemist, W. A. Queen, of the
partment of Agriculture, Raleigh, North
rolina, who has charge of the enforcement
the drug part of the new Food, Drug
d Cosmetic Law.
(1) All drugs sold in package form must
ir a label containing the name and place
business of the manufacturer, packer or
tributor and an accurate statement of
> quantity of contents of the package.
(2) A drug, the name of which is recog-
;ed in an official compendium, may be sold
under the compendium name without list-
ing the active ingredients, except such active
ingredients as are required by section 15 (d)
of the North Carolina Food, Drug and Cos-
metic Act to appear on the label, if it con-
forms to the standards laid down in such
compendium and is packaged and labeled as
prescribed therein. If the drug differs in
strength, quality or purity from that set
forth in such compendium, it is necessary
to state on the label wherein and to what
extent the drug differs from the standard;
and no substitution for any ingredient is
permissible, even though such substitution
may be indicated on the label.
(3) In case of a drug not designated
solely by a name recognized in an official
compendium the label, in addition to the
required information set forth in (1) above,
must carry a list of all the active ingredients
contained in the drug, and show the quan-
tity or proportion of the drugs listed in and
required by section 15 (e) of the North
Carolina Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The
law requires that the drug be sold under its
common or usual name, if any there be. and
each ingredient is required to be listed
under its common or usual name also. If a
drug recognized in an offi ial compendium
is used as an ingredient of another drug,
such drug may be listed as an ingredient
under its compendium name without the
necessity of giving a list of its own in-
gredients, except such drugs as it may con-
tain, which are listed and required to be
stated on the label, in quantity and pro-
portion, by section 15 (d) of the North
Carolina Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
Any drug, of course, of whatever charac-
ter is required to bear a label which sets
forth adequate directions for use and ade-
quate warnings against use in pathological
conditions or by children where its use may
be dangerous to health, and against unsafe
dosage or methods of duration of adminis-
tration or application.
For a complete understanding of the la-
beling requirements of drugs, it is suggested
that section 15 in its entirety be read in
conjunction with sections 2 and 14 of the
Act.

News of Interest About North Carolina
Druggists and Drug Stores
FLASH: Other material of pressing im-
portance has made it necessary for us to
abbreviate our news columns this month.
It has also caused us to delete our "pet
gossipy section" after it was all written.
During the past year we have enjoyed partic-
ularly editing our "talkative page" and we
like to think that some of our readers have
looked forward to its appearance. It is for
these reasons that we are explaining why it
is not included this month. — A. N.

A recent bulletin from the American
Pharmaceutical Association under the head-
ing "Pharmacy and the National Defense
Program" stated in part that : "Considera-
tion has been given to the interests of the
schools and colleges of pharmacy, the stu-
dents of pharmacy, the pharmacies and drug
stores, and the individual pharmacists. In
case an emergency arises, the schools and
colleges and the students of pharmacy will
probably be required to operate much as
they were during the World War. Pharmacies
and drug stores would also probably be
dealt with as necessary institutions. It is
also probable that only those pharmacists
necessary for the National Defense Pro-
gram will be withdrawn from civilian serv-
ice and this number cannot be determined
until the final program is worked out. It
is planned to see that necessary pharma-
ceutical service for civilians will not be in-
terrupted and that an adequate service will
be made available to all armed forces and
others engaged in national preparedness."
A card from Phil Link, of Reidsville, tells
us that he is having a fine time in New
York City and "seeing everything from
drama down to burlesque."

Out in the country, too, the Lilly man is diligently
at work. For he is ubiquitous. No town is too small
and no city too large for him, so long as there are
physicians to be interviewed and pharmacists to fill
their prescriptions. Give the Lilly man a break.

who had played such a prominent part in
the organization of the N. C. P. A. and in
its development through the years.

ADJOURNED SESSION OF THE
ASSOCIATION
After a brief intermission President
Gattis called the N. C. P. A. to order at
eleven-thirty.
The first order of business was the roll
call.
Upon the motion of Acting Secretary-
Treasurer I. W. Rose, the roll call was dis-
pensed with since Assistant Secretary C. M.
Andrews, acting as registrar, was recording
the names of all present.
The minutes of the preceding meeting
were called for and upon motion of Acting
Secretary Rose, this was dispensed with
since the 1939 Proceedings had been pub-
lished in the October issue of the Carolina
Journal op Pharmacy and sent to all mem-
bers.
The next order of business was the Re-
ceipt of Resolutions. Attention was called
to the fact that every resolution should be
presented in writing to Chairman Roger A.
McDume, of the Resolutions Committee.
Vice-President Hollingsworth was called
to the chair while the President 's Address
was being read.
FIRST SESSION
The sixty-first annual convention of the
North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association
and its affiliated bodies, the Traveling
Men 's Auxiliary and the Women 's Auxil-
iary, was opened formally at eleven o'clock
on Tuesday morning, May 21, in the main
ballroom of the Hotel Charlotte in Char-
lotte, with a joint session of the three
bodies. Officers of the three organizations
(presidents and secretaries) were in joint
charge of the session's business program
and were seated at the officers' table.
President Phil D. Gattis, of Raleigh,
called the sixty-first annual convention of
the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion to order.
President J. W. Bennick, of Charlotte, de-
clared the twenty-seventh annual session of
the Traveling Men 's Auxiliary to be in ses-
sion.
Mrs. H. P. Watson, of Winston-Salem, as
president of the Women 's Auxiliary, for-
mally opened the Eighth Convention of the
Reorganized Auxiliary.
The invocation was made by Rev. W. M.
Boyce, Pastor of the First Associate Re-
formed Presbyterian Church.
Mayor Ben E. Douglas extended a cor-
dial welcome from the citizens of Char-
lotte.
First Vice-President Joe Hollingsworth
expressed the Association's pleasure over
meeting in Charlotte and stated that the
city had been well designated when it was
called both the Queen City and the Friendly
City.
Local Secretary R. P. Lyon welcomed the
delegates on behalf of the Charlotte drug-
gists, stating that the local group were anx-
ious to make every visitor 's stay pleasant.
Second Vice-President Ralph P. Rogers

PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS
I President Gattis: Mr. Chairman, Distin-
guished Guests, Fellow Members of the North
Carolina Pharmaceutical Association, Ladies and
Gentlemen :
Twenty-four years ago a frightened, timid
country boy from the hills of Wake, fresh from
the ordeal of passing the State Board examina-
tions, came to the even then metropolitan city
: (as cities went in North Carolina in those days),
■ of Charlotte, to take his first job as a registered
pharmacist. Today he is back in the Queen
jCity to preside over the deliberations of the
(Sixty-first Annual Convention of the North Caro-
lina Pharmaceutical Association.
I have never forgotten the cordial welcome the
people of this city accorded me in 1916. In
that day Charlotte was noted for its friendliness
and hospitality; the intervening years have added
to its fine reputation. Certainly, no welcome could
! be warmer or no hospitality could be more de-
lightful than has been shown to us since our
arrival in this city.
As I look backward I cannot but contrast the
Charlotte of 1916 with the Charlotte of today.
When I came here the city was very much like
a youth just emerging from boyhood but who
has not yet become a man. Charlotte was in the
process of emergence — it was suffering from
growing pains — but it was already giving prom-
ise of its future as a great commercial city.
Already its people were "pointing with pride"
to its Manufacturers Club and other evidences of
cityhood. Already it was casting baleful looks
and muttered imprecations at Winston-Salem, "the
upstart to the north." That was before the days
of paved highways. In winter Charlotte was an
island in a sea of sticky, red mud; in summer
it was an oasis in a desert of equally red dust.
More mule teams than automobiles were seen on
its streets. Yet Charlotte, then as now, was a
growing virile city where men's eyes were on the
future rather than on the past. Richly has the
Queen City achieved the realization of its dreams.
Pharmacy — Then and Now
Sixty years ago this Association was estab-
lished. Sixty years is a long time. I seriously
doubt whether there is a man present who re-
members the organization of this Association
(Dr. Zoeller and Mr. Hancock excepted) ; cer-
tainly there are no ladies present who remember
the event. Just as the Charlotte of 1940 differs
from the Charlotte of 1916 so does the North
Carolina of 1940 differ from that of 1880.
Moreover conditions in the drug business differ
vastly from those obtaining sixty years ago and
which led to the formation of this Association.
In 1880 the entire South, including North
Carolina, was just beginning to awaken from the
nightmare of war and reconstruction. Business
in those days was a relatively simple matter. In
every respect the drug business was different from
that of 1940. The principal concern of the
druggist — in fact almost his only activity — was
the dispensing of drugs. The standards of busi-
ness were personal rather than professional. It
remained for this Association to raise pharmacy
from a rather formless business to the dignity
and responsibility of a profession. Yet withal
we are still business men and our stores are
places of business. The prescription department,
though a most important department of our store,
is only one phase of our activity. The success-
ful druggist of today must be a master of mer-
chandising; an adept in advertising; and — at
least in North Carolina — a technician in taxation
if he is to remain in business and make a living.
To this Association, more than to any other one
influence, do the pharmacists of North Carolina
owe the progress that has been made in our
profession and the proud position it occupies in
our State today.
The life of the druggist of 1880, or even of
1916. was relatively simple. He was the friend
of his customer. He knew their strengths and
their weaknesses. He shared with them their
joys and their sorrows. Today? Well, need I
describe the life of the pharmacist, 1940 edition !
Travels Over the State
During the past three months I have visited
some three hundred drug stores. In talking with
the proprietors I have discovered that there is a
widespread ignorance among pharmacists con-
cerning the purposes and the methods and activi-
ties of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Asso-
ciation— the organization which for sixty years
has been working in this State for the advance-
ment of ethics and standards of pharmacy. I
have found also a startling lack of co-operative
spirit among some of our druggists. Co-opera-
tion is the key to progress in this or in any other
field. For instance, it is co-operation through the
years among the pharmacists of North Carolina
which has lifted pharmacy from a trade to a
profession.
Appreciation
The greatest honor this Association can bestow
has come to me. Deeply do I appreciate the
honor you have conferred upon me in allowing
me to serve as your president. I thank you sin-
cerely. And to the other officers of the Associa-
tion ; to the Faculty of the School of Pharmacy
at the State University ; and to other members
who have contributed so generously of their time
and energy as well as their experience to the
affairs of this organization I express my deep and
sincere gratitude. My term as president has been
to me a very wonderful experience. I regret that
I have not been able to contribute more effec-
tively to the advancement of our Association.
Recommendations
1. I recommend that the Secretary-Treasurer of
the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association
visit every drug store in the State between con
ventions. I feel that some of the druggists of
North Carolina are ignorant of the meaning of
ethics and co-operation in the organization's work.
132
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
2. I recommend that President Fordham's sug-
gestion at the High Point meeting regarding the
appointment of a committee to give assistance to
the Editor of the Journal, be put into effect.
3. Strict enforcement of the Pharmacy Laws.
Until the laws are strictly enforced conditions in
North Carolina will never improve. We have
several stores in our State, operating as drug
stores without one registered druggist. I feel
that we should have two inspectors, for one man
cannot cover the State. If the laws we have
today are inadequate we should go before the
General Assembly and improve them.
4. I recommend that every pharmacist reaching
the age of sixty-five be given a lifetime member-
ship. There are now about ten pharmacists of
this age in North Carolina who are actually en-
gaged in the practice of pharmacy.
5. I recommend that we continue the scholar-
ship at the University of North Carolina, pro-
vided funds are available. This award is to be
made to a deserving student of pharmacy.
6. I urge the druggists of the State to give
better co-operation to the manufacturers who
signed the Fair Trade contract. Unless we do,
we are going to lose the gains we have made
along this line.
7. The Executive Committee announces with
regret the resignation of Dean J. G. Beard as
Secretary-Treasurer of this Association. I recom-
mend that Mr. Beard be made Historian with-
out pay for the Association. In this capacity
he would act as custodian of the historical and
biographical material that has been assembled.
It should be readily available to the new Secre-
tary-Treasurer as well as to all other interested
parties, and new matter should be added regularly
to its files. Mr. Beard has consented to do this
for the Association as all the material has been
compiled in his offices at the University.
Conclusion
May I take this occasion to thank Mr. Bob
Lyon, our Local Secretary, Mrs. Boyce Hunter,
President of the Charlotte Woman's Auxiliary, and
Mr. Jack Bennick, Local Chairman of the Travel-
ing Men's Auxiliary, for the splendid plans I
know they have made for our entertainment. I
cannot close this address without also expressing
appreciation to our Women's Auxiliary for their
splendid co-operation and support throughout the
year.
Upon motion the President 's Address was
referred to a committee for consideration.
Vice-President Hollingsworth appointed as
the Committee on the President 's Address
Messrs. F. H. Cline, Chairman, W. S. Wolfe
and W. L. Moose.
At the sixth and final session the above
committee rendered the following report :
EEPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS
The Committee, appointed by the Chairman to
report on the Address by the President, submits
the following:
We commend Mr. Gattis, our President, for his
splendid service and unceasing efforts to contact
the membership of the Association, and we ap-
prove and recommend the adoption of the follow-
ing recommendations embodied in his address,
designated by numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) F. H. CLINE, Chairman,
W. S. WOLFE,
W. L. MOOSE.
The several recommendations were acted
upon seriatim and then the report of the
Committee on the President's Address was
adopted as a whole.
President Gattis resumed the chair.
Upon the request of President Gattis Mr.
W. L. Stone presented to the audience the
visiting speaker of the morning, Dr. E. C.
Billheimer, Assistant Vice-President in
Charge of Manufacturing, E. R. Squibb and
Sons.
RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
VITAMIN FIELD
By E. C. Billheimer
Dr. Billheimer gave a most scholarly pres-
entation of the subject of Vitamins. He
discussed each of them from a scientific
standpoint, mentioning their uses in fighting
the deficiencies in the body brought about
by modern, unbalanced diets. He de-
scribed the source of the several vitamins,
explained the choice of initials as their
means of identification, and gave a brief
outline of the diseases they are expected to
cure. He also gave the symptoms which
arise from deficiency in diet and told of a
number of conditions which have been cor-
rected or prevented by vitamins. The hope
that new important factors to help relieve
present deficiencies may be discovered in the
near future was expressed by the speaker.
President Gattis thanked Dr. Billheimer
for his splendid address.
At this point the President presented Mr.
Turner F. Currens, Vice-President of the
Norwich Pharmacal Co., mentioning that he
was a member of the N. C. P. A. and had
served as Local Secretary for the New York
meeting in 1926.

VITAMINS
By Turner F. Currens
The speaker took up the subject of vita-
mins from a commercial standpoint and em-
phasized their importance as a business
item. He appealed to the druggists ' ' to
look out for themselves and to hold on to
their Vitamin business — if they lost that it
would be mighty easy for other items to
travel likewise." Mr. Currens set forth
ample proof that this danger existed and
"endeavored to set up a prescription for
the trouble ' ' via better displays, etc. As a
good illustration of Vitamin items a book-
let was distributed.
The appreciation of the audience was ex-
pressed to Mr. Currens for his helpful ad-
dress.
Following the awarding of prizes the
meeting adjourned.
SECOND SESSION
The second session of the N. C. P. A. was
called to order by President Gattis at three
o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Secretary I. W. Rose read telegrams of
greeting from John W. Dargavel, Executive
Secretary of the N. A. R. D., Kappa Ep-
silon, E. C. Daniel, W. C. Ferrell, Cliff Weil
Cigar Co., and Magnus Mabee and Reynard,
Inc., as well as a number of messages from
individuals and organizations in Durham
urging the Association to hold the 1941
convention in their city. There was also a
letter of invitation from the Wrightsville
Beach Board of Trade.
The report of the Membership Committee
was called for.
REPORT OF THE MEMBERSHIP
COMMITTEE
This Committee does not have a great deal to
report. This year, however, has not been a bad
one for the Association for we have had 83
members to come into our organization.
It seems to me that with so many local drug
clubs being organized throughout the State that
we have a good set-up to secure a great many
new members for the N. C. P. A. If our Secre-
tary will contact the officers of these drug clubs
I am sure we could get a good response and a
great many new members.
Let's each and every one of us keep on the
look-out for new members and when we do see
or know of a prospect, notify the Secretary.
For the benefit of those who may have for-
gotten, the dues for a regular member who is a
drug store owner are $10.00, and for clerks,
$4.00 annually.
Let's all of us work hard for new members.
(Signed) RALPH P. ROGERS,
Chairman, Membership Committee
The report of the Membership Committee
was accepted with thanks.
The next order of business was the re-
port of the Executive Committee.
REPORT OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE
First Session
The first meeting of the Executive Committee
for the year 1939-1940 was held in the Sir
Walter Hotel in Raleigh, June 21, with every
member present.
Copies of the Auditor's Report of the books
of the Secretary-Treasurer as well as his recom-
mendations were read, studied and approved.
Upon the motion of Ferrell-Suttlemyre the Audi-
tor's suggestion was likewise approved that "all
dismemberments should be authorized in writing
by a responsible officer showing in detail name
and amount owed," and it was ruled that such
officer should be the Chairman of the Executive
Committee.
The Secretary pointed out the inadequacy of
the revenue received from the Beal Fund to meet
annually the cost of a membership in the Asso-
ciation to the State Board candidate making the
highest average for the year. Mr. Suttlemyre
promised, and his offer was accepted, to see Dr.
J. H. Beal in August and discuss this question
with him. The matter was held in abeyance
until a report of this conference could be ob-
tained.
Upon further study of the Auditor's Report
and upon consulting the By-Laws, a motion of
Ferrell-Suttlemyre was adopted that read as
follows: Any member who on May 31 (end of
the fiscal year) owes two years dues and who
will owe three years on June 1st shall be noti-
fied not later than August 1st of this arrearage
and shall be told that unless his account is re-
duced to a point not greater than for two years
he will be dismembered. Each field worker shall
be notified of this action and shall be requested
to use special efforts to make collections from
such delinquent members and at the same time
be advised of the By-Laws requirement that such
members shall not be eligible for membership
again until they pay an amount equal to two
years and dues for the current year in advance.
Messrs. Suttlemyre-Ferrell successfully moved
that the Executive Committee recommend to the
Association that the fiscal year be made identi-
cal with the calendar year to render simpler the
bookkeeping system and in order that annual
certificates of membership may show definitely
the time period covered by the certificate. The
134
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
motion carried with it a request that an edi-
torial of explanation be carried in an early issue
of the Journal, with a request that the members
consider thfe proposal and submit expressions of
their views.
The Committee subscribed to a motion by Sut-
tlemyre-Rogers that the Association continue its
offer of a scholarship in the School of Pharmacy
for the year 1939-1940.
Upon motion of Fordham-Ferrell it was decided
to follow the usual custom in respect to the elec-
tion of a Local Secretary and the time of the
next annual meeting. The Chairman and Secre-
tary of the Committee were empowered to con-
fer with Charlotte druggists and make a recom-
mendation in these two regards to the Committee
at its January meeting.
Upon motion of Fordham-Rogers it was ordered
that Mr. Bowman be retained at his same salary
for the coming year.
In this same connection, Ferrell-Suttlemyre
moved that the Board of Pharmacy be requested
to help the Association by contributing not less
than $1,000 to be employed in paying Mr. Bow-
man's salary and that the Secretary should ad-
dress such request to the members of the Board
with the explanation that the latter would use
such portion of his time as necessary to help the
Secretary in a legal way but for obvious reasons
not to be expected to prosecute members of the
Association directly.
Upon motion of Suttlemyre-Rogers Miss Alice
Noble was retained at her same salary for the
coming year.
Upon motion of Fordham-Suttlemyre a tele-
gram signed jointly by the members of the Com-
mittee was ordered sent to Senator Robert R.
Reynolds requesting his support of the District of
Columbia Fair Trade Bill.
Upon motion of Suttlemyre-Ferrell the Execu-
tive Committee authorized Mr. F. O. Bowman to
make corrections in the dues accounts of such
members as in his studied judgment should be
changed from proprietor to clerk and vice versa.
Upon motion of Fordham-Ferrell, the Chairman
was authorized to appoint a Committee to study
ways and means by which an Institute of Phar-
may might be established at the University of
North Carolina during the Summer of 1940. The
Committee was named as follows: Messrs. Suttle-
myre, Chairman, Fordham, and Beard.
The meeting adjourned.
Second Session
The Executive Committee met January 16 with
all members present.
The Secretary-Treasurer presented a prepared
financial report of the Treasury. The report was
accepted.
The Committee authorized the acceptance of two
shares of American Druggist Fire Insurance Co.
stock that had been secured by Mr. Suttlemyre
and ordered the payment of $100 for this stock.
It was shown that Dr. Beal had contributed about
$17 to the purchase of this stock and the Secre-
tary was directed to write a letter of apprecia-
tion to Dr. Beal. The Secretary was permitted
to purchase the paid-up share of stock in the
Orange County Building and Loan Association
which the Association held in order to buy the
above druggists' insurance stock.
Upon motion of Ferrell-Rogers the balance of
$44.34 received from Mr. A. C. Cecil, Local
Secretary for the 1939 meeting, is to revert to
the general fund.
Upon motion of Fordham-FerreU, the Committee
determined that all unused monies reported by
each year's local secretary shall go into the gen-
eral fund without ear-mark for any particular
purpose.
It was understood that the scholarship offered
by the Association to a student of pharmacy for
1939-1940 is to be held until next year and then
awarded without prejudice that might result, from
the fact that a suitable applicant was not found
this year.
By unanimous consent the date of the 1940
convention was fixed as May 21-22-23. Also by
unanimous voting Mr. R. P. Lyon was selected
Local Secretary of the convention. The Hotel
Charlotte was voted convention headquarters.
The Committee authorized the purchase of the
"Food and Drug Service" offered by Prentice-
Hall at a cost of $36.00 a year for 1940.
It was the sense of the group that many of
the reports at the 1940 convention be submitted
by title and published in the Proceedings.
The Committee adjourned.
Third Session
The Third Session of the Executive Committee
was held in Chapel Hill, February 22, with all
members present except Messrs. Ferrell and Sut-
tlemyre. Mr. Beard tendered his resignation as
Secretary-Treasurer and as Managing Editor of
the Journal effective March 15. This resigna-
tion was accepted upon motion of Messrs. Beard-
Hollingsworth.
Upon motion of Fordham-Rogers a letter of ap-
preciation is to be prepared and sent to Mr.
Beard by the President.
Messrs. Fordham-Rogers moved that Mr. I. W.
Rose be appointed as Acting Secretary-Treasurer
and as Acting Managing Editor of the Jol-rnal
until June 30.
Messrs. Rogers-Hollingsworth moved that the
sum of $50 be paid Mr. Rose and $75 to Miss
Noble for the work of preparing the Journal
for the May, June and July issues. This amount
represents the salary that would have been paid
to the Managing Editor.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) J. G. BEARD,
Secretary.
Fourth Session
The fourth meeting of the Committee was held
May 20 at Charlotte with all members present
except Mr. W. C. Ferrell.
The Acting Secretary-Treasurer report«d that
the cost of a bond for the short period which he
is to serve would be the same as for an entire
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy 135

Third Vice-President : W. M. Salley, Asheville.
Member of the Executive Committee for a Three-
Tear Term : Phil D. Gattis, Raleigh.
Respectfully submitted.
(Signed) I. W. ROSE,
Acting Secretary-Treasurer.
PAPERS AND QUERIES
Upon motion the report was accepted with
thanks.
The following committees were appointed
?by President Gattis: Nominating: M. B.
Melvin, Chairman, E. E. Thomas, E. R.
Copeland, C. R. Whitehead, E. H. Tate, D.
L. Boone, and L. M. Jarrett; Time and
Place of Next Meeting: C. L. Eubanks,
Chairman, J. G. Ballew, and J. C. Brant-
ley, Jr.
At this point the meeting was turned over
to Chairman E. F. Rimmer and his asso-
ciates on the Papers and Queries Committee,
Messrs. Phil Link and J. C. Brantley, Jr.
The program consisted of a dramatization
of the subject of "Turn-over." It was
based on the search of the druggist to
achieve financial success in the conduct of
his drug store. It showed that in this quest
the pharmacist reaches a decision finally
that what his business needs and must find
is ' ' Turnover. ' ' The search for this mys-
terious "Turnover" furnished the theme for
the development of the program.
The dramatization began with "an im-
promptu dialogue ' ' between Chairman
Rimmer and Mr. A. C. Cecil on the problems
of the individual druggist, bringing out the
point that if the druggist can solve the
turnover problem he has accomplished his
most difficult task.
Then followed an acrobatic dance by a
comely young woman — ' ' A nifty turnover
from an esthetic standpoint but not filling
the need of the perplexed pharmacist."
Xext the chef of the Hotel Charlotte ap-
peared with a most tempting apple turn-
over. The Chairman remarked that such
food is very appetizing but it is still not
the ' ' Turnover ' ' the aforesaid druggist re-
quires.
Mr. Phil Link was called upon to discuss
a turnover "to avoid as long as possible,"
and he used as his subject "Disadvantages
of Too Much Turnover in Personnel. ' '
DISADVANTAGES OF TOO MUCH
TURNOVER IN PERSONNEL
By Phil Link
The speaker felt that it would be inter-
esting to consider the disadvantages of
changing clerks too frequently. The aver-
age customer, all other factors being equal,
buys at a certain store because he knows
and likes the people who work there. The
buying eccentricities of customers should
be carefully regarded — a new clerk may ir-
ritate a purchaser through ignorance of in-
dividual traits. If a customer has to be
constantly educating new clerks to his buy-
ing habits he may carry his business to a
firm that isn't always making changes in
personnel. A patron likes to see the same
faces in a store and, most important of all,
a customer does not like to have a new
140

clerk filling his prescriptions. A new clerk
cannot learn the stock quickly and frequent
changes in errand boys affect the efficiency
of delivery service. With a turnover in per-
sonnel a corresponding change in store
policy results.
Chairman Rimmer remarked that he felt
sure that the audience would agree that the
points brought out in the paper are com-
mendable. We are on the right track, but
we still have not found the complete answer
to "Turnover." He then called on Mr. J.
C. Brantley, Jr. to discuss another ' ' Turn-
over" to avoid as long as possible.
Mr. Brantley discussed, "The Disadvan-
tages of Deviating Too Far From An Ethi-
cal Drug Business."
THE DISADVANTAGES OF DEVIAT-
ING TOO FAB FROM AN ETHICAL
DRUG BUSINESS
By J. C. Brantley, Jr.
It seems that the majority of drug stores
still carry many items unrelated to phar-
macy. This is not for the best interests of
our profession. Conditions would be im-
proved by a return to a more ethical drug
business. ' ' The pharmacist is beginning to
realize that a better living can be made by
exploring the professional services of ethi-
cal pharmacy. ' ' The time is fast approach-
ing when the physician and the pharmacist
should unite their professional abilities and
skill for the best interests of both groups.
"It is to the advantage of the public for
the healing professions to work and co-ordi-
nate their talents, and this can be done suc-
cessfully only if Pharmacy continues its
educational advancement and ethical pro-
fessional service to the sick and indigent. ' '
Chairman Rimmer observed that the
speaker's remarks were commendable but
that a complete answer to the question of
' ' Turnover ' ' had not yet been given. There-
upon he presented to the audience Vice-
President L. O. Heideman, of the Neilsen
Drug Index, who gave a most comprehen-
sive and interesting address on the sub-
ject of "Turnover."
TURNOVER
By L. O. Heideman
This address, showing the relation of
turnover to the business of the average
drug store, was published in full in th<
August issue of the Carolina Journal oi
Pharmacy.
The above address completed the nove^
and instructive program of the Papers anc
Queries Committee.
Chairman Rimmer and his Committed
were extended the enthusiastic thanks of th<
Association for the time and thought the}
had given to the preparation of their pro
gram.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
THIRD SESSION
The third session was called to order by
President Gattis at ten o'clock on Wednes-
day morning, May 22.
The first order of business was the an-
nual report of the Secretary-Treasurer of
the North Carolina Board of Pharmacy.
The report was read by Secretary-Treas-
urer F. W. Hancock and will be found in a
later section of the Proceedings devoted toj
the Board of Pharmacy.
Upon motion of Mr. R. P. Rogers, duly
seconded, the report was accepted with!
thanks.
The report of Attorney F. O. Bowmanj
was called for.
REPORT OF ATTORNEY
F. 0. BOWMAN
Mr. President and Members of the North Caro
Una Pharmaceutical Association :
I have the honor to submit at this time my
20th Annual Report as Attorney for your Asso-
ciation.
Inasmuch as I am scheduled to present a report
as Executive Secretary of the Fair Trade Com-
mittee later, this report will he confined to other
activities engaged in and some matters of interest
to our membership, aside from that of Fair Trade.
Incidentally, to my mind, Fair Trade is the most
important subject of all and the one and only
plan thus far devised and obtained that possesses
full possibilities of salvation for the drug indus
try, and especially for the retail druggists, not
only in North Carolina but in the entire nation
as well, if only it is given the support to which
it is entitled.
At the outset, let me say that President Gattis
wisely suggested some weeks ago that convention
reports should be as short as possible, stating
that it was sometimes tiresome to be forced to
listen to longwinded reports and speeches. Tak-
ing the cue from Pres. Phil and being in perfect
agreement and accord with his suggestion, I have
endeavored to observe brevity throughout and
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
141
trust that I shall have finished before a bored or
tiresome reaction manifests itself in too many
quarters.
The report consists of :
First — A statement dealing with the collection
of dues and the securing of new members for the
Association ;
Second — A discussion of the new Pure Pood,
Drug and Cosmetic Law; and
Third — A survey of the Legislative outlook for
the 1941 General Assembly.
Again during this year, because of the large
amount of time it has taken in the promotion
of the Fair Trade Movement; the additional work
occasioned by the enactment of the new drug
law; together with the weeks that have been
spent in sponsoring candidates for the next Legis-
lature who have been our genuine friends and
who have stood by us when their votes and help
saved us from defeat, and likewise, in contact-
ing and helping others whom we hope to have
as our friends next January when the biennial
legislative fight begins, I have been unable to
spend but little time traveling over the State
for the purpose of collecting dues and getting
new members. I did manage, however, to spend
some three or four weeks altogether in this work,
and succeeded in collecting around $700,00 in
dues and securing more than a dozen new Asso-
ciation members.
It appears to be a foregone conclusion that if
we are to keep our membership what it should
be and the Association Treasury in even a fairly
satisfactory condition, it will be absolutely neces-
sary for some representative of the Association to
spend considerable time during the coming year
actually in the field calling personally on drug
store proprietors and clerks for the primary pur-
pose of collecting dues, obtaining reinstatements
and securing new members.
In this connection, let me say that if it shall
be the will of the Executive Committee that this
work be done by me, I pledge myself to spend
whatever time it takes and is necessary to cover
the State in a effort to restore both the member-
ship and funds of the Association to their former
status, so that the good work done for its mem-
bers in the past may continue unhampered.
Now, with respect to the new Pood, Drug and
Cosmetic Law, enacted by the 1939 Legislature
to become effective January 1, 1940, almost five
months ago, we find ourselves but slightly better
equipped with information concerning its applica-
tion and operation than we were at the High
Point convention a year ago. Of course, we
have been furnished with interpretations on some
phases of the law, and also, some rulings have
been promulgated. But in the main, these have
dealt with the sale of dangerous drugs, and have
come from the Federal Drug Administration
rather than State authorities.
Just prior to its effective date, Dr. B. W.
Kilgore, Chief Chemist of the State Department
of Agriculture, under whose direct supervision
the enforcement of the law is lodged, made the
following observations, indicating the policies to
be followed in the application and operation of
the new law.
"A new Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act was
passed by the Legislature of 1939 and goes into
effect on January 1, 1940. This Law covers
foods, drugs and cosmetics and will supersede the
old Food and Drug Law.
"The Commissioner and the Board of Agricul-
ture will be responsible for the enforcement of
the food provisions of the new law, as they have
enforced the provisions of the old law. The old
law has been in effect for some thirty odd years
and very satisfactory results have come from its
operation.
"Only a limited amount of work has been done
on drugs, while the cosmetic part of the 1939
law is new, there having been no State law on
this subject until the present Act was passed.
"In the enforcement of the Drug and Cosmetic
portions of the new law, the Board of Health,
the Board of Pharmacy, and the Board of Agri-
culture will co-operate and be responsible for
carrying out the provisions of the law. It is the
purpose of these three agencies vigorously to en-
force the provisions of the law relating to drugs
and cosmetics, working together in the inspection
of all drugs and cosmetics and making analyses
of products to see that such products meet the
requirements of law and standards or claims for
them.
"The new State Law follows closely the provi-
sions of the Federal Law, and the State and
Federal Governments will co-operate in the work.
It will be necessary for products manufactured
in the State or outside of the State and sold in
interstate commerce to meet the requirements of
the Federal Law. When this is done the prod-
ucts will, in all likelihood, meet the requirements
of the State Law. It is advised that our manu-
facturers of drugs and cosmetics look carefully
into the provisions of the Federal Law and pre-
pare to meet its requirements as to labeling, ad-
vertising and other matters. Our retail drug-
gists should follow the same course and plan to
move products now on their shelves not meeting
the requirements of the Federal Law and regula-
tions before January 1st.
"While attention is now being given to State
definitions and regulations, it is the purpose of
the State Administration to accept the Federal
regulations in so far as they are applicable to
State conditions, which, we expect, will result
mainly in the same set of regulations and provi-
sions for the Federal Government and for the
State. This statement is made in the hope that
it will be helpful to our drug trade in the State
in getting ready for the operation of the new
State Law and the Federal Law. It is the
intention to use the new State Law to strengthen
present drug laws and every effort will be made
to help the drug trade of the State in every
way possible."
Though progress has been slow in getting a
new drug law under way, we may expect definite
action soon insofar as the Federal Law is con-
cerned. A meeting of State and Federal Drug
142
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Officials is being held in Washington this week
for the purpose of ironing out certain contro-
verted provisions contained in the regulations that
have been prepared and are now under con-
sideration. When conclusions have been reached,
the regulations will then be promulgated, which
under the provisions of the Federal Act will have
the same force and effect as the law itself.
As indicated in Dr. Kilgore's statement, it is
likely that the Federal regulations will be adopted
by our State authority, in toto. At the same time,
however, our law requires that public hearings
must be held, with ample notice given to inter-
ested parties, before such action may be taken.
In this connection, there appears to be little
likelihood that a great deal will be done toward
putting our State Drug Law in operation until
next year. The Act carried no appropriation,
hence no funds are available for the work. The
Department of Agriculture, therefore, necessarily
will be curtailed in its activities until provision
is made for the enforcement of the Act. Suitable
laboratories will be set up by the Department and
a pharmaceutical chemist will be employed in the
meantime, but beyond this little more may be ex-
pected until an appropriation from the 1941
General Assembly comes through.
Let us now take up the requirements govern-
ing the sale of certain specific drugs provided by
interpretative regulations under authority of a
new drug law.
First — Barbiturates. All derivatives of barbi-
turic acid such as amytal, phenobarbital, luminal,
etc., may be sold as heretofore, that is in accord-
ance with the provisions of the North Carolina
Hypnotic Drug Law, provided that the statement
'Warning — May be habit forming" is written,
printed, or stamped upon the label of the package
in which sold.
These items, of course, may be sold upon pre-
scription and may be refilled. When sold upon
prescription, however, the label must likewise bear
the statement "Warning — May be habit form-
ing" unless such prescription bears the wording
"Not refillable," or some similar designation,
written thereon by the prescribing physician.
In this event, the warning referred to is not
required on the label. (Barbituric Acid as such
may be sold pursuant to prescription only.)
Second — Aminopyrine, Cinchophen, Neocincho-
phen, Sulfanilamide, preparations containing any
of these, and all their derivatives may be sold only
upon prescription and may not be refilled.
Third — Dinitrophenol and Dinitrocresol or any
product containing these chemicals, designed for
human use, may not be sold, not even pursuant to
prescription.
All drug products dispensed from the origi-
nal package from the manufacturer must be
labeled, of course, in accordance with the label-
ing provisions of the new Act.
The principal requirements as they relate to
the labeling of drugs, prepared by the Federal
Food & Drug Administration, were published in
the January issue of the Journal. Numerous
articles have appeared from time to time in many
of the drug journals of the country on the sub-
ject. Likewise, some National Associations have
prepared for the trade hundreds of labels suit-
able for use under the Federal Law as well as
those states having laws with similar labeling pro-
visions. Most of these are for official prepara-
tions, and in this particular, it is felt that a
large majority of our retailers are fairly well in-
formed. There remains some confusion, however,
as to the labeling of many of the "non-official
compounds" by retail druggists who dispense
them. We are now working for a clarification of
this proposition. This information will be fur-
nished the druggists of the State when the matter
has been worked out.
As indicated above much remains to be done
and to be learned about this new and, to a large
extent, untried law. Patience, perseverance and
study will be required by every druggist if he is
to keep abreast with the developments that will
necessarily take place from time to time.
Under the provisions of the Rubbing Alcohol
Compound Regulation (T. D. 4963) promulgated
January 18 and effective February 18, 1940, the
sale of all Rubbing Alcohol Compounds at retail
to consumers for use was restricted to drug stores
only, through registered pharmacists who are re-
quired at the time of sale "to write or stamp
across the brand label in contrasting colors 'Sold
By', followed by the pharmacist's name and the
address of the retail drug store where the sale
was made."
No provision, whatever, was made for the sale
of this product by either an assistant pharmacist
or by a physician operating a drug store under a
permit from the Board of Pharmacy. This situa-
tion was communicated immediately to Mr. Row-
land Jones, Washington Representative of the
N. A. R. D., who succeeded in getting a supple-
mentary ruling from the Department taking care
of the matter by providing as follows :
"It is the view of this office that any person,
whether he is a registered pharmacist, assistant
registered pharmacist, assistant pharmacist, phar-
macy apprentice, or physician, empowered by the
laws of the State in which he practices, or is
licensed, to compound prescriptions, dispense
drugs, or otherwise perform the functions gen-
erally attributed to a registered pharmacist, may
be considered to be a 'registered pharmacist'
within the purview of Treasury Decision 4963.
"Accordingly, this office sees no reason why
such person may not sell rubbing alcohol com-
pound, provided that, at the time of sale, he
writes or stamps across the brand label in con-
trasting colors the words 'Sold by' followed by his
name and the address of the retail drug store
where the sale is made."
Rubbing Alcohol Compounds, therefore, in
North Carolina may be sold only by a licensed
pharmacist, a registered assistant pharmacist or
by a licensed physician, under the conditions set
forth for the sale of this product in the amended
decision referred to.
While we have not had a Legislative session to
contend with this year, at the same time one of

the most colorful political campaigns in the his-
tory of the State has heen carried on for the
past several months hy the hundreds of candi-
dates seeking offices from the governorship on
down the line to the lowest elective office at the
hands of the people. Between three and four
hundred candidates from the respective counties
of the State are out for election to the next
General Assembly, when as a matter of fact this
body consists of only 170 members — 120 repre-
sentatives and 20 senators. Responding to calls
of many of these men who are up for re-election
and who have been staunch friends of our retail
druggists, casting their votes for us and helping
us when votes and help really counted, I have
visited more than 50 of the 100 counties in the
State during the past several weeks in behalf of
these men and have helped them in every way I
possibly could. Besides, I have made contacts
with many others who will likely be elected and
whose support we shall need as badly in all prob-
ability next January as we needed votes at the
1939 Session.
In view of the many adverse proposals directed
at us during the last Legislature, including costly
tax measures, unreasonable wage and hour de
mands, along with many other propositions equallj
detrimental to pharmacy and the drug business,
and realizing the fact that each and every one
of these proposals was defeated because of friend-
ly legislators, nothing less than what has been
done would have begun to measure up to the
consideration to which they were entitled and
should reasonably have expected.
As citizens of North Carolina each and every
"one of us here is interested in its welfare. It is
our duty, therefore, to vote for and help elect
the very best men available to fill the offices under
whose direction the administration of the State
Government is maintained. We should be par-
ticularly interested in electing men of experience,
sanity and character as members of the General
Assembly, for it is this group that establishes the
rules of conduct not only for our everyday life
but, also, prescribes the rules that govern our
business as well.
In conclusion, it is my sincere hope that every
voter among us will go to the polls next Saturday
and cast his or her vote for the best available
men and of the caliber described for the respective
offices to be filled.
When a majority of such men have been elected
to the Legislature, neither retail druggists nor
any other group need be fearful of unfair, un-
just or discriminatory Legislation being placed
upon our Statute Books.

Chairman C. C. Fordham was called upon
for a report of the Delegations to both
the 1939 and 1940 conventions of the Ameri-

REPORT OF THE 1939 A. PH. A.
CONVENTION
Mr. President, and 'Members of the North Caro-
lina Pharmaceutical Association:
I have the honor to submit at this time the
report of the delegates to the 1939 convention of
the American Pharmaceutical Association, held in
Atlanta. August 20-26. Your delegation was
present one hundred per cent. The members
were: Messrs. A. C. Cecil, Joe Hollingsworth,
P. J. Suttlemyre, C. R. Whitehead, and C. C.
Fordham. North Carolina had a total of seven-
teen men at the convention.
Every phase of American Pharmacy was well
represented. The attendance at each meeting
and the interest in the work of the Association,
as well as its affiliated organizations, was very
impressive.
The A. Ph. A. began its program on Tuesday
evening. There was a constant succession of
meetings — morning, afternoon and evening — with
the exception of Wednesday evening when a joint
banquet was held. Several sections met at the
same time but their programs were so arranged
that one could attend the session of his choice.
President Lascoff's address opened the Tues-
day evening meeting and was one of the out-
standing features of the convention. He sub-
mitted seven recommendations. The more impor-
tant of these were: that a study be made of the
present possibilities of enacting constitutional
legislation which will restrict the ownership of
drug stores to registered pharmacists; that a
systematic effort be made to have pharmacy rep-
resented on state and local Boards of Health; and
that special consideration be given to ways and
means of bringing the medical and pharmaceuti-
cal professions into closer co-operation in dealing
with questions of mutual interest with particular
reference to the socialization of the medical pro-
fessions, and the greater use of official prepara-
tions.
Forceful addresses were made by Governor E.
D. Rivers, of Georgia, on "Public Health;" Chan-
cellor Sanford, of the University of Georgia on
"Pharmacy of Tomorrow," and by Herbert M.
Skinner, former President of the Pharmaceutical
Society of Great Britain and an Honorary Mem-
ber of the A. Ph. A. on "The Place of Pharmacy
in Health Insurance in England."
As approximately two hundred papers, reports,
etc., were considered during the convention, ob-
viously it is impossible to review them by title.
Outstanding papers were presented on Socializa-
tion of Health Services, Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Legislation, Modernization of Pharmacy Laws,
Hospital Pharmacy, and Professional Pharmacy.
It was disclosed that only 2.5 per cent of the
registered pharmacists of this country are mem-
bers of the A. Ph. A. This number is far too
low and I urge the pharmacists of this State to
144
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
become affiliated with the organization. Ofttimes
I believe the A. Ph. A. is looked upon as a high-
brow organization composed principally of pro-
fessional pharmacists, board members and college
professors. The Constitution of the A. Ph. A.
proves this to be false. It sets forth in simple
language that the object of the organization is to
unite the educated and reputable pharmacists of
this nation in doing those things that will accrue
to the highest good and greatest protection to the
public.
An important change was made in the publica-
tion of the Journal. The Journal is now edited
in two editions — the practical pharmacy and the
scientific editions; the latter is not only of great
interest but of vital value to every practicing
professional pharmacist and is obtainable by
every member of the A. Ph. A. who desires it.
The successful efforts of the A. Ph. A. in
maintaining professional parity of pharmacy with
the other health sciences deserves the loyalty of
pharmacists throughout the Nation. In North
Carolina let's show our appreciation by not only
joining the A. Ph. A. but by actively supporting
it,
Respectfully submitted,

Chairman.
REPORT OF THE 1940 A. PH. A.
CONVENTION
Chairman Fordham presented an informal
report of the 19-40 convention of the A.
Ph. A., held in Richmond, Va., a few days
previously on May 5-12. There had not
been sufficient time to prepare the usual
written report.
Upon the motion of Messrs. Eubanks-
Wolfe the reports of the delegates to the
A. Ph. A. conventions were accepted with
thanks.
Chairman J. A. Goode was called upon for
a report of the delegates to the N. A. R. D.
convention.
REPORT OF THE 1939 N. A. R. D.
CONVENTION
The 1939 annual convention of the National
Association of Retail Druggists was held in St.
Paul, Minnesota, October 9-13. The delegation
attending from this Association was composed of
Messrs. Suttlemyre, Eubanks, President Gattis
and myself.
By reason of the geographical location of the
convention city, the attendance was not as large
as that of the previous year, but the program was
extremely informative. The drug show was one
of the largest in the Association's history. The
attractive exhibits featured the latest in drug
store merchandise, and the newest wrinkles in |
the art of display.
Among the high-lights of the Convention was
an address by Congressman Wright Patman en- j
titled, "What the Local Druggist Can do to Help
Pass the Anti-Chain Store Bill." Congressman
Patman spoke to a capacity house, and his ad-
dress was broadcast over a nation-wide radio
hook-up.
Another speaker who held the complete atten-
tion of his audience for nearly two hours was
A. C. Nielsen, president of the company bearing
his name, and who specializes in developing sta-
tistics for the drug industry. Mr. Nielsen de-
veloped interesting and startling facts which were
of great interest to his listeners, and which
brought forth rounds of applause, as it was
shown that they bore out graphically the major
contentions of the retail druggists in their rela-
tion to manufacturers and wholesalers. Among
other impressive points made by the speaker was
that the average drug store volume is approxi-
mately $50 per day; the average sale per custo-
mer is approximately 25c; the average cost of
operation is approximately 30%. It costs ap-
proximately 7c to wait on the average drug store
customer.
Interesting and helpful answers were given to
such questions as: Why do some stores do a
bigger cigar business than others? Why do some
stores do a better soda business than others 1
Why do some stores do a bigger cosmetic business
than others ? Why do some stores do a bigger
prescription business than others? Where do the
people who live in your community buy their
drug store needs ? What do the people in your
community buy ? And. why don't you get your
share of the business ? These and many other
practical solutions were free to those who were
in attendance. Statistical information is on the
list of required reading by the real leaders in
business of today. By the use of the informa-
tion available one may easily become his own
business astrologer. By careful application of
the facts available to one's own business, he is in
position to foretell almost to the month the date
of his business demise. Or, on the other hand,
he can forecast the rate of his progress. Examine
this statement and see which way you, yourself
are going. It will be interesting and possibly
helpful, or it may be a lot of fun, even though
you are one of the average and, because you are
just the average, destined to do nothing about it
Following the address of Mr. Nielsen, the Hon-
orable John E. Miller, U. S. Senator from Arkan-
sas, one of the authors of the Miller-Tydings Act,
in a very pointed address upheld Fair Trade, and
scored various groups of governmental bureaus
who. in the Senator's opinion, were overstepping
reasonable bounds in their efforts to depreciate
Fair Trade legislation. The Senator pointed out
that these Bureau zealots were seemingly biased
in their findings in that they failed to mention
the amount of counterfeit merchandise eliminated
from the market through the effect of Fair Trade
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
145
laws, together with other unfair business prac-
tices, as a result of its operation in the public's
interest. Senator Miller's address was received
with resounding enthusiasm.
Thursday night proved to be the big night
of the Convention entertainment program. On
this evening the Twin Cities outdid themselves in
their effort to please the visitors from far and
near. The mammoth three-hour Ice Follies
proved to be one of the finest entertainments ever
presented at an N. A. R. D. Convention. With
plenty of local talent from which to draw and
augmented by national and international cham-
pions from far and near, including several Cana-
dian acts, the Ice Follies held the attention of the
Convention for more than three hours. To de-
scribe this colorful show on the huge square of
ice, marked in the center with the mammoth let-
ters, "N. A. R. D.," taxes one's adjectives. It
was an outstanding performance by stars of the
steel blades, flashing about the huge arena in
colorful costumes, with marvelous colorful effects,
to music by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
The program varied from the humorous to the
spectacular with such a brilliant parade of vari-
ous types of ice demonstrations as to beggar
description.
All and all, the entertainment program was
most extraordinary, and was somewhat in the
nature of a general compliment to Secretary Dar-
gavel, who is a native of Minnesota, and to whom
a great deal of credit is due for the highly suc-
cessful business program of the Convention.
One cannot attend an N. A. R. D. convention
without observing that the independent retail
druggist is now beginning to realize that he needs
to be informed of the conditions and problems
which affect his business and profession; that he
needs to be inspired for the task that lies before
him, and that he needs to draw on the experience
of his fellow. Today, the independent retail drug-
gist cannot hope to succeed through his own
efforts alone. Whether we like it or not, the days
of rugged individualism are in the past. Co-
operation and co-ordination are the magic words
that open the doors of the future. The inde-
pendent retail druggists' sole agencies for their
attainment are in their own state and national
organizations. Utopia will come to this organi-
zation only when it realizes it has something to
sell and sets about to develop a practical plan
of merchandising it. As a first step, we must
proceed in the direction of the education of our
membership with respect to aims and purposes.
In short, we must work out a plan, the final
effect of which will be to cause a substantial ma-
jority of the proprietors of the drug stores to be
in attendance in person at our state and national
associations. Each of us should constitute our-
selves a committee of one for the coming year, to
bring some proprietor of a drug store, who has
not been attending the meetings in recent years,
to our next, convention. And, if successful in
gaining his attendance, continue our efforts to in-
terest him in organized pharmacy in a national
sense. It is the only practical way to interest
and inform our associates of the objectives of
organized pharmacy.
In conclusion, I further recommend continued
affiliation of this Association with the N. A. R. D.,
and that we actively support its program for the
betterment of the condition of the independent
retail druggist.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) J. A. GOODE,
Chairman.
Upon motion of Messrs. Eubanks-Mc-
Duffie the report of the delegates to the
N. A. R. D. convention was accepted with
thanks.
Attention was called to the fact that Mr.
Goode had recommended continued affilia-
tion of the Association with the N. A. R. D.
Upon motion of Messrs. Rimmer-Eubanks
the delegates voted to continue such mem-
bership.
Chairman C. C. Fordham was called upon
for a report of the Delegates to the U. S.
Pharmaeopoeial Convention.
REPORT OP THE DELEGATES TO THE
U. S. P. CONVENTION
Chairman Fordham presented an informal
report of the U. S. P. Convention held ir
Washington, D. C, on May 14-15. All three
delegates from the N. C. P. A. were in
attendance, namely, Messrs. Fordham, Joe
Hollingsworth, and Carl T. Durham. The
high lights of the convention were taken up
and particular mention was made of the
fact that Prof. M. L. Jacobs, of the State
University, was made a member of the U.
S. P. XII Committee of Revision. A writ-
ten report for the Proceedings was promised.
This has not been received.
Upon the motion of Messrs. Rogers-Cope-
land the report of the delegates to the U. S.
Pharmaeopoeial Convention was accepted
with thanks.
Mr. E. F. Rirnrner was called upon to
introduce the guest speaker of the morning.
In a few well-chosen words Mr. Rirnrner
presented to the audience Mr. B. R. Mull,
Manager, Trade Advertising, Eli Lilly and
Co.
Mr. Mull chose as his subject, "Inter-
Professional Relations."

FAIR TRADE SESSION
Chairman Fordham presented an informal
report of the activities of his Committee
during the past year. He took occasion to
praise Mr. Bowman for his accomplishments
as Executive Secretary for the Fair Trade
group. He impressed upon his audience the
importance of co-operating with manufac-
turers who observe fair trade and of in-
sisting that all manufacturers operate ac-
cording to these practices. This would
result not in a raise in prices but in a
stabilization of them.
Chairman Fordham then called on repre-
sentatives of manufacturing houses who
operate under Fair Trade to present the
views of such concerns. This proved to be
an informative and interesting feature of
the session.
Mr. Bowman was next called upon to pre-
sent his report as Executive Secretarv of the
Fair Trade Committee.
REPORT OF EXECUTIVE SECRETARY
F. 0. BOWMAN
Mr. President and Members of the North Caro-
lina Pharmaceutical Association:
As Executive Secretary of the Fair Trade Com-
mittee of the Association, I am making this brief
report, which covers only some of the activities
of your Committee and the work done through
my office in the promotion of Fair Trade since
our last Annual Convention, together with a finan-
cial statement of the fiscal affairs of the Com-
mittee. I shall not enter into a discussion of the
Fair Trade Movement either in a general way
or otherwise, inasmuch as we have been able
to get one of our good friends from a neighbor-
ing state to come over and address the Conven-
tion on this subject at this session.
At the outset, it may be stated that the poli-
cies adopted by the original Committee when
Fair Trade was first inaugurated in this State
remain unchanged. From the very beginning
we have endeavored at all times to co-operate to
the fullest with all Fair Trade manufacturers,,
and likewise have expended our best efforts in
trying to get other manufacturers to come under
our Fair Trade Law.
Needless to say, carrying on Fair Trade and
its promotion has entailed much work, involving
the writing of hundreds of individual letters,
preparing and getting out form letters, handling
Fair Trade price books, keeping records of all
contract transactions, handling contracts for
manufacturers coming under the law, and fur-
nishing from time to time both new and revised
price sheets of manufacturers. In addition,
every violation of minimum prices that has come
to our attention has been reported immediately
to the manufacturer. Generally speaking, the
manufacturers have endeavored to maintain their
minimum resale prices. In most instances of re-
ported violations immediate steps have been taken
by them to correct the price irregularities.
During this fiscal year 36 additional manufac-
turers have qualified under our Fair Trade Law.
At the beginning of the year there were 229.
Today, we have 265 manufacturers actually oper-
ating under the North Carolina Fair Trade Act.
No longer do we have need to worry as to
whether or not our Fair Trade Act will stand
the test of the Courts. The Supreme Court of
North Carolina, you will recall, early last Fall
in a six-to-one decision upheld its constitutionality
in every particular. This decision reversed a
ruling by one of our superior court judges who
had declared the law unconstitutional in a suit
brought by Eli Lilly & Company to restrain
Saunders Drug Store, of Wilmington, North Caro-
lina, from selling its products below established
minimum prices.
In a most scholarly opinion written by Justice
Seawell, the Court went much further in detail
on the matter of the economic side than have
decisions of other courts thus far. This particu-
lar decision has been hailed as the most thorough
and logical coming from any court dealing with
Fair Trade and absolutely correct in its inter-
pretation.
Coming now to the question of financing Fair
Trade work, your Committee has had to depend
upon voluntary contributions from retail drug-
gists and from fees paid by manufacturers for
services rendered. During the year urgent ap-
peals have been made by letter, as well as by
personal solicitation by members of our Com-
mittee and others who were sufficiently interested
to co-operate with us in this way. Of the 850
drug stores in the State, only 130 have made
contributions, ranging in amounts from $1.00
to $25.00. Only one retail store donated as
much as $25.00. We received a $50.00 contri-
bution from one of our wholesalers.
But with the small amount of support received,
your Committee has functioned, nevertheless, and
has gone forward with its work the very best
it could under the circumstances.
I am furnishing herewith a statement of cash
receipts and disbursements of the Fair Trade

enforcement? Xo other law has ever at-
tained this goal. Small town merchants
claim they do have cut price competition,
but they forget they are in easy reach of
metropolitan centers and city newspapers
carry many cut price advertisements. Fair
trade will never make a successful merchant
out of one that is unsuccessful. No man
can legally legislate business into his store.
' ' So may I plead with you, the North Caro-
lina Pharmacists, to give Fair Trade an op-
portunity by putting more strenuous efforts
behind its enforcement and more finances
into the organization representing your
Fair Trade activities. ' '
President Gattis thanked Mr. Sliarpe for
his informative address.
Mr. Welfare felt that all the members
should be given an opportunity at that time
to contribute to Fair Trade. There was some
discussion of the matter of finances for
Fair Trade and the Secretary gladly ac-
cepted the contributions or pledges made
by members.
At this point President Gattis resumed
the chair.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
FOURTH SESSION
The fourth session was called to order by
President Gattis at two-thirty Wednesday
afternoon.
President Gattis read a telegram of greet-
ing from Dean J. G. Beard.
Upon the motion of Messrs. Hancock-Link
a telegram was sent to Mr. Beard express-
ing regret that he could not be present.
At this point the recommendation of the
Executive Committee was brought up to
change the fiscal year of the Association
to coincide with the calendar year. There
was some discussion of this change but when
the vote was taken an affirmative ballot was
cast. The fiscal year will extend hereafter
from Jan. 1st to Dec. 31st.
Upon the request of President Gattis,
Secretary Bose presented to the audience
Dr. Hubert Haywood, of Ealeigh, President
of the North Carolina Medical Society.
Dr. Haywood chose "Professional Eela-
tions ' ' as his subject.
PEOFESSIONAL EELATIONS
By Hubert Haywood, M.D.
It is not a far cry from the time when the I
physician did his own dispensing of drugs. In I
my own day many physicians were the owners I
of drug stores. This day has now passed and li
there is a division of labor. To the physician is 1
allotted the task of prescribing drugs, and to U
the pharmacist the task of dispensing drugs. This I
gives more leisure to both and a better opportunity
for scientific study and improvement in the arts
of their professions. The machine age is render-
tag the burdens of both less complex.
The relationship between the pharmacist and 5
the physician is a close one and is one of mutual
interdependence. Whatever concerns the fortune
or misfortune of one concerns the other.
A hopeful, sanguine and optimistic spirit now
pervades the medical profession in regard to the
use of drugs. The age of defeatism as to the
therapeutic efficacy of drugs, and the feeling that '
the patient will or will not get well, with or in !
spite of the aid of drugs is fast passing. Some
two or three decades ago this spirit was quite
prevalent in the ranks of the medical profession
and necessarily was reflected into the lives and
thoughts of the pharmacists. Now, we know that
we have certain potent and specific drugs and
have a therapeutic approach to diseases which
were once regarded as incurable. We have new
Chemo-therapeutic agents such as the sulfanila-
mide group and its derivatives, carbarsone in
amoebic dysentery, prostigmine, arsenicals and
heavy metals in syphilis, new and effective hyp-
notics and analgesics, various new hormones,
pituitary extracts, liver extracts, vitamins and
specific serums which are bringing us close to
idealism in our attack on the forces of disease.
It is within the realms of a possible reality,
that while new diseases may not be discovered,
new and specific remedies may be developed far
better than those we have. This newly acquired
knowledge places an increased responsibility on
the physician and pharmacist because all thera-
peutic agents not only can do good, but also can
be harmful. To attach a medical label to a
disease, and for a pharmacist or physician to
treat it on this basis is a dangerous procedure.
The etiological factors and a daily observation
of the patient are the essential factors to a cor-
rect interpretation of symptoms and a diagnosis
of the disease, with the proper application of cor-
rect remedies.
Treatment should be by a physician only and
consist in the application of physical, chemical
and other directed treatments. The physician
and the pharmacist should work with the patient's
interest as the end in view. The possibility of
missing the diagnosis of incipient pulmonary
tuberculosis or to find the evidences of organic
disease as the basis of a case of psychoneurosis is
a common error. Therefore, a correct diagnosis
is a necessity before correct treatment can be in-
stituted. Treatment is rapidly becoming a field
of Biologic Engineering and must be individual

i fit each case. Rapid shifts in the therapeutic
eld are often necessary. Only one trained in
eatment should attempt this human engineering,
nd supervision of treatment should be close.
Pharmacopoeia and National Formulary — few
hysicians know the range and compass of these
ooks. Every physician can select from them the
w formulas he may need that will be as elegant
nd as pleasant as proprietary preparations, and
rill, moreover, be guaranteed doses of the vari-
us ingredients of the formulas selected.
Useful Drugs — The Book of Useful Drugs of
; American Medical Association describes the
ction and use of drugs selected for their positive
herapeutic action. It is prepared under the
lirection of the Council of Pharmacy and Chemis-
ry of the American Medical Association. It is
ntended to meet the demand for a less extensive
Materia Medica. It evaluates the most valuable
reparations from the vast number included in
he Pharmacopoeia and New and Non-official
temedies.
New and Non-official Remedies: The physician
hould be ever ready to make use of a valuable
liscovery, but should never further fraud. A
lew drug should be ordered straight or used only
n prescribed combinations. Correct prescription
vriting is a close corollary to good therapeutics.
Therapeutics is the ultimate aim of the science
md practice of medicine. It includes not only
Irug therapy, to which its definition is so often
erroneously limited, but also everything that has
o do with the treatment of disease, the manage-
ment of the patient, his convalescence, his return
;o health, and the protection of the well against
iisease.
While simplicity in prescribing is advisable, the
art of combining drugs or of rendering a drug
less disagreeable should be studied and practiced
until efficiency is secured. It is not justifiable for
a physician to prescribe secret or irrational pro-
prietary remedies. The possibilities of harm to
the patient are too great.
We assume very properly that the physician can
help the pharmacist.
1. By correct prescription writing — the art of
prescription writing should be improved.
2. By prescribing remedies and combinations of
remedies approved of and included in the Pharma-
copoeia and which are in the National Formulary.
3. By a proper evaluation of the new remedies
brought to his attention.
4. By not prescribing remedies which have
been overenthusiastically described to him by a
detail man, who may be perfectly honest in his
own convictions, but who has unwittingly misled
the doctor into prescribing a remedy which may
have no therapeutic value, or may be harmful.
Overstocking the pharmacist's shelves with drugs
and combinations which he may not be called
upon to use may be avoided thus.
5. By not overprescribing remedies for patients
who are unable to meet the cost of many of the
new remedies whose cost is high. This naturally
brings on some feeling on the patient's part that
he is being overcharged by the druggist.
The pharmacist can help remedy this situation
by informing the physician in regard to the
newer potent and standard remedies which he
carries in his stock, or which may be available.
Reprints from the Journal of the A. M. A. at
low cost for distribution regarding the newer
remedies and their application to old and newly
described diseases are available. There are very
few doctors who would not appreciate this point
of contact and help from the pharmacist who fills
his prescriptions.
The Wagner Act, which would do a great deal
to socialize the practice of medicine and affect
the practice of pharmacy, has been shelved dur-
ing this present emergency.
The pharmacist as well as the physician has
given his aid and co-operation in the programs
for the aid of the underprivileged and the indi-
gent. It is my understanding that some forty
remedies of various sorts are now distributed by
the government which were formerly distributed
by the pharmacists. The socialization of medi-
cine, while it might increase the number of pre-
scriptions written and lead to an increase in the
number of pharmacists employed in hospitals and
dispensaries, would in all probability be so regu-
lated by government authorities that the profits
and salaries would be much less than the present
fee scales. This has been the experience of coun-
tries where it has been tried. Regulations would
enforce the type and cost of the remedies pre-
scribed. We should be on the alert to guard our
interests and inalienable rights of the free choice
of pharmacies and physicians by the patient no
matter what scheme is eventually put into our
social and economic structure by a paternalistic
government.
I have thus tried to show you that we are one
in spirit concerning the patient's welfare, that
our interests are mutual and interdependent. That
a division of labor is good for both the pharma-
cist and the physician. That a diagnostic label
does not always imply that a therapeutic specific
is available. That treatment belongs to the phy-
sician who is caring for and watching the case.
That the physician can help the pharmacist by
sticking to standard and reputable remedies. That
both the physicians and the pharmacists are al-
ready taking a large part of the responsibility
for the needy and for aiding various government
agencies.
President Gattis expressed the apprecia-
tion of the convention to Dr. Haywood for
his interesting and informative address.
At this point the meeting was turned over
to Chairman I. T. Eeamer of the Section
on Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing.
PRACTICAL PHARMACY AND
DISPENSING
Chairman Reamer called on Dr. Ealph W.
Clark, Director of the Pharmacy Service
150
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Department, Merck and Co., to discuss
"Trends in Pharmacy."
TRENDS IN PHARMACY
By Ralph W. Clark
This paper was presented in full in the
September issue of the Carolina Journal
of Pharmacy.
The second paper was read by Mr.
Hunter L. Kelly, of Apex, who chose as his
subject, "Newly Accepted Drugs in Supple-
ment II."
NEWLY ACCEPTED DRUGS IN
SUPPLEMENT II
By Hunter L. Kelly
The speaker took up in detail the list of
thirteen new drugs which are included by
the U. S. P. XI Committee of Revision in
the "Second U. S. P. XI Supplement,"
and which became official Jan. 1st of this
year. He also emphasized the obligation
of every pharmacist to familiarize himself
with these preparations.
Chairman Reamer presented to the au-
dience Mr. John L. Howerton, of Greens-
boro, who spoke on "Forty Years at the
Prescription Counter. ' '
FORTY YEARS AT THE PRESCRIP-
TION COUNTER
By John L. Howerton
The experiences of the speaker through
the years were recounted and the many
changes that have taken place in the pro-
fession were dwelt upon.
The next paper was presented by Mr.
Sam McFalls, of Greensboro, who discussed,
"Detailing by the Pharmacist— An Essen-
tial for Future Dispensing."
DETAILING BY THE PHARMACIST—
AN ESSENTIAL FOR FUTURE
DISPENSING
By Sam W. MoFalls
The speaker considers detailing the prime
factor of successful dispensing, not only for
pharmacy as it is today, but for the phar-
macy of the future. During recent years
there has been a noticeable change toward
professionalism and this has been sponsored
notably, as well as nobly, by the larger
manufacturing houses. Some pharmach
still complain that their particular town
not large enough for a professional sto:
Too many pharmacists assume the defeat
attitude toward decreased prescript!
volume, but do not try "to find and reme<
the flaw." If there are decreased sales
other departments, however, the pharnr
cist will immediately seek to remedy t
situation. The only man to help the pha
macist build a larger prescription practi
is the physician. Despite the obvious val>
of the physicians' good will the majority J
pharmacists fail to call on physicians. Tl
most effective method for advancing "oi
profession" is to commence group detailiri
through a co-operative or wholesale poii
of view. This can be accomplished by sd
ting up a council of pharmaceutical mer
bers who in turn can supply pharmacis
with printed material of seasonal prepan
tions endorsed or accepted by the A.M.J
Individual detailing also has advantage
and the following points should be co«
sidered: (1) Know your preparation; (2
Discuss the satisfaction of the medicatio!
and not the price of it; (3) Discuss the coil
tents of the product and not the therapeut:'i
effect; (4) Spend at least four hours a weej
in detailing; (5) Try to arrange your ea\'\
during slack hours.
Chairman Reamer stated that he woulj
have to postpone the remainder of his pre
gram until the next morning as Mr. W. J
Smith, who was to contribute a paper, ha:l
been unavoidably detained and could noj
be present at that session.
In the temporary absence of Presiden
Gattis, Vice-President Hollingsworth wa
called to the chair.
Vice-President Hollingsworth announced
that at the following session the By-Lawl
addition would be brought up which had
been offered at the last session of the 193iJ
convention by Mr. J. C. Brantley, Jr. Tin
Secretary was asked to read the new secJ
tion so that members could be thinking abou
the amendment between then and the nex
morning.
Thereupon Secretary Rose read the pro[l
posed section which appears on page 15:
of the Proceedings.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.

FIFTH SESSION
I The fifth session was called to order by
[resident Gattis at ten o 'clock on Thurs-
fay morning, May 23.
I The first order of business was the By-
laws amendment introduced by Mr. Brant-
y.
|| President Gattis read the following pro-
posal for a new section to Article 1 of the
ly-Laws to be known as Sec. 5:
Section 5. The North Carolina Pharmaceutical
•ssociation shall, at each annual meeting, elect
lom among the most skillful pharmacists in
jorth Carolina, who are not teachers or instruc-
rs teaching pharmacy in any educational insti-
tion, for a term of five years, one pharmacist to
e State Board of Pharmacy. The same must
*ive been registered as a pharmacist in North
jarolina at least five years previous to his elec-
|on and he must be actually engaged in conduct-
ig a pharmacy and shall not hold office for more
ftan one five-vear period.
I Mr. Brantley moved the adoption of the
bction and his motion was seconded by Mr.
Suttlemyre.
i There was considerable discussion of the
aatter. which was participated in by Messrs.
fJeamer, Eubanks, Rose, A. B. Kunkle, W.
I Moose, J. C. Hood, P. J. Suttlemyre, D.
I Boone, H. C. McAllister, and Paul Thomp-
on. There was a feeling that the new sec-
ion possessed merit, but that it should be
!e-worded. Finally, upon the motion of
Messrs. Boone-J. T. Usher, the President
/as instructed to appoint a committee to
e-phrase the amendment and bring the
aatter up again at the afternoon session.
President Gattis appointed the following
ommittee to re-word the proposed new sec-
ion to the By-Laws: Messrs. J. C. Brant -
ey, Chairman, Paul H. Thompson, R. R.
Copeland, W. L. Moose, and J. C. Hood.
At this point the meeting was turned over
o Chairman I. T. Reamer of the Section on
Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing in order

This concluded the program of the Sec-
tion on Practical Pharmacy and Dispensing
and Chairman Reamer was given the sincere
appreciation of the convention for his in-
teresting and helpful program.
The Report of the Visitation Committee
was called for and was read by Chairman
Paul B. Bissette.
REPORT OF THE U. N. C. VISITATION
COMMITTEE
Your Committee, with all members present,
visited the State University School of Pharmacy
on May 23. After a most interesting conference
with members of the faculty, we spent an hour
interviewing the senior class.
We were the guests of the faculty at a luncheon
in the new dining hall and were later taken on
a tour of Chapel Hill by Acting Dean Rose.
The afternoon was devoted to an inspection of
the laboratories, classrooms, storage rooms,
library, etc.
"We wish to offer the following recommenda-
tions :
1. 75% of all the students who enter the
School of Pharmacy have had no drug store
experience yet more than 90% of its graduates
go to work in retail drug stores. (These statis-
tics were furnished your Committee by Dean
Rose). "We, therefore, recommend that consid-
erably more time be given to instruction in prac-
tical drug store operation.
2. Prescription counters in the Pharmacy lab-
oratory should be equipped with individual tele-
phones so that students may acquire practice in
taking prescriptions by telephone.
3. Facilities should be provided for supplying
hot water to all laboratories.
4. The library should be furnished with new
books and an additional supply of the most-used
volumes now in the library.
5. A proper ventilating system should be pro-
vided in all laboratories for the removal of poi-
sonous fumes and gases. We understand that these
laboratories are the only ones in the University
that are not so equipped. We believe this condi-
tion to be a hazard to life and health and one
that should be corrected immediately.
6. A central stock-room for all supplies should
be installed with a competent full-time person in
charge.

7. We believe that the School of Pharmacy is
manned by a faculty that is outstanding in mod-
ern-day pharmaceutical education.

REPORT OP THE LEGISLATIVE
COMMITTEE
Chairman Thompson presented an infor:
mal report stating that inasmuch as the Gem
eral Assembly had not met during the pas
twelve months the Committee had had very
little to do. The members had, however
kept in touch with trends in pharmacy both
in the State and in the Nation. He paie
particular tribute to Congressman Carl T
Durham, pharmacist representative in tin
National Congress. In conclusion, he men
tioned the primaries to be held within a few
days and urged his listeners to "support the]
men best fitted for office."
Mr. C. L. Eubanks was called upon td

CONGRESSMAN DURHAM'S ADDRESS
Congressman Durham expressed his appre-
ciation of the warm tribute that had been
paid to him stating "that I have and always
iiwill have the warmest spot in my heart for
lithe druggists of North Carolina." Con-
tinuing, he regretted that he had not had
■the opportunity to prepare a formal address
has the situation in Washington had de-
manded a large part of his time during the
preceding ten days and he had also been
: ' ' busy in North Carolina ' ' as the primaries
were just a few days away and he was seek-
ing re-election to Congress. He then gave
[a resume of the national situation as it
appeared to him at that time and of the
World War conflict. In conclusion, he em-
phasized the fact that he was putting forth
every effort "twenty-four hours a day" to
help his fellow-druggists in the Halls of
Congress.
Congressman Durham was wrarmly thanked
for his timely remarks.
President Gattis presented to the conven-
tion Mr. Carl Goerch, of Raleigh, humorist
land editor of "The State."
Mr. Goerch entertained the audience in
his usual happy fashion for about fifteen
minutes. He told several amusing stories
and in conclusion assured his listeners that
:he was always anxious to be of help to the
pharmacists of North Carolina in every way
; possible.
Upon motion the meeting adjourned.
SIXTH SESSION
The sixth and final session of the conven-
tion was called to order by President Gattis

Springs; H. M. Gaddy, of Charlotte; S. B.
Boyd, of High Point; G. W. Honeycutt, of
Raleigh; J. B. Hunter, of Charlotte; M. M.
Edmunds, of Charlotte; and L. L. Holland,
of Charlotte (Associate).
These applications for membership were
duly accepted.
President Gattis called on Chairman
Brantley for a report of the Committee
appointed at the morning session to re-word
the suggested addition to the By-Laws.
(See page 151).
Chairman Brantley stated that his com-
mittee offered the following as a substitute
for the section he had originally proposed
as Sec. 5 of Article 1 of the By-Laws:
Section 5. The North Carolina Pharmaceutical
Association shall elect at each annual meeting
from among the most skillful pharmacists in
North Carolina, for a term of five years, one
pharmacist to the State Board of Pharmacy. The
same must have been registered as a pharmacist
in North Carolina at least five years previous to
his election ; he must be actually engaged in phar-
macy ; and he shall not succeed himself ; Provided
that this does not prohibit the re-election of any
member of the present Board for one additional
term.
Upon motion the new section was adopted,
the ballot being taken by a rising vote.
The Report of the Committee on Time
and Place of Next Meeting was called for.
Chairman Eubanks stated that his Com-
mittee recommended Durham as the meeting
place for 1941, the time to be left to the
Executive Committee.
Upon the motion of Messrs. Copeland-
Thomas the report was accepted.
At this point Assistant Secretary C. M.
Andrews reported that during the meeting
$520.00 in dues had been collected from old
members and $40.00 from new affiliates.
The registration figures were as follows:

guests, 348.
The report was accepted with thanks.
The Report of the Resolutions Committee
was called for.
Chairman McDufne moved the adoption of
the following resolution presented by Mr.
J. A. Goode :
APPRECIATION TO THE FAIR TRADE
COMMITTEE
WHEREAS, the Fair Trade Committee of the
N. C. P. A. has functioned efficiently and in the
interest of every retail druggist in the state, and
although its activities have been cramped, due
to the lack of funds, the net results have been
most gratifying, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED by the N. C. P. A. that
it hereby approves the work of the Fair Trade
Committee, expresses its appreciation of that
work, and urges all members of this Association
to support fair trade in this State, not only in
spirit, but also financially, when called upon to
contribute.
154
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the grate-
ful appreciation of this Association be extended
to F. O. Bowman, who served as Secretary of
the Fair Trade Committee without remuneration.
The resolution was duly adopted.
Chairman MeDuffie moved the adoption
of the following resolution:
NATIONALLY ADVERTISED BEANDS
WEEK
WHEREAS, Nationally Advertised Brands
Week has identified the retail drug store in the
public mind as the logical place at which to
purchase drugs, medicines, cosmetics, and related
supplies; and
WHEREAS, Nationally Advertised Brands
Week has amply demonstrated that it not only
substantially increases drug store volume in these
commodities, but brings additional business to
other departments of the drug store as well; and
WHEREAS, Nationally Advertised Brands
Week has aroused the retail druggists of the coun-
try to the advantages of adopting modern mer-
chandising methods, therefore
BE IT RESOLVED by the North Carolina
Pharmaceutical Association that it hereby en-
dorses and approves Nationally Advertised Brands
Week and urges all retail druggists in the State
to co-operate actively in making the 1940 ob-
servance of Nationally Advertised Brands Week
a success, so that they may receive the fullest
benefits and profits from this national mass sell-
ing merchandising event.
The resolution was duly adopted.
Chairman MeDuffie read the following res-
olution presented by W. J. Smith:
INDISCRIMINATE SALE AND DIS-
TRIBUTION OF APPLIANCES
WHEREAS, the indiscriminate sale and dis-
tribution of appliances, drugs and medicinal prep-
arations intended or having special utility for the
prevention of venereal diseases constitute a men-
ace to public health, and
WHEREAS, fourteen states have enacted legis-
lation limiting the sale of the above mentioned ap-
pliances and preparations to pharmacists or to
drug stores employing one or more registered
pharmacists, and,
WHEREAS, the Supreme Court of the United
States has upheld the validity of the above legis-
lation, and
WHEREAS, the enactment of contraceptive
legislation in Xorth Carolina will aid and support
the anti-venereal program now being carried on
by the North Carolina Board of Health, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the members of the
North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association go on
record as favoring the enactment of legislation
which will limit the sale of appliances, drugs
and medicinal preparations intended or having
special utility for the prevention of venereal dis-
eases to retail drug stores operated by or em-
ploying one or more registered pharmacists.
The Chairman stated that his group felt
that this resolution should be referred to J
the Legislative Committee and then made a I
motion to such effect. It was duly seconded
by Mr. Suttlyemyre and passed.
Chairman MeDuffie read the following res-
olution, presented by Mr. Chas. D. Me-
Falls, a member of the graduating class atj
the State University:
TRIBUTE TO DEAN BEARD FROM
THE STUDENT BRANCH
WHEREAS, Dean J. G. Beard has been active
as the Secretary-Treasurer of the N. C. P. A. for
the past twenty-seven years, and has been a
familiar figure at the sessions and social func-t
tions of the Student Branch of this Association,
and,
WHEREAS, the success and progress of the
Students' organization has been due largely to
his assistance, and,
WHEREAS, his absence is greatly felt by the
members of this Branch that are present in Char-
lotte, therefore,
BE IT RESOLVED, that the N. C. P. A. ex-
press the feelings of its student members — feel-
ings of regret, due to the absence of one who
cannot be replaced, and,
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this reso-
lution be spread upon the minutes, and that a
copy be forwarded to Mr. Beard.
The Chairman said that he felt that the]
entire audience could imagine the thrill that
this resolution from the University students

APPRECIATION TO CONVENTION
HOSTS
I hereby move that a rising vote of thanks be
extended to the druggists of Charlotte, to the City
of Charlotte, and to all individuals and organiza-
tions who have co-operated in making the 1940
convention of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical
Association one of the most successful and de-
lightful in the history of our organization.
The resolution was adopted amid much
applause.
Chairman McDuffie stated that a resolu-
tion had been handed to his Committee
calling upon the druggists to co-operate with
the physicians and the public health officers
in the common fight against venereal disease.
The Resolution Committee did not act upon
this resolution as the convention had previ-
ously gone on record as pledging its support
to this movement.
Upon motion of Chairman McDuffie, sec-
onded by Mr. Haupt, the report of the Reso-
lutions Committee was adopted as a whole.

nation Mr. C. R. Whitehead, and Mr. M. B.
Melvin was named for the office by Messrs.
W. L. Moose-McAllister. A ballot was taken
and Mr. Melvin was elected.
Mr. R. P. Lyon suggested that each year
the Local Secretary shall be instructed to
keep a portfolio of convention matters
which he will turn over to the succeeding
official in charge of local arrangements.
Upon the motion of Messrs. Rogers-Cope-
land, Mr. Lyon's suggestion was adopted.
At this point Mr. Lyon presented to the
audience Mr. T. C. Yearwood.
Mr. Yearwood declared that there was
an imperative need for registered druggists
in several Charlotte drug stores, and he felt
that similar conditions prevailed elsewhere.
"What are we going to do to overcome this
situation? Such a state of affairs is ab-
solutely our fault. ' ' The speaker then re-
called his boyhood days in the drug store
when he had worked hard from early morn-
ing until late at night with a small salary
in a determination to prepare himself for
his chosen profession. He told too of how
his employer had paid part of his college
expenses. Continuing he said: "We in the
Charlotte Drug Club will in the next year
contact suitable boys of high-school age
and get them jobs in drug stores. We will
follow the careers of these boys closely and
will aid them financially in going through
college. That is one way that our organiza-
tion can bring new blood into the profession
and aid in the development of a larger
number of, as well as better pharmacists. I
would like to see the other drug clubs co-
operate with each other in trying to get
such young men interested in pharmacy and
to train them to make better pharmacists so
that they will be a credit both to them-
selves and to their profession.
President Gattis expressed appreciation to
Acting Secretary Rose and Miss Noble for
their services.
At this point the following officers were
installed to serve for the year 1940-1941 :
President : Joe Hollingsworth, Mount
Airy.

Durham.

There being no further business the con
vention adjourned sine die.

Acting Secretary-Treasurer.

Inspection Work
Mr. H. C. McAllister, one of our Inspec-
tors, has been on duty doing inspection work
the entire year. Mr. W. J. Smith, the other
Assistant Inspector, was on duty, doing in-
spection work about one half of the year
and doing part-time work a part of the
other half of the year. I wish to call your
attention to their reports which follow. In
these you will find that both of them have
secured evidence in two of the most impor-
tant cases now pending in Asheville and
"Washington, North Carolina, courts, Mr.
McAllister in the Washington and Belhaven
case, and Mr. Smith in the Goforth case at
Asheville. We have employed good lawyers
in both cases and hope to win them.
We expect to employ two Assistant In-
spectors for the entire time the coming
year.
report or h. c. McAllister
Assistant Inspector
Chapel Hill, N. C.,
504B North Street,
May 1, 1940.
To the Members of
The North Carolina Board of Pharmacy:
I have the honor to submit herewith my
report of inspection work from May 1, 1939,
to May 1, 1940.
I have made detailed inspections of 868
establishments in 222 towns. These inspec-
tions covered the following types of busi-
nesses:
Retail Drug Stores 839
Soda Shops 4
Hospitals 7
Grocery Stores 3
Doctor's Offices 1°
Remedy Company 1
Wholesale Drug Store 1
Drug Laboratory 1
I have brought the following indictments,
three in number:
C. B. Newman, Jr., Milton, N. C. Charges —
operating a drug store and compounding pre-
scriptions in violation of Sects. 6667, 6668, 6669
and 6670. The said C. B. Newman not being a
registered pharmacist. Second offense. The de-
fendant pleaded guilty. On motion of the Solici-
tor, prayer for judgment is continued on the
following terms and conditions :
1. That the defendant pay the cost of the ac-
tion to be taxed by the clerk.
2. That the defendant surrender to the Sheriff
of Caswell County all of the drugs and med-
icines that he has in his possession in viola-
tion of the Pharmacy Law.
3. That the defendant execute a good and valid
bond in the sum of three hundred dollars,
payable to the State of North Carolina con-
ditioned on the defendant's not selling or
handling any drugs in violation of the Phar-
macy Laws.
Second case : H. C. Suddreth, Kinston, N. C.
Charges, causing or permitting a drug store or
pharmacy to be operated not under the supervi-
sion of a registered pharmacist for the compound-
ing of physicians' prescriptions and selling drugs
and poisons in violation of the law. The case was
nol prossed with leave upon the condition that
the violation be corrected.
Third case: W. N. Wilkins, Kinston, N. C.
Charges — compounding and dispensing drugs and
poisons, not being a registered pharmacist. Case
was nol prossed upon the condition that the vio-
lations be corrected.
Several cases of flagrant violations of the
law have required much attention during
the past year. The unusual nature of these
cases has necessitated a cautious procedure.
However, I am pleased to report that they
have proceeded to the hands of an attorney
with instructions to use the legal means best
suited for their correction.
This year more informal calls were made
for the purpose of instructing the pharma-
cists in so far as the available information
permitted concerning the requirements of
the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. This is
a very stringent piece of regulatory legisla-
tion. It is urgent that the pharmacists give
it their serious attention, and voice their ap-
proval or objection to regulations promul-
gated under the Act when the hearings on
the same are held.
I have placed 12 Poison, Hypnotic and
Exempt Narcotic Preparations Registers.
With the passage of the above Act, a large
number of pharmacists discontinued the sale
of Barbituric Acid preparations except on
physicians' prescriptions. This practice elim-
inated the use of part of the book.
As has been the practice of the inspectors
for the past few years, some of my time
has been spent in the interest of the North
Carolina Pharmaceutical Association. I
have collected $896.50 in dues and secured
21 new members.
Respectfully submitted,
H. C. MCALLISTER.

EEPORT OF WILLIAM JULIUS SMITH
Assistant Inspector for the
North Carolina Board of Pharmacy
1220 14th Street,
Hickory, N. C,
September 1, 1940.
To the Members of
The North Carolina Board of Pharmacy:
I have the honor to submit herewith my
report of inspection work from May 1, 1939,
to September 1, 1939.
During this four-month period I visited
488 retail stores located in 128 Western
North Carolina towns. In each instance the
Poison and Hypnotic Eegisters were cheeked,
licenses examined, and information given as
to compliance with the Harrison Narcotic
Act, the Wage and Hour Bill, etc.
A considerable portion of my time was
given to the inspection of grocery stores,
5c and 10c stores, cafes, etc., wherein large
stocks of drugs were found in numerous in-
stances. Non-permitted drugs were removed
from the shelves and arrangements made
for legal disposal of the goods. In the ma-
jority of instances I found the proprietor in
ignorance of our Pharmacy Laws relating
to the sale of poisons and hypnotics but
glad to co-operate once their intent was
explained.
The Board of Pharmacy kindly allowed
me to carry the Pharmaceutical Association
program to the druggists of Western North
Carolina. This was a pleasure as I found
many of our pharmacists willing and eager
to discuss ways and means whereby our pro-
fessional group could be banded together in
a more progressive one. North Carolina
Pharmaceutical Association dues amounting
to $178 were forwarded to Miss Alice Noble
together with properly signed applications
from seven new members.
An average of fifteen letters were received
each week from pharmacists, the majority
of them wanting to know where they could
get a job or where they could locate a phar-
macist for their store. This particular part
of my work was always welcomed as it
gave me an opportunity to bring employer-
employee together. In view of the fact that
there has always been and always will be
changes in our employer-employee relation-
ship, I suggest that a "Pharmacists' Em-
ployment Bureau" be set up by either the
North Carolina Board of Pharmacy or the
N.C.P.A. to supply dependable information
to those seeking same. My constant corre-
spondence with members of our pharmaceu-
tical fraternity leads me to believe that such
a bureau would be well worth any initial
effort to bring it into existence.
In most instances violations of our Phar-
macy Laws were corrected without resorting
to legal action; however, in a number of
cases we were unable to correct conditions
without enlisting the support of the courts.
Two such eases are listed herewith :
North Carolina
Lincoln County
In the Recorder's Court
before K. B. Nixon, Recorder
State of North Carolina
vs.
M. C. Cheatham
Judgment
Upon the call of the above case, the defendant
tendered a plea of nole contendere. The State in-
troduced W. J. Smith and R. L. Wilson who
testified as witnesses in the case. The State also
introduced a certificate from F. W. Hancock, Sec-
retary and Treasurer of the North Carolina Board
of Pharmacy, to the effect that M. O. Cheatham
is not registered as a pharmacist or an assistant
pharmacist in the State of North Carolina. The
State then rested and the defendant rested, de-
clining to introduce evidence. Verdict of the
court : Guilty as charged in the warrant. Judg-
ment of the court is that the defendant pay a
fine of $25.00 and the costs of the action to be
made up and taxed by the Clerk. This judgment
may be suspended upon the following conditions :
1. That the defendant pay the costs of the
action.
2. That the defendant not violate any of the
pharmacy laws of the State of North Carolina,
and particularly Section 6668 of the Consolidated
Statutes of North Carolina.

Judgment in each case
Defendants indicted for violation of Consoli-

Defendants through counsel, Wade H. Sanders,
Esq., tender a plea of guilty, which plea is ac-
cepted by the State.
176
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Judgment: Judgment of the Court is that judg-
ment be suspended on the following conditions :
1. That the defendant W. D. Conrad do not in
the future, until licensed as a Pharmacist, com-
pound, dispense or sell, upon prescription or
otherwise, drugs, chemicals or pharmaceutical
preparations.
2. That the defendant E. G. Willis shall not in
the future operate a drug store without having a
registered pharmacist or assistant pharmacist on
duty.
3. That the defendant E. G. Willis shall im-
mediately bring up to date and continue to main-
tain the various registers required by law in the
sale of poisons and hypnotic drugs.
4. That the defendants pay the costs of the
action.
One store, The Childs Drug Company of
Lincolnton, N. C, was permanently closed,
partly through the action of the North Caro-
lina Board of Pharmacy and certain credi-
tors of the establishment. One case is now
scheduled for trial, all the evidence having
been secured and a True Bill found by the
grand jury. This case will be reported in
detail in my next annual report to the
Board.
For the splendid co-operation and support
received from the Secretary-Treasurer, Mr.
F. W. Hancock, and from Mr. H. C. McAl-
lister, Assistant Inspector for the North
Carolina Board of Pharmacy, I offer my
sincere thanks.
Respectfully submitted,
W. J. SMITH,
Assistant Inspector,

PROPHYLACTIC LEGISLATION
During recent years various agencies have focused widespread attention to anti-
tereal programs, one of which is being actively sponsored in this state at the present
Le by the State Board of Health under the capable direction of Doctor Carl Eeynolds.
armacists are in position to facilitate the effectiveness of this commendable work and
I do so if given an opportunity to participate in the program.
In any program designed to control and eradicate venereal diseases, serious consider-
on should be given to the manufacture, distribution and sale of drugs, appliances and
dicinal preparations intended or having special utility for the prevention of venereal
teases. The writer through his experiences as Assistant Inspector for the North
rolina Board of Pharmacy knows that a large percentage of such merchandise dis-
buted from retail outlets other than drug stores is substandard and gives to the Con-
ner a false sense of security which is often highly dangerous to health. This un-
althy situation should be corrected at once.
Fourteen states have already recognized the menace of substandard prophylactics
d have enacted legislation controlling the standards and sale of this merchandise. Since
3 enactment of contraceptive legislation will aid and support the anti-venereal program
w being carried on by the North Carolina Board of Health and since such legislation has
3eived the endorsement of the North Carolina Pharmaceutical Association, active efforts
e now being made to secure such health protection for our own citizens.
F. 0. Bowman, attorney for the Association, has just completed a Prophylactic
II incorporating the best features of the 14 state acts now in force together with such
anges as suggested by members of the Attorney General's office. Copies of this Bill are
ing mailed to members of the N. C. P. A. Legislative Committee for their consideration
d it is hoped favorable legislative action can be secured on this Bill during the next
ssion of the General Assembly of North Carolina. — W. J. S.

more than thirty-five years of distinguished

Mr. Currens started his career with Nor-

Illinois in February, 1904. He made him-

not long until it was clear he possessed exec-
utive ability and as a result of this and his
outstanding sales record he was promoted
to the Managership of the Company's New
York Branch, January 1, 1913, and has since
made his headquarters in New York City.
For some time past Mr. Currens has ex-
pressed a desire for more time in which to
travel and to enjoy the fruits of his success.
In the early part of this year he specifics ill

Competition
Weary of having customers quote a ma

certain druggist sent to the catalog hoi
for one. He left it wrapped, just as
came, putting it in the case with his ov
stock. The next customer who quoted th
48 cent mail-order bottle was offered tl
package. "Here is one of them and y
can have it for their price."
"Open it up," said the customer, "so
can see what it is like." "No," the dru
gist responds; "here is their picture of
and here is the way they send it to yo
I sell it on the same terms. If you dor.
like it, send it back to them and get yo
money back." He still has that package u
opened and he has had little trouble selliijf
his own hot-water bottles. The same plf?
could be followed with other items. Try I
if you are called upon to meet such eon
petition. — Pacific Drug Review.

National Advertised Brands Week
(Note:— Hundreds of North Carolina druggists
lentified themselves in the promotion of National
advertised Brands Week and were well repaid
3r their efforts. Moss Salley and his right-hand
mn, J. W. Harrison, of Asheville, prepared and
■resented the material below over Station VVWISU
'he Journal, has received a number of well-
leserved comments on this talk. — Ed.)
It is a distinct privilege to be one of a
rlroup of local druggists invited by Station
'VWNC to speak to you this week and we
Ire all deeply grateful for this opportunity,
[pharmacy is the art of selecting, extract-
ing, preparing and compounding medicines
ffrom vegetable, animal and mineral sub-
stances and is an art as old as man him-
self. However, records of man's achieve-
nents in this art are known only since about
hro thousand years before Christ. The prac-
tice of medicine and pharmacy, until the
niddle of the eighteenth century, was con-
sidered as one art. It remained for John
Morgan, a disciple of Benjamin Franklin,
to be the pioneer who promulgated the ad-
vantages of separating the two arts and
making them separate professions.
It was not until 1821 that the first col-
lege of pharmacy was organized. This col-
lege in Philadelphia lent impetus to the
growing profession. Soon, more schools
'were organized, until at the present time,
almost every University has its school of
pharmacy.
The requirements for practicing the pro-
fession are: A four-year course in Phar-
macy and its allied studies of Materia
Medica, Pharmacology, Pharmacognosy,
Chemistry, Botany, Posology, Toxicology, et
cetera; one year's experience under the
guidance of a licensed pharmacist, and, of
course, a passing grade in an examination
;by the State Board of Pharmacy, the mem-
bers of which are appointed by the Gover-
nor of the State.
Your pharmacist of today has his con-
cept of integrity in dealing with his fellows ;
his concept of honor in the practice of his
profession.
It is entirely in keeping with these ideals
that we druggists of Asheville, together with
the druggists of America, welcome the op-
portunity this week to participate in Na-
tional Advertised Brands Week, for we offer
you merchandise of unquestioned merit put
out by reputable manufacturers; manufac-
turers who are proud enough of the quality
of their products to back them up with
national advertising.
So visit vour neighborhood druggist this
week, whoever he may be, and see his dis-
play of products you know at prices you
like to pay.
He is always ready to serve you, keeping
his store open long hours for your conven-
ience. Even after his store is closed, he is
as near as the telephone which has super-
seded the night bell — that clarion symbol
which was, in former days, connected with
his sleeping quarters up over the drug store.
Your druggist is wTell versed in the affairs
of the day: he gives of his time in discus-
sing with you the news of the day; of
Aunt Susan's high blood pressure; of little
Mary's new tooth or of Junior's earache.
He helps steer you to the right doctor for
your particular trouble and lends a sym-
pathetic ear to your personal problems.

Bowers of Owens and Minor Drug Company,
J. G. Vick of Parke, Davis and Company
and Paul Bissette of Wilson won't have
any difficulty in recognizing the gentleman
pictured here holding the 22-pound amber-
jack. To those of you who weren't so for-
tunate as to accompany the above mentioned
group on their fishing trip to Morehead
City, I might mention that the name of the
proud angler is B. C. Sheffield, manager
and owner of the Warsaw Drug Company,
Warsaw. After catching the big fish, Mr.
Sheffield was named "The Champ" by mem-
bers of the party.

My advice to A. Hitler is not to pick a
quarrel with Joe Anderson of New Bern.
He has an arsenal of over 200 guns and
pistols some of which look mighty deadly.
Although some of the guns haven't been
fired since "D. Boone cilled a bar" up in
the Blue Ridge Mountains, they could be

culty. Mr. Anderson also finds time to col-
lect Indian arrowheads and pursue his hobby

H. M. Cooke of Winston-Salem an

from the five pharmacists mentioned abovl

problem to help you burn some midnight oil
The name of the pharmacist who correctlj,
solves this problem and gets his answer

Jeport of the N. A. R. D. Advisory
Fair Trade Committee
Presented by J. A. Goode, Chairman
I (Note- — This report was presented at the 1940
Convention of the N. A. R. D. by one of the
nost loyal champions of Fair Trade legislation in
ihe United States. The Journal is happy to
present the report for your thoughtful considera-
tion.— Ed.)
In submitting this, the third Annual Ee-
port of your Fair Trade Advisory Com-
[nittee, we do so in the light of another
tear's operation of the law, and somewhat
In the nature of a supplement to our report
submitted last year.
' Your Committee has cooperated in every
way possible with the survey just com-
pleted by the Druggists Eesearch Bureau
'and the various state associations in their
effort to formulate legal plans for the
proper operation of Fair Trade legislation.
fin a sort of general review of Fair Trade
from its beginning up to the present date
your Committee feels it timely to exhibit -
the claims originally made for Fair Trade,
rand, by the same process of reasoning, re-
view the proofs established by Fair Trade
in its three years of national operation. Let
ius see, then, just what these claims were.
They were four in number, and embraced
:the following cardinal principles: (l),The
proponents claimed that Fair Trade was
designated for the purpose of outlawing
predatory competition, and in harmony with
I the principle of anti-trust legislation. (2)
:' The proponents claimed that Fair Trade
would prevent the destruction of the manu-
, facturer's good will in the eyes of both
the public and the dealer. (3) The pro-
» ponents claimed that Fair Trade would act
as a substantial safeguard in the interest
of the public, by preventing the sale of
• counterfeit and inferior merchandise through
the unscrupulous practices of cut-throat
\ competition. (4) The proponents claimed
. that Fair Trade was a practical, legal me-
dium for stimulating and maintaining
legitimate competition. That its principles
were consistent with consumer objectives by
; assuring the greatest value for the price
paid. These four original claims in behalf
of Fair Trade represent the cement, the
I sand, the stone, and the labor which went
into the construction of its solid foundation.
At the time of the passage of Fair Trade
and up to the present date, responsible
proponents of the legislation have made no
claim of the intention to legislate at the
expense of the public, and to the everlast-
ing credit of the sponsors of Fair Trade,
it can truthfully be said that Fair Trade
has not cost the public one thin dime. On
the platform of this Association, in the halls
of forty-four state legislatures, in the halls
of our national Congress and in the press,
the pro and con of the philosophy of Fair
Trade have been argued. Its merits and de-
merits have been extolled by able advo-
cates. The whole truth of the matter is
that Fair Trade legislation stood on its
merits alone, and won.
Having listed above the original claims
for Fair Trade by its sponsors, let us now
review Fair Trade during its three years of
national operation. We can do so with
pride and confidence. Your Committee lists
as follows proof of its accomplishment: (1)
Fair Trade has been held constitutional by
every single state supreme court to which
it has been presented for final review. (2)
Fair Trade has been held constitutional and
in the public's interest by the Supreme Court
of the United States, the court of complete
and final authority. (3) Fair Trade, by
reason of its merits, has attracted the in-
terest of the National Commissioners on
Uniform State Laws, and gives promise to
receiving their highest commendation. (4.)
Fair Trade has prevented the sale of coun-
terfeit merchandise and encouraged the sale
of quality merchandise. Valid court records
are offered in support of this statement. By
reason of the sound principles of competi-
tion established by Fair Trade legislation,
the courts have encouraged its enforcement
with rulings which marked distinct gains
during the year in upholding the validity
of retailer suits, and which permits any re-
tailer to bring suit to restrain Fair Trade
violations, irrespective of whether he is or
is not a signer of a Fair Trade contract.
(5) There is evidence on every hand that
Fair Trade has stimulated competition be-
tween manufacturers, with the result that
the public now receives more quantity and
better quality for its money than it did
prior to the advent of Fair Trade. For ex-
ample razor blades are 50% cheaper than
they were prior to Fair Trade. Mouth anti-
212
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
septies, tooth brushes and shaving creams
average 40% less. More than one thousand
other articles sold in drug stores have been
reduced in their wholesale list price, by rea-
son of the competition between manufac-
turers, stimulated by Fair Trade. Anyone
informed on the subject of competition
knows that, from the consumer's point of
view, competition between manufacturers
produces greater value for the price paid
than does competition between retailers, for
the very simple reason that the manufacturer
determines his price in light of his com-
petition, and by reason of his greater mar-
gin of profit is, in most instances, in posi-
tion to give greater value than could the
retailer if he sold at his actual cost or even
less. In other words, one of the very sound
principles of Fair Trade legislation has had
the effect of emphasizing competition to a
greater extent between manufacturers than
was possible prior to its advent. (6) In
one of the most accurate and exhaustive
surveys ever conducted in the field of dis-
tribution, with every question of doubt ruled
in favor of opponents of Fair Trade, it was
found that the national drug store bill had
been reduced as a result of Fair Trade legis-
lation. Fair Trade has accomplished the
full purpose and intent of both the Sherman
and Clayton anti-trust acts. It has pointed
the way to the Federal Trade Commission
in maintaining and stimulating fair and
open competition in the interest of the pub-
lic, by legal and court-approved processes.
The merits of the record of Fair Trade
legislation prove the case in favor of Fair
Trade.
With these indisputable facts on the credit
side of Fair Trade, the sponsors of Fair
Trade need have no worry as to the final
verdict of the jury of public opinion. All
that the public needs to know are the sim-
ple, true facts about Fair Trade, and it is
the hope of your Committee that you will
not fail to inform yourselves through the
statistical and factual data about Fair Trade
legislation, which may be obtained through
the National Association of Retail Drug-
gists and the drug press in general.
In familiarizing yourselves with the sur-
vey conducted by the Druggists Research
Bureau, and previously referred to in this
report, it should be borne in mind that ap-
proximately 75% of the total drug busines
by reason of their geographical location,
done by the small retail druggists in tow
of ten thousand population or less. To g
the full significance of this statement,
should be noted that 71% of the people <
this country live in towns of ten thousai'
or less. Under Fair Trade, in these sma
towns where the majority of the people liv
the public has been saved $4.07 out of evei
$100 spent for drug store merchandise,
might well be emphasized here that sin<
there are approximately three times tl
number of people living in small town
in a national or total sense, to the numbe
living in the big cities that there is approx
mately three times the dollar value of bus
ness done with the net result of approx'
mately three times the saving to the publi '
over all. This statement of fact offsets'
by its advantage to the majority of th
people of the country, the slight increase
in a few of the larger cities, where cut.
throat competition was more prevalent pruH
to Fair Trade. While the report clearli
shows a reduction in the national drug stor 1
bill in dollars and cents, it is not the onli
advantage the public has received, and you
Committee feels it is reasonable to assum-
that the public has received an additional
advantage in the safe-guard it enjoy:
against counterfeit and inferior merchan]
dise, as a result of Fair Trade legislation, I
The results of another investigation, con'^
ducted entirely independent of Fair Trade]
investigation, might also be noted here, and]
we refer to the report compiled by the Nal
tional Industrial Conference Board, whc
conducted a very exhaustive research intci
the cost of living. Let us see what hapj
pened. Selecting the years in which Fair
Trade has been in operation, in a national
sense, and comparing them to the figures;
which form the basis of this report to the'
cost of living prior to this period, we find
that the cost of living over all rose from;
82.6 points to 85.2 points, or almost 3|
points. In the same period the price of
drug store products, under Fair Trade, de-$
creased approximately 1% over all. Your
Committee makes bold to say that had Fair:
Trade been as general in its application dur-l
ing the entire period in Avhich the survey

Somen's Auxiliary of the Charlotte
Pharmaceutical Association
Mrs. Philip Van Every,
Corresponding Secretary
This fall weather just perks us all up —
'e begin thinking of football games, holi-
ay festivities and all the grand things that
ike place during the next two seasons. But,
I know a large group of "us girls" are
tappier over our drug clubs meeting again
Bian anything else. We had such fun at
lur convention here in Charlotte last May —
Let so many grand people, and it just gave
Ls such ambition to be a very lively club
lere.
Charlotte is a grand place to shop, and
,ve would love for some of you girls shop-
ping here to join us the second Tuesday
bach month — tell us what your clubs are
doing and enjoy our meetings with us.
You'd love it ! !
, For instance, had you been here in Sep-
tember when we met together for our first
meeting at Thacker's, not only would you
Shave enjoyed a dee-licious luncheon, but you
(would have had the proverbial "Barrel of
Fun."
Mrs. T. N. Edwards, our president, pre-
sided beautifully— started off our new year
with a bang by having us vote on matters
that might cause misunderstandings later.
Mrs. John K. Civil, our state president, was
also a very stimulating influence; and we
had a regular open-forum for ideas, plans,
and laws.
Seated next to me was Mrs. T. C. Year-
W00(j — our treasurer and secretary. You re-
member the swell job she did as head of the
prize committee at the convention. She's
a very capable woman and has so much
enthusiasm and spirit for the whole organi-
zation.
I peeped around Mrs. Edwards' shoulder
and there sat Mrs. D. L. Wheeler looking
quite stunning in black. She's our vice-
president and will make a perfect one.
Also with us was our state secretary-
treasurer, Mrs. H. L. Bizzell, so if you will
visit us, you'll see quite a few prominent
folk.
And, I do want you to have the pleasure
of watching our president preside. Mrs.
Edwards is very individual and it's quite re-
freshing.
Now, I must tell you of our committees,
for they play a very important part in our
activities :
Mrs. Louis M. Holmes is chairman of our
hostess committee. She was the lovely bru-
nette who welcomed you so graciously at
the convention.
If I mention the convention too much
(please forgive) you see 'twas my first and
I still can't get over it.
Then Mrs. James Boyce Hunter is chair-
man of the visiting committees. You all
know her. She was our president last year,
the real brains behind the women's part in
the convention and worked on every detail
of it with an untiring zeal and unceasing
strength and interest.
Mrs. T>. L. Wheeler is chairman of the
hospitality and program committees, and by
the way, I was quite interested to hear she
has the splendid idea of suggesting we keep
a year book. Wouldn't that be great! Let's
vote on it, girls!
Mrs. J. W. (Oh! Johnny!) Bennick is
chairman of the ways and means committee.
She's the one who cooked up the "veddy"
smart idea of us having a bridge tourna-
ment and attending it ourselves to make
money for our clubs. Clever these Chinese —
also these druggists and traveling men's
wives.
We'll let you know next month what we
decide about our year book.
Enjoy visiting with you.
Come to see us.
An Unpardonable Error
We regret exceedingly that we made an
embarrassing and unpardonable omission
in the October issue on page 156 in the
article entitled, "Entertainment Features."
We failed to state that the delightful
garden party and tea given at the Char-
lotte Country Club on the third day of the
convention was tendered by Biltmore
Dairies. This was one of the most beauti-
ful and elaborate affairs given in honor
of the ladies. Full credit was accorded to
Biltmore Dairies for the courtesy in the
May or Program Number of the Journal,
and we regret exceedingly that we did not
mention them as the hosts in the synopsis
of entertainment events in the Proceedings.
We are exceedingly sorry and extend our
sincere apologies to Biltmore Dairies. — A. N.

A Yardstick Free
How did your business answer the helm
in 1939? Were you quite happy with the
results? Have you any way of determining
how your business compares with others as
to merchandise costs, gross margin, ex-
penses for salaries, rent, advertising, de-
livery, heat, light, insurance, and other mis-
cellaneous expenses? It is difficult to go
about correcting conditions that contribute
to low profits or lack of profits without a
guide of some kind. The answers to these
questions and many more are contained in
the latest Lilly Digest. It represents 1939
drug-store operations broken down in many
interesting ways. It's a yardstick which
any retail druggist can use to measure his
own performance in the drug business. The
figures, facts, and findings were gained from
the free Lilly Analysis Service which has
been offered by Eli Lilly and Company for
eight consecutive years. Nearly 4,000 drug
stores provided the figures; 611 stores used
the service in 1940, supplying 1939 figures.
Three hundred and forty-five stores supplied
figures on their prescription department, so
that the latest digest for the second time
contains much factual data on the opera-
tions of the professional side of the drug
business. From the Lilly Digest you can
learn whether your prescription prices are
above or below average. The typical price
in 1939 was 91 cents. There are data on
country stores and on city stores, on large
volume and on small volume. Drug stores
quite similar to your drug store have been
studied from many different angles. Here
you can see what other druggists have in-
vested in prescription stock in proportion to
prescription department volume. Here you
will find material on buying in quantities
versus buying for turnover and the true key
to success in management — buying for re-
turn on the dollar invested.
You too can participate in this unique
service offered by Eli Lilly and Company
without cost, without obligation, and in
strict confidence. First, however, prove the
worth of the service to yourself by sending
for a Lilly Digest. These attractively pre-
pared reports should interest every drug-
car i
gist. They are highly constructive, and
for the asking. Better drop a post
asking for one today. When you have rea
it mark your calendar as a reminder to mak'
use of this free service as soon as youl
inventory for 1940 is out of the way. I
may mean hundreds of dollars in savings t.
you. To many druggists, according to grate
ful admission, it has meant thousands o:
dollars in savings because the individua
analysis has suggested ways and means oj|
bettering the return on every dollar in
vested in the drug store. Address Eli Lillj
and Company, Box 618, Indianapolis, Ini
diana. Just say you want the latest Lilly
Digest.
Warning— Fraudulent Parke-Davis &
Company Checks
In certain sections of the State of Michi-
gan and also in the State of Indiana, a bad
check artist has victimized a number of
druggists with fraudulent Parke, Davis &
Company checks. This particular party,
using the name of W. F. Eobinson, also
H. Bockman, talks about the products of
Parke, Davis & Co., poses as a Parke, Davis
salesman on a vacation, has printed check
forms that bear a certain but faulty re-
semblance to the genuine ones. In most
cases he negotiates for the purchase of a
camera or other merchandise running into
a total of a few dollars and tenders a check
for between $30 and $50 in payment.
We urge you to communicate with the
police the moment such an individual at-
tempts his fraudulent operations in your
store.
Formulary
The Duke Hospital Formulary, a seventy-
five page book containing a list of drugs
and prescriptions used in the wards of
Duke Hospital, is now abailable at one
dollar per copy. This well-organized pub-
lication was compiled by Pharmacist I. T.
Reamer and is particularly recommended
to those pharmacists who receive prescrip-
tions from this hospital. If you desire a
copy, forward your dollar to I. T. Reamer,

The Drive for Fair Trade
In the next issue of the Journal, this
action will carry a full report of the re-
ults on "The Drive for Fair Trade," made
uring the week of October 14-19 by the
'air Trade Compliance Members of the
I'air Trade Committee in respective coun-
ies of the State.
f The responses that have been received up
a the time this is written have been grati-
ying, indeed; but little time has lapsed
Ind consequently only a small number of
tie Compliance Members have furnished a
sport on the work done by them.
The purposes of this concerted drive were
(1) to emphasize the benefits that have al-
ready resulted from the Fair Trade Move-
ment and to point out its greater possi-
bilities when given the support it deserves;
and (2) to obtain funds by way of con-
tributions from the druggists of the State,
sufficient to enable the Fair Trade Com-
mittee to prosecute its work in the manner
in which it should be done.
Your County Legislative Chairman has
been appointed the Fair Trade Compliance
Member of the Fair Trade Committee of
the N. C. P. A. for your county. We ask
that you give him your full cooperation to
the end that the Drive for Fair Trade in
your county, at least, will be a 100% suc-
cess.
Drug Stores Preparing and Selling
Food to Get Health Rating
According to a recent ruling of Dr. Carl
V. Reynolds, state health officer, drug stores
that prepare and sell sandwiches are classi-
fied as restaurants and must be inspected
and given health ratings as such. Dr. Rey-
nold's statement follows:
' ' Inasmuch as many drug stores now pre-
pare and sell sandwiches and because these
same establishments in some instances dc
not regard themselves as restaurants ana
have complained because they have been in
spected and rated as such, an explanatior
may help to clarify misunderstandings.
"Without regard to the legal definition of
what constitutes a restaurant, it is neces-
sary to realize that although only a small
amount of food is involved in many eases,
sanitary food handling and health hazards
cannot be associated with the amount of
business involved.
"Drug stores selling only a few sand-
wiches, grocery stores selling only a few

C. P. Greyer, Sr., age 64, for 35
years a prominent Morganton drug-
gist and a former member of the
North Carolina Board of Pharmacy,
died at his home on the night of
October 5 after an illness of three
years. Funeral services were con-
ducted at the residence on Sunday
afternoon, October 6, and the body
taken to Ivy Hill, a family burying
ground at Upperville, Va., for inter-
ment.
A native of Rockingham County,
Va., Mr. Greyer located at Morgan-
ton in 1905 after receiving the de-
gree of Doctor of Pharmacy from the
Philadelphia College of Pharmacy,
and for over 30 years he owned and
operated the Burke Drug Company.
Three years ago he retired from ac-
tive work on account of declining
health. He served on the North Caro-
lina Board of Pharmacy for fifteen
years.
Mr. Greyer was a deacon of the
First Presbyterian Church, Morgan-
ton, and is survived by his wife, the
former Miss Mamie Virginia Chappe-
lear of Delaplane, Va., two sons, C.
P. Greyer, Jr., and J. W. Greyer, and
a grandson, two brothers and four
sisters.
Loyal, efficient, unselfish : these
were the traits which endeared Mr.
Greyer to the writer and to the drug-
gists of North Carolina whom he
served so long. In the passing of
Charles Peyton Greyer, pharmacy in
North Carolina has lost a friend who
cannot be replaced. — W. J. S.
Charles Peyton Greyer
An Appreciation
In the passing of Charles Peyton Greyer, who became a registered pharmacist in 1906,
ke profession of pharmacy lost one of its finest members and the State one of its best
itizens.
After receiving the degree of Doctor of Pharmacy from the Philadelphia College of
'harmacy in 1905, Dr. Greyer came to Morganton, where he owned and operated the
frurke Drug Company for over thirty years, retiring from active work there three years
igo on account of failing health. He was a Christian gentleman and served as Deacon
l the First Presbyterian Church of Morganton.
He served on the Board of Pharmacy for fifteen years — three terms — and his forceful
Ind decided, though quiet, personality and splendid equipment in his profession made
im a successful and acceptable member of this body.
On behalf of this Board the writer, who was not only a co-worker, but also his personal
riend and admirer, extends to his noble and devoted wife, his two fine sons, and other
lembers of his bereaved family, sincere sympathy and best wishes. — F. W. H.

less steel; the walls of the store are finished
in a delicate green bordered in cream and
maple-colored woods. During the opening
evening favors and refreshments were
served and an orchestra furnished music.

222 The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
Dean Rubber Manufacturing Co. Clears Federal Action
Considerable publicity has been given through the drug press to an announcement]
concerning the Dean Rubber Manufacturing Company of North Kansas City, Missouri
in reference to a decree issued covering defective prophylactics. An erroneous impressio:
prevails that the company has been prohibited from the sale and distribution of theili
products.
After checking carefully with all government agencies concerned, it has been founJ
that the entire controvery centers around merchandise intended for export and does not ii:
any way reflect on the company's domestic policy which conforms and is subject to thosJ
regulations imposed by the government upon all manufacturers of rubber prophylacticsii
In view of the fact that the action was a consent decree, there was no hearing, tria.1
evidence or testimony presented before the court.
To substantiate these premises the following statement, taken in part from a com
munication from the Pood and Drug Administration, September 13, 1940, and signed bj
G. P. Larrick, acting commissioner, says in effect that the action does not in any waj
prevent the Dean Eubber Manufacturing Company from continuing its normal course oi
business.
B. B. Burks of the Paramount Sales Company, Knoxville, Tennessee, distributors foi':
the Dean Eubber Manufacturing Company in this section, says: "We regret that efforts
to misrepresent the facts in the above controversy have caused some apprehension among
our many friends in the drug trade. However, we have endeavored to keep faith with!
our customers and feel that it will not be difficult for us to clarify our position and that
of our manufacturer in this connection."
In order to have the highest grade of merchandise for the entire Dean line and com-l
ply with the requirements of the United States Food and Drug Administration, it is neces- <
sary when testing to discard a considerable quantity of goods which have slight flaws.
Naturally, as these rejects are often far superior to any goods manufactured in several'
foreign countries, it has been the policy of Dean Eubber Manufacturing Company to'
export this grade of merchandise. It has never been the intention of the Dean Company:
that this merchandise intended for export be sold in this country.
"The active members of our sales staff, including E. E. Burks and W. M. Breeding, Jr.,
who work the Carolinas, will continue to advocate a strict drug store policy which we.
have followed for almost 20 years, and will work conscientiously to see that those lines j
we distribute protect at all times the best interest of those retail druggists who have so
loyally supported us for almost twenty years".

REPORT OF THE N.A.R.D ADVISORY
FAIR TRADE COMMITTEE
(Continued from Page 212)
was conducted by the National Industrial
Conference Board, the figures would have
been substantially more in favor of Fair
Trade legislation, and feels confident in
making the statement that the cost of liv-
ing, during the period under examination,
was actually reduced in the total figures
through the operation of Fair Trade legis-
lation. Certainly, no part of the increase
of the cost of living found by the research
of the National Industrial Conference Board
can be charged to Fair Trade.
In a sense, Fair Trade has gone through
its experimental stage and has justified it-
self, not only to ourselves as retailers, but
to the public as a whole. It offers much
hope to the future independent in all lines
of retailing. It has stopped the drain of
business away from the legitimate inde-
pendent merchant at no expense to the pub-
lic. The tricksters under Fair Trade are
now compelled to give full value to the
public if they conform to the law, in each
and every one of their transactions. Be-
low-cost baiting on a few well-known items
and then charging unreasonable profits on
unknown and off -brand merchandise, along
with other sharp practices are, under Fair
Trade, rapidly finding their way into the
limbo of forgotten things.
In view of the hundreds of thousands of
transactions conducted in the forty-four
states now operating under Fair Trade legis-
lation, we are gratified to report enforce-
ment from a practical point of view to be
satisfactory. We are constrained to believe
that the overwhelming majority of the vio-
lations of the law have been through igno-
rance rather than wilful intent.
In conclusion, your Committee confidently
believes that Fair Trade legislation will con-
tinue to make its contribution in the field
of fair business practices to the manufac-
turer, the wholesaler, the retailer and the
consumer. Your Committee has but one
fear and that is the fear of self-complacency
224
The Carolina Journal of Pharmacy
on the part of many state groups, and we
urge your closer cooperation and support of
the various Fair Trade committees who
function in the Fair Trade states, at the
instance of forty-four state pharmaceutical
associations. Only through an informed,
alert, militant and appreciative membership
of all of our associations, can the full bene-
fits of Fair Trade accrue to all parties con-
cerned.
N. A. R. D. Convention
North Carolina was well represented at
the recent New York Convention of the
National Association of Eetail Druggists,

lotte, Mr. Paul Bissette of Wilson, Mr. D. L.
Boone of Durham, and Mr. Phil Gattis of
Raleigh were on hand for the round of ac
tivities which kept our delegation busy frorr
morning to night.
Chairman of the N. C. Delegation, J. A
Goode of Asheville, presented a Report oi
the N. A. R. D. Advisory Fair Trade Com!
mittee which is published in the Jottrnai;
this month. Mr. Goode was accompanied tc'

Kathryn. President Hollingsworth of
Mount Airy picked up some good ideas
which he will soon be passing on to us
through the pages of the Journal.
Reports reaching this office from various
members of the North Carolina Delegation
indicate that Doctor E. V. Zoeller of Tar-
boro was the "life of the party;" that he
"took in" the World's Fair in grand style.

We extend a cordial invitation to all of our friends to
visit our display room and look over our 1940 line of Holiday

We have added many new lines and are sure you will
agree that it is the most magnificent line of gift merchandise
we have ever offered. We were fortunate in procuring many
lines that cannot be bought now at any price due to world
conditions.
Won't you come in and visit us early while the line is
complete?

Support Our Advertisers
Twelve times a year for twenty-one years the Journal has been published and mailed
3 a large group of readers throughout North Carolina and adjoining states. When the
Carolina Journal of Pharmacy was conceived years ago, the Association endorsed it
without cost to the Association." This endorsement of "without cost to the Association"
as been and will continue to be rigidly adhered to by the present Managing-Editor.
Since this publication has no wealthy philanthropist lurking in the background,
hrough financial necessity we must secure operating funds from the one source which is
vailable — our advertisers. If you enjoy reading the Journal each month, why not write
. letter or card to one or more of the Journal advertisers and tell them of your appre-
iation; better still, send them an order which will express yourself in a material way.
f you do this, it will greatly aid us to retain and increase future advertising in the
burnal.
Unless additional advertising is obtained it will be impossible to run 40 pages to the
;3sue as was the case with the November issue of the Journal. In the past the Journal
as averaged 28 to 32 pages a month. Believing that a larger Journal with more
epartments and photographs is desired by its present readers, an attempt will be made
y the Managing-Editor to increase the advertising which, in turn, will enable us to add
dditional reading pages.
If you are interested in helping us in this program of publishing a bigger and better
ournal, we will be glad to supply you with a list of the manufacturers who are on our
Prospective List" for future Journal advertising. Help us to help yourself. — W. J. S.

Eighty-one drug store proprietors and
clerks representing 21 North Carolina towns
met at the George Vanderbilt Hotel, Ashe-
ville, November 7, to pool ideas and examine
suggestions for more effective merchandising
methods. The "Clinic" was given over to
more than a half dozen addresses, a round-
table discussion and several moving pic-
tures and dramatic skits dealing with vari-
ous phases of the retail drug business.
Roy Johnson, president of the Asheville
Drug Club, welcomed the visitors, and Joe
Hollingsworth, president of the State Asso-

this skit. W. J. Smith, secretary-treasurer
of the N. C. P. A., urged the druggists to
lay more stress on personal service to cus-
tomers, to adhere more closely to state phar-
macy laws and to raise their business stand-
ards.
Roy Phillips, advertising manager of The
Asheville Citizen-Times, presented statistics
gathered by his staff in a recent survey on
why housewives trade at certain stores in
preference to certain other stores and point-
ed out that the study showed convenience
and service were more potent factors in the
choice than minor price variations.
The remainder of the morning was given
over to a short talk by A. D. Pollard, sales
representative of the Whitman Candy Co.,
on improved techniques for displaying and
selling candy and the showing of a moving
picture, "How to Take an Order over the
Telephone," through the courtesy of the
Bell Telephone Co.

minute radio dramatization of a drug store
scene, by members of the Asheville Drug

pletely mystified his audience by pull
eggs, coins, etc. from out of the thin

Pharmacy Senate
The University Pharmacy Senate, organ-
oid last year for the purpose of allowing
iividual pharmacy students to discuss
ipics relating to pharmacy, has enjoyed
i^eral interesting discussions this year,
ilme of the topics that were discused were:
•sition of the Pharmacist in Compulsory
ilitary Service ; Opportunities of the Phar-
macist in Governmental Service; Parlia-
mentary Procedure, and others.
The Senate has, at the present time, com-
mittees working on the framing of a per-
manent constitution, and adoption of a key
for its members.
For National Pharmacy Week, the Senate
decorated two windows in Sutton 's Drug
Store of Chapel Hill. Themes for the win-
dows were : Your Pharmacist — by Training,
a Scientist, and Your Pharmacist — by Pro-
fession, a Scientist. In the window empha-
sizing training were displayed chemical and
pharmaceutical laboratory equipment with a
background of many of the technical text-
books used by the pharmacy student. In the
window emphasizing professional skill were
displayed several "right and wrong" pre-
scriptions, with the typewritten prescription
in front, and both a container holding the
finished prescription as it would be filled by
an unskilled person, and a container holding
the finished prescription as it would be filled
by a skilled pharmacist. Also displayed
were a percolator, pill roller, tablet mold,
pill tile, etc. Many compliments were re-
ceived by the Senate for this display.
Although several of last year 's Senate
members were graduated, the Senate has
filled its roll from the waiting list, and the
members are looking forward to a full and
interesting program of discussions for this
year.

Master of Ceremonies: I would like to
make a few remarks about one word that
deeply concerns all of us if we are to be
successful in the drug business. That word
is merchandising. Only in recent years has
the word merchandising become the most
important word in the retail drug business.
The day has long passed when a business
will run itself. The day has long passed
when a retail business will run without
merchandising.
I might ask what we do mean by mer-
chandising. I think you'll agree that if I
asked twenty-five people in this room that
same question I would get twenty-five differ-
ent answers. So if my answer doesn 't agree
with yours to the " T ", I believe it will be
in the neighborhood of your thinking. Let
us break merchandising down into different
kinds of action: (1) Salesmanship; (2)
Display; (3) A knowledge of your custo-
mers' wants and when they want it and (4)
Advertising. By advertising I don't mere-
ly mean the price you have on Ipana today
but that extra quality and service that will
be found in your prescription department or
that quality merchandise you see in the rest
of the store or the extra something you have
that your competitors do not. This all
might be summed up to mean simply this:
Saying the right thing, at the right time,
in the right way, with the right merchan-
dise.
Like everything else there is good mer-
chandising and bad merchandising. A dis-
play featuring vitamin products in Jul
a store not featuring vitamin products
September, or a store that is not clean
attractively arranged is a poorly mercha
dised store. A store well merchandisi
must go through a constant change of di
play and arrangement day after day.
store that never changes in appearance hi
no appeal to the customer and no o:
notices the displays and signs.
People like change, they like variety. Tl
is one lesson the groceryman has learne
Not many years ago the groceryman w
not a merchandiser. Displays, price tickel
salesmanship, store arrangement, cleanlines
and the other things that make up goi
merchandising were not in his vocabulai
But today you walk into that neighborhoi
grocery store and see practically everythii
that is included in good merchandising. Yi
don't see the same displays week after wee
I ask why this change? Because the gi
ceryman realizes good merchandising is mc
profitable and that this is his best weap:
in fighting competition.
Merchandising is like mercury in that
is cumulative. A drive on a certain ita
may not produce the results you feel
should but in most instances you haj
posted judgment too quickly. The resuj
of any drive cannot be realized in a fj
days; frequently weeks pass before yoj
customer returns to make the purchase,
mistake we are apt to make in the ve
beginning of our merchandising is expecti
too much direct results. We must establi
a reputation over a period of time bef(
we can realize our reward.
Spasmodic attempts at merchandising
worthless. We have to merchandise
days in the year in order to realize the rj
value of a well planned selling program
Bealizing that salesmanship is the mj
important part of merchandising we hi
arranged a few simple examples of gc
and bad salesmanship which we will try
demonstrate for the sales people.

Greet your customers as you would like
be treated yourself, and you will find
ur list of customers growing larger and
lger as well as buying more and more
rchandise from you.
Talk to your customers and explain to
in about the product you are showing,
is is Salesmanship of the constructive
ae. It 's not ' ' high pressure ' ' to elabor-
S on the advantages of a product or to
ggest companion items that are logical
Irchases. Tactful suggestions are wel-
bied by customers.
Remember to hand your customer the item
enever possible. Have them feel it, smell
or try it whenever that is advantageous,
order to make them sell themselves.
Once a customer is inside the store it
pts little more to make two sales instead
I one. It is not what they come in for,
It what they go out with that makes the
pra profit.
Five cents worth of additional merchan-
ie sold to each and every customer almost
tables your net profits. This is because it
is you as much to sell a penny's worth
goods as it does a dollar's worth.
Certainly you want this extra profit. How
t can you get it?
Make it a rule never to let a customer get
t without suggesting something addition-
regardless of the amount of the sale,
ery extra penny adds profit like magic.
:<
A Craekerjack Salesman." Can it be
d of you? You couldn't win a better
compliment, for selling is the big job now-
adays. All great retailers admit it is more
important to know how to sell goods than;
how to make them or buy them.
Selling isn't mere separating people from
their money. It is studying merchandising
and studying people, and helping people ap-
preciate the merits of the merchandise.
Selling is a fine art if you make the most
of it. It sharpens the wits. . . . Makes
bigger men and women.
Out of every ten people trying to sell
goods, one is a real salesman. The others
are just order-takers.
The opportunities for the real Salesman
are practically unlimited. He need never
want. The latch-string hangs out every-
where for him ; and ' ' him ' ' means ' ' her ' '

a bottle of the highest quality. The new
process used in manufacturing this bottle
removes all the sulfur from the finished
product, thereby enabling the manufacturer
to guarantee this bottle for five years. Just
feel the weight of it. As you know, sulfur
is responsible for deterioration. You can't
buy a better bottle.
Customer 2 :' What 's the price ?
Clerk 2: Just $1.98, for five years or

Customer 2: Yes, I live just around the

reasonable prices until I saw your window
the other day. Are those just special prices
for a few days?
Cleric 2: No, they are our regular every-
day prices. I am certainly glad you men-

sometime it would be a good idea to use
those windows to tell the public that we sold
something besides cigarettes and beer. What

Encouraging Self-Medication
Doctors insist on a tight monopoly in the
healing art. They complain bitterly — and
properly — when some misguided] druggist
3ngages in counter-prescribing, and they de-
plore self-medication. We believe they are
right in both cases. Pharmacists should
confine their practice to their own profes-
sion, and laymen should entrust the diag-
nosis and treatment of their ailments to the
physician. He who tries to cure himself, has
a fool for a doctor.
But we believe that the medical shoe-
maker also should stick to his own last. It
is just as improper and unethical for him
to dispense medicines as for the pharmacist
to prescribe them. We also believe that
physicians are unwittingly responsible for
much of the self-medication that is being
practiced today.
A doctor who gives a patient with certain
Symptoms a plainly labeled manufacturer 's
sample, must expect that patient, if he gets
relief, to recommend that medicine to a
neighbor exhibiting the same symptoms.
That neighbor, being frugal and wishing
to avoid the payment of a physician 's fee,
will likely short-circuit the doctor's office
and go directly to a drug store to purchase
medicine bearing the same label and made
by the same manufacturer.
Too, when that medicine has become well
enough known to the general public to com-
mand a large sale, the manufacturer may be
expected to commercialize it as a patent
medicine. If he doesn't, some enterprising
patent medicine man probably will popu-
larize a similar product.
It should concern the doctor that laymen
who buy the medicine may have made a
wrong self-diagnosis or that they may so
extend the treatment or increase the dose
as to do themselves a great injury.
To the doctor who is so indifferent to the
welfare of his patient as not to worry about
their welfare (and conceivably there may
be such) the possibility that he is hurting
his profession and undermining his own
business should be a deterrent consideration.
There is much to be said in favor of the
old prescription, Avritten in Latin and call-
ing for ethical preparations. — N. A. E. B.

Durham Druggists Celebrate
Sixty pharmacists from Durham and
near-by towns met at Josh Turnage 's cabin
located on the outskirts of that city on the
night of October 23 to celebrate National
Pharmacy Week and to partake of Southern
barbecue with all the trimmings. Installa-
tion of the newly elected officers of the
Durham Drug Club and addresses by Joseph
Hollingsworth, Doctor T. T. Jones and W.
J. Smith were features of the gathering.
After a series of songs I. T. Reamer,
president of the local club, introduced
Joseph Hollingsworth of Mount Airy who
spoke on ' ' Pharmacy in North Carolina. ' '
Following this address, W. J. Smith spoke
to the gathering on "Pharmaceutical Ob-
jectives. ' ' Dr. T. T. Jones, prominent Dur-
ham physician, stated, while addressing the
group on "Physician and Pharmacist's Co-
operation, ' ' that ' ' Physicians should not
give oral prescriptions and that standard
packages should be prescribed whenever pos-
sible. ' '
Two quizzes, a slogan and a vitamin-en-
docrine quiz, were conducted by President
I. T. Reamer during the evening. Harry
W. Walker of Norlina won first prize by
correctly answering 23 of the 25 slogans.
Ned McKay of Durham was runner-up. J.
F. Lyon of Watts Hospital, Durham, placed
first in the vitamin-endocrine quiz with C.
L. Clodfelter of Whelan 's Drug Co., Dur-
ham, placing a close second.
D. L. Boone, Jr., Chairman of the Phar-
macy Week Window Contest, announced that
the displays installed by Boone Drug Com-
pany and Brewer's Drug Store had been
adjudged the best. Members of these two
drug firms were presented with valuable
prizes donated by the B. C. Remedy Com-
pany and Peabody Drug Company.
New officers installed at the meeting
were: S. O. Brewer, president; J. F. Lyon,
secretary ; I. T. Reamer, treasurer, and Ger-
trude Garrard, assistant treasurer.

Boatright Advances for Lilly
Bassett and Farrior Move
Continued expansion of the Lilly field
organization necessitates several changes in
district headquarters, effective January 1.

Bristol territory, will move to Richmond,
Virginia, where he will have charge of the
new Richmond District. A. T. Bassett, who
has managed the Atlanta District for the

new fields of endeavor.
Report of Women's Auxiliary —
Charlotte Pharmaceutical Association
Mrs. Philip Van Every,
Corresponding Secretary
Our October meeting was such a huge
success, 'til we needs must believe 'twas
our president's red hat. Certainly it did
lend a note of excitement and informality.
We voted for that year book. When our
president, Mrs. T. N. Edwards, said, "All
in favor raise your little hands," every
little hand shot up. She addresses us all as
"Sister," and we really feel like one great
big happy family.
We are thrilled over our new members, but
disapointed that we had no visitors. Our
invitation to you was sincere.
Honestly, our Secretary-Treasurer, Mrs.
T. C. Yearwood, is the "workingest" wo-
man I've ever seen. She managed to get
each of us a typewritten copy of our list of
members. Besides being very attractive, she
is efficient and I do mean efficient.
Our state president, Mrs. John K. Civil,
honored us with an explanation and paper
on the scholarship fund of the association.
Just before reading her paper, she said,
"As Uncle Remus says, I'll give it to you
just as it was guv to me." Mrs. Civil cer-
tainly is a gracious and inspiring leader
for us.
SALLYS IN OUR ALLEY
(With Apologies to Walter Winehell)
Charlorchids to Mrs. W. A. Dunkley for
offering her services as a palmist at our
party to make money for the scholarship
fund. She designs hats too and they're
lovely. Also to Mrs. W. L. Wheeler who
is busy at work on our year book.
Welcome back to pretty little red-headed
Kate Bennick (Mrs. J. W.) and off-ly boo-
ful Mrs. J. Boyce Hunter. We missed you
both last meeting. Bouquets to Mrs. E. F.
Rimmer for her achievements in the Phar-
maceutical field. (Don't Ave have a swell
association ! )
EYE SPIED ITEMS
Mrs. C. H. Smith looking very lovely
and glamorous in black. Her husband, as
you know, is president of the Traveling
Men 's Association.
Mrs. P. W. Delaney, daughter of Mrs.
Edwards, concentrating on her mother.
LOOKING GLASS
We didn't see Mrs. D. C. Lisk and missed
her so much. She's a swell member, and I
believe this is the first meeting she's been
unable to attend. All you girls try to be
with us next meeting. Let 's have a hun-
dred per cent attendance.
In the meantime, Mrs. Lee Bailey is work-
ing on our party to make money for our
scholarship fund, and we're looking for you.

Drug Labeling
(During recent months this office has re-
ceived a large number of requests for in-
formation pertaining to provisions under the
recently enacted Food, Drug and Cosmetic
Legislation. Since so many of the letters
relate to label requirements under the Act,
we are publishing the following letter sent
out by W. G. Campbell, Chief of the Food
and Drug Administration, Washington, to-
gether with a Memorandum On Warning
Statements Under Section 502(f)(2) of the
Act — Ed.)
"As you know, section 502(f) of the new
Act, with certain exceptions, became effec-
tive on January 1. The responsibility for
the labeling of drugs in compliance with
the requirements is placed by the law upon
the manufacturer or distributor. The Food
and Drug Administration cannot relieve him
of this responsibility nor share in it. Never-
theless, numerous requests for comments on
proposed warning statements for certain
drugs have been received by the administra-
tive officers in Washington, as well as by
our representatives in the field. In the past
it has been the general practice for the field
stations to forward such requests to Wash-
ington for reply. This has imposed a burden
on the headquarters force which has ma-
terially delayed our answers."
"We are appending hereto a memorandum
listing a number of drug preparations with
indications concerning the nature of warn-
ing statements which are not being subjected
to adverse criticism for the present. This
list is by no means complete, nor does it in
any way mitigate the responsibility of man-
ufacturers and distributors to comply with
the requirements of section 502(f)(2) with
respect to other preparations not included.
Neither does the presence of proper warn-
ing statements relieve a preparation from
compliance with section 502(f)(1), 502 (j)
and other sections of the Act. These com-
ments may be modified or altered at any
time as the fact may warrant."

Results of the Fair Trade Drive
We take pleasure in furnishing below a
report of the results from "The Drive for
Pair Trade" made during the week of
October 14th-19th by the Fair Trade Com-
pliance Members of the Fair Trade Com-
mittee in the respective counties of the
State. It will be seen that 30 of the 100
County Fair Trade Compliance Members
have reported, of which 5 are 100%. Fur-
thermore, it will be seen that 134 of the
800 or more of the total number of drug
stores in the State have made donations thus
far to the Committee. Other county chair-
men have completed their drive but have
not reported and still others have not
finished their canvass. These, of course,
will report later and the results will be
carried in the next issue of the Journal.
It is the hope of the Committee that the
remaining counties will produce as satis-
factory returns as the ones listed herein
below ; for in this event your Fair Trade
Committee will be in position to carry the
movement forward in a manner that will be
productive of greater benefits than ever
before.

American Druggists, October, 1940.
1 The law places the responsibility upon the
manufacturer or distributor to determine, in any
particular instance, whether or not a drug may
be dangerous to health. The circumstances, sur-
rounding the sale of the drug, must be taken into
consideration in determining whether or not it is
dangerous. The pharmacist is in a position to
know what drugs are likely to prove harmful, he
should guide himself accordingly.
Opinions or rulings of the FDA are subject,
in the final analysis, to court interpretation. An
adverse court decision will, of course, make this
administrative agency change its views.

Customer 2: No, I'm well stocked in those
items, but my tooth brush is about shot.
Cleric 2: Yes Sir, here's a brush with the
exton bristles that will last you a long
time.
Customer 2: It'll be all right.
ANYTHING ELSE?
That question has cost druggists thou-
sands and thousands of dollars, yet so few
realize it. A substitution of this expres-
sion, with a definite sales suggestion on a
kindred item to that which the customer
has just asked for, or an item that is being
sold Special at the time, will many times
ring those dollar keys on that Cash Eegister.
It is not claimed that this method will sell
every customer more merchandise, but re-
member one thing: the more No's you get,
the closer you are to a Yes. Customers like
to be sold. Everybody has admiration for
a person that tries, so if first you don't suc-
ceed, try, try again.
Most every customer that enters your
store offers you every opportunity to demon-
strate your sales ability ; every customer is
open to suggestion, and ready to buy addi-
tional articles if you will sell them. "What
you fail to sell them, your competitor will
sell.
One of the most vexing problems you
have to face lies in the large number of
sales so small that the profit from them does
not offset the actual cost of transaction.
I have just made the statement that a 5c
increase on each sale would almost double
your net profit. Now, I'm going to prove
it. We will take the experience of a typi-
cal city neighborhood drug store. The sales
in this store were $50,000 to a traffic of
125,000 customer transactions, make the av-
erage sale 40c; mechandise cost 66%; oper-
ating expense 28%, and a net profit of
6%. After increasing the average sale to
45c instead of 40c, gives us a sales volume
of $56,250. The merchandise cost, from a
percent standpoint, remains the same, but
operating cost and net profit are changed
considerably.
Here are the results:
1. Increased net profit from $3,000 to
$5,125. A net gain of $2,125.
2. Increased net profit percent — 6% to
9.11%.
3. Eeduced operating expense from 28%
to 24.7%.
4. Actually increased rate of net profit by
more than 50%.
5. Actually reduced rate of operating ex-
pense by nearly 12%.

Customer 1 : Oh, Doctor, I just lost my
lipstick. Have you got my shade?
Clerk 1 : Well Miss, I don 't know, I have
about every shade and color in the rainbow.
Here, how's this one?
Customer 1 : Oh, that 's too dark for me.
Clerh 1 : No, that 's darker than the other
one. How do you like this one?
Customer 1 * That's too light. What
shade should I use?
Clerk 1 : Now let me see. I think this is
the shade for you.
Customer 1 : No, that 's for a blonde,
can't you see I'm a brunette? Don't you
have some more shades?
Clerk 1 : Yes, I have some over here for
10c. How do you like this one?
Customer 1 : That 's not my shade, but
it '11 have to do, since its only a dime.
In Progressive Store
Customer 2: Oh, Doctor, I just lost my
lipstick. Do you have my shade?
Clerk 2: Yes Mam. According to Coty's
Beauty Chart a brunette should use either
Dahlia or Med. It is just a question whether
you like a light or dark lipstick.
Customer 2: I think Dahlia is O. K.
Clerk 2: Coty also makes a Dahlia rouge
to harmonize with that lipstick, thereby giv-
ing you complete match make-up.
Customer 2: Well, it is better to use the
same kind. I think I'll take that too.
Clerk 2: By the way, have you seen the
new Airspun Po. Vanity that 's been so
highly advertised recently in the fashionable
women's magazines? This new Airspun
powder is not to be confused with the ordi-
nary cake powder. Just a gentle touch with
the puff and you have enough powder for
one time use. Almost as easy as if it were
loose powder. But not nearly so messy.
Customer 2: Do you have my shade?
Clerk 2: Yes, your right shade is Ra-
chelle No. 2. What color case do you pre-
fer?
Customer 2:1 think I like the red one.

THE COSMETIC DEPARTMENT
A tough nut to crack. How many drug-
gists have you heard say, "It's no use.
The Cosmetic business has gone to the De-
partment Store ' ' ? Still there are many
druggists who have applied themselves by
using the make-up beauty charts prepared
by experts. Seventy five percent of the
sales in the Cosmetic Department are made
without much effort. But 25% of the sales
require a knowledge of shades, types, etc.
Do you know what shade of powder in this
line or that line is more suitable for
blondes — what shade of lipstick or rouge?
When we have acquainted ourselves with
these simple facts, selling Cosmetics will
be a pleasure, and that 25% of the cosmetic
sales that we are inviting competition on,
will be ours.
There may have been a day when any
shade of powder, lipstick, rouge or kind of
cream would have been suitable for the
Miss or Mrs., but that day has gone for-
ever. Your knowledge of Cosmetics must
be sufficient to meet the daily changing
trend of a customer that is a 1941 model,
who, without asking you, has an entirely
new set of buying habits, and from all in-
dications she intends to buy by them. This
trend in no way decreases demand, but on
the contrary has greatly increased the de-
mand for Cosmetics.
Can the loss of Cosmetic business in the
drug stores be traced to cut-price compe-
tition? No. Because, all the leading manu-
facturers have maintained full retail prices
long before Fair Trade. The loss of this
business can be attributed to our failure
to acquaint ourselves with the few funda-
mentals required to sell Cosmetics. This in-
efficiency is driving dollars out of our stores
daily.

Customer 1 : Do you have a bottle of
that 9c rubbing alcohol that I see adver-
tised by some of the drug stores?
Cleric 1 : No ! But I have a bottle at 23c.
I just can't sell it that cheap and make
any money. I can 't stay in business selling
at that margin of profit. If they want to
sell it at that price, it 's O. K. with me.
But I'm not.
Customer 1 : I 'm sorry but I have to buy
it where I can get it the cheapest.
In Progressive Store
Customer 2: Do you have a bottle of that
9c rubbing alcohol that I see advertised by
some of the drug stores?
Clerk 2: Yes Sir, we did carry that
cheaper rubbing alcohol until so many of
our better customers complained about it,
so we just discontinued it. But here is one
you pay a few cents more for, but it's the
same high quality used in hospitals and by
doctors. It does not irritate the skin or
leave any alcoholic odor like the cheaper
kinds.
Customer 2: I thought rubbing alcohol
was rubbing alcohol.
Clerk 2: No. There's much difference in
rubbing alcohol. None of the cheaper grades
are made from pure grain alcohol.
Customer 2: I'm glad to know that. How
much is that one?
Clerk 2: A full pint for 39c.
Customer 2: I'll take that one.
Clerk 2: You probably need some ab-
sorbent cotton and gauze? We have a full
V2 lb. J. & J. Cotton for only 37c and 5 yds.
gauze for only 49c.
Customer 2: Yes I will need some cotton,
and that will be all, thank you.
Alfred N. Martin Seriously Burned
Alfred N. Martin, Roanoke Rapids, was
burned seriously and the Rosemary Drug
Company almost destroyed on the after-
noon of November 20 as the result of an
explosion of a can of alcohol which Mr.
Martin had in his hand.
Mr. Martin suffered painful burns about
his face and one hand and arm. He was
rushed to a local hospital where he is
reported as "resting fairly comfortably."
The interior of the store together with the
stock of goods was ruined before the fire
could be brought under control.
It's Getting to Be a Habit
On the night of November 22 the Taylor
Drug Company, Durham, was entered for
the third time this year and a quantity of
cigarettes and about $2.25 stolen. This
time, officers said, entry was gained by some-
one breaking the front door glass of the
store. On both of the previous break-ins the
method of entry was through the roof.

N. A. B. P. Census of Pharmacy
H. C. Christensen, Secretary
In sixty-eight colleges of pharmacy dur-
ing the school year 1939-1940, there were
enrolled 8,762 students, as compared with
a total of 8,569 for the year previous, ac-
cording to the annual student census just
completed by the National Association of
Boards of Pharmacy. Questionnaires were
mailed in June but the final results have
just been tabulated.
This is the second consecutive year that
there has been an increase in the total en-
rollment. The 1938 figure was 8,190 stu-
dents, showing a gain of almost 600 in two
years. The steady increase in college enroll-
ment year by year, although small, is en-
couraging to those who have worried about
the possibility of a shortage of pharmacists
in the future. It shows that the four-year
course of pharmacy is gaining recognition
from prospective students.
The number of seniors graduating, how-
ever, was only 1,533 as compared with 1,842
the previous year. Most of this year's
graduating class matriculated in 1936, and
as the freshman enrollment for that year
was less than that of 1935, a decrease in
the number graduating was expected. By
the same token, we may expect a larger
class to graduate next year, as the 1937
freshman class showed about a hundred
more students than the 1936 class.
The new students matriculating in 1940
totaled 3,227 but as 128 of these were
transfers from other pharmacy colleges, the
net gain was 3,099. The 1939 new student
count was 2,920.
On the basis of a freshman count (for
64 colleges) of 2,363 in 1936 and a gradu-
ation class of 1,533 this year (from 68
colleges) we find that the drop-out percent-
age was approximately 46%.
BOARD STATISTICS
The registration statistics collected from
the boards are equally as interesting. Re-
turns from 45 states show that 2,271 phar-
macists were registered by examination
during 1939. (In a few instances, the
period covered is the fiscal year of the
board instead of the calendar year.) On
this basis, the total registrations for the
United States should be approximately
2,500 and this means that the estimated
21/2% replacement figure has been met.
The total number taking the R.Ph. ex-
amination in these 45 states was 3,648 —
so the passing percentage on board exami-
nations for the country as a whole was about
62%, which is low. However, it should be
remembered that the period covered was
one during which some five or six states
were still examining large classes of non-
graduates, and the passing percentage in
these states of from 20% to 40% coupled
with the fact that the numbers of candi-
dates were large, has done considerable to
drag down the average for the country as a
whole. In the majority of the states on a
college basis, the passing percentage ran
from 70% to 100%. That the number of
non-graduates still sitting in examination
was considerable is evidenced also by the
fact that the total number taking exami-
nation was 3,648, whereas the graduating
class of the period (1939) was 1842.
Naturally some allowance must also be made
for graduates who failed in previous years
and were retaking the board examination.
The examination statistics also show that
355 new names were added to the roster of
assistant pharmacists in eleven states. A
count of the total number of assistant
licenses still outstanding shows this number
to be 4,512 in 29 states. These licenses are
still being renewed, in some instances, al-
though the state no longer offers the assist-
ant examination. The following states show
an appreciable number of assistant certifi-
cates : Illinois 981 ; Colorado 497 ; Pennsyl-
vania 476; Connecticut 426; Massachusetts
414; and Wisconsin 353.
The total number of registered pharma-
cists on the active roster in 45 states and
Alaska is 112,055. This figure includes
duplications, however, as some pharmacists
pay renewal fees in two or more states.
For example, the reciprocal registrant usu-
ally keeps his original examination license
in good standing so as to be able to use it
in the future for further reciprocity.

Creomulsion Blotter
In line with the established policy of publishing unsolicited letters, articles
and reports of general interest to its readers, the Journal is glad to print
below a letter recently received from D. R. Davis of Williamston. Note:
Blotter together with signed letter are on file in this office. — Ed.
November 22, 1940.
The Creomulsion Company,
Atlanta, Georgia.
Gentlemen :
There has just come to our attention a blotter mailed to physicians by your company
on which the price of Creomulsion in gallons is quoted. We are confident that more
than one drug store in the United States will be disappointed in your efforts to encourage
dispensing on the part of physicians in towns where there are drug stores giving you
means of distribution. I know that one drug store will in the future sell Creomulsion on
call only, as long as this policy of the Creomulsion persists.
Respectfully yours,
(Signed)
D. R. Davis
