Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Standard Drug Company was a drugstore chain based in Richmond, Virginia. It was founded in 1919 by Samuel and Leo Rosenthal, who were graduates of the MCV School of Pharmacy. The first store opened on Main Street in Downtown Richmond as a pharmacy only. In 1921 the Rosenthals acquired a large building at the corner of First and Broad streets that became the anchor store to the first discount drug chain in America. It thrived for decades, expanding throughout Virginia into Washington, D.C., and its Maryland suburbs.
