The Old Established and Popular
Firm of McCulloch, Fremont.


Deep in the shade Of our city's history, to
wit, lS4O, while the present prosperous corpo-
ration Of Fremont was yet only recognizable as
the comparatively insignificant village of
''Lower Sandusky, p with barely thousand in
habitants to call its own, Mr. c. G NicCulIoch ar
rived here, and in asmail frame structure then
standing on the present site of F. Emrich's
store, launched into the drug business and
book-selling. Being the first to thus evidence
desire to administer to the physical and
mental requirements Of the neighborhood, of
course, Gn his line, )he was "monarch of all he
surveyed" Slowly, yet surely he ascended
the "ladder Of success" assistance next be-
coming necessary for the efficient conduct of
his increasing business, and in 1912, his broth
er, Mr., G. Z. MoCULLoCH-the present es-
teemed head Of the concern-came to the res
cue. Rusiness still progressing, four years
later found the enterprising brother referred
to In new and more prominent position, that
Of head and chief of the business. Being
tradesman Of the best experience, of genial
disposition and answering integrity, his
prosperity kept fully apRce with the growth
OF the district. Here, however, unforeseen
and unavoidable reverses, (apart from his bus
mess in chief led to temporary embarras-
ments,and Mr.. McC. was necessitated to relax
considerable Of his interest in the firm
which was for seven years conducted under
the style Of Buckland s. Co.-but at the ex.
piration of that period, the entire interest
again reverted into his hands, and has re-
mained 30, intact, to the present day. Thus,
we may well congratulate and commend to
patronage one so peculiarly worthy of public
confidence for his idomitabIe spirit of enter
prise, to which, alone, may be fairly credited
the fostering and maturing of one of our lead
ing business establishments at once an acoui-
sition to our local prosperity. But pleasure
Bile as 1t may be to occasionally recall remin-
iScsnces of by-gone days, we must now pro-
coed to refer to the business and

With most attractive frontage, command

Quoted within, the store proper is 2Ox6O it., be-
ing abundantly adorned with upright and hor-
izontal glass show cases, amply stocked with
most charming variety of goods, which will |
alone be found to afford a source of more than |
ordinary interest and qualification upon scru-

THE DRUG, PATENT MEDICINE AND PERFUM-
ERY DEPARTMENTS.
No house in the State gives greater study to
select and keep in stock the purest drugs and
chemicals, which though frequently purchas-
ed with prospect of the merest profit are
nevertheless chosen in view to maintaining
the long and highly-prized prestige of this
house. In patent medicines full line is con-
stantly kept and from the large sales constant
y conducted at this place may invariably be
relied upon as fresh and genuine. In the dis
pensing department Mr. McC. is characterized
ior exercising the utmost care in oompounding
prescription and family recipes, almost invar-
ably giving this department his personal at
entiOn. We believe we are also right in re-
marking that this firm is the only one in the I
ity representing the homeopathic specifics I
prepared by DR.. Humphrey, of New York, 8
which are becoming largely appreciated and I
