". jun - Ntlu i He DullulnR WAS one
OF the first erected and John c. Reed,
the owner was the pioneer pharmacist
OF Clarion. He is expert in his profes-
sion, but has unique ideas of business,
one being that he would never allow his
store to be cleaned, and the accumula-
ton OF various articles had made curl
osity shop OF the interior. There were
drugs stored away in the shelves and
under the counters which long since
were taken off the list of the wholesale
houses and have ceased to be manu-
iactured. Drugs from which Mr.. Reid
flled prescriptions, the component parts
OF which are familiar only to himself
and some few of the gray-haired medi-
cos OF Clarion county. The fire fiend
also destroyed a valuable collection of
daily newspapers and magazines. MIR.
Reid has been an omnivorous reader in
his long life, and early contracted the
habit OF keeping file OF all the publica-
tions to which he subscribed. Especi-
ally during the Civil war time was he
careful TO get complete files OF the publi-
cations OF the day and preserve them.
