New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1903-06-10

Elaborate Program Arranged For
Their Delectation.
New Ulm will be in it's best holiday
dress and spirits next Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday, June 10th, 18th
and 18th, the dates for holding the
nineteenth annual meeting of the Min
nesota State Pharmaceutical associa-
ton and the third annual meeting OF
the Minnesota Pharmaceutical Com
mercial Travellers auxiliary.
The local committee on arrange
ments, consisting of Messrs. And. j.
Eckstein, O. M. Olsen, w. G. Alvin
and Eug. A. Pfeferle, have been max
ing preparations for this affair for
months and they purpose entertaining
their guests in a manner which will
give the most widespread satifaction.
How far they have succeeded may be
judged by the fact that, from present
indications, the convention this year
will prove to be the most successful in
the history of the society ~ s...
All business meetings will be held
at Turner Hall and the association
will strive to maintain the reputation
established in former years for accom-
plishing results. Several important
matters will be up for consideration
one being the arrangement of a uni
form schedule of prescription prices.
Although it is not intended to make
increases, this is a project which will
appeal to all druggists and a special
committee will be appointed to handle
it. A. second committee will investi-
gate the advisability of establishing a
scholarship at the College of Pharma-
cy of the University Of Minnesota, it
having been urged that a degree should
be conferred at the completion of the
course; and it is expected that the COM
mittee named a year ago upon the
formation of a Ladies' Auxiliary, to
be limited to the wives and daughters
of druggists, will submit a favorable
report + .'s-- ,
From assurances which President
Eckstein has received and judging
from the interest which is being dis
played throughout the state. it is
expected that fully 300 delegates will
be in attendance. Travelling men,
druggists wives and visitors will
swell that number greatly and it is
likely that between $50 and 500 strang-
ers. will be in the city during the three
days. One fact which would Indicate
a large attendance IS that railway
rates of fare and one-third from all
points in Minnesota have been secured,
with the additional concession of a
one way rate from St. Paul and Min
neapolis., Pharmacists of the latter
city have awaited themselves of the
last named opportunity and will come
to the convention in a body.
A few of the delegates, those resid-
ing in distant cities, will arrive in the
city as early as next Monday morning
but the major portion will reach here
on the noon trains Thursday. All
will be met at the trains by the recep-
ton committee, who will provide what
ever information is desired. In the
way of handling the crowd the hotels
have volunteered the information that
they can accommodate 300 without diff
fculty and arrangements have been
made to entertain the rest in priv ate
homes. This feature of the arrange
ments will be left in charge of Eugene
A. Pfefferle who has reduced it to a
systematic basis. He will provide each
unassigned delegate with a regulation
lodging card and will have assistants
to see that none go uncared for. I.
For the entertainment of delegates
and visitors most elaborate program
has been drawn up. Tuesday after.
noon at 2 O'Clock the opening session
Twill be- held. in Turner Hall, and
Secretary Olsen will distribute the con
| vention badges. Five hundred ofsthe
latter have been obtained and they arr

gold lettering, bearing a celluloic
shield upon which appears the mortar
and pestle of the profession. Mayo
Weschcke will welcome the druggists

part of the society, after which Presi
dent A. j. Eckstein will deliver tn
annual address. Before adjournine
