WHOLESALE DRUG
 COMPANIES RECORD
Doster-Northington Recog-
 nized as Leading Concern of Kind in Gulf States

The growth of Birmingham is strikingly
 demonstrated in the record of the Dos
 ter-Northington Drug company, the lead
 ing wholesale drug house of the gulf
 states.
 In September 1902. just 10 years ago, the
 Doster Drug company, already established in the wholesale drug business, merged
 with Nabers Morrow & Sinn1ge. M. P.
 Warrington having become identified
 with, the organization, the name was
 changed to the Doster-N -Northington Drug
 company, Drs. Nabers and Morrow, at
 that time retiring from active duties.
 The company immediately occupied the
 Nabers & Morrow building. which was
 then considered the largest and finest i. business structure in the city, having a s floor space of 16,o0o feet.
 !. The business rapidly outgrew these ! quarters; and, securing their present loca- z tion at 21dS-10 First avenue the company : constructed a modern 5-story building. : planned especially for the wholesale drug Z business with Ss,00o feet of floor space, 2 and thought they had made provision z for all their requirements for several de- 7 cades to come.
 It was not long, however, until it be-
 came necessary to erect a large ware ! house adjoining the store to take care E of the continually growing stock. And Z the end is not yet; for the business is 2 expanding every year, and additional pro-
 visions for space are confidently pre- : dicted by those acquainted with the scope of the company's operations.
 These physical facts of growth are in,- . pressive as illustrating the steady strides 5 of a great business, but behind them is z something more significant. They stand for organization. adequate equipment and { service. all of which are expressed in
 the ability of the Doster- Northington : Drug company to make complete installa- : lions for drug stores, hospitals and ir- 7 firmaries-no matter how extensive-in ! the shortest notice.
 ' Tn addition to their regular lines they : lhave built up very large trade in holi- 7 day goods, and merchants who were for 2 merly accustomed to order from the east : ern and western cities now come to Bir- z mingham and buy in person from the . Doster- -Northngton Drug company, or make their selections from the complete : line of samples carried by it's travelling , Representatives.
 -, Underneath the big physical structure 7 from which the operations of the con- :. pany ramify in all directions, is the bed ! rock of probity. The Doster Northngton $ Drug company lives up to it's word ful- ; fills its promise, stands behind every art ! 1cle it sells.
 . The officers of the DosterNorthngton { Drug company are: J. T. Doster presi- = dent; G. NJ. Morrow, vice president; NJ. . F. Northington, treasurer; w. A. Davies, ' Secretary; J. F. Yeates assistant secre- Y tary.
