Recalls Old Scandal.
The resignation of Mr.. and Mr.
KiDbe recalls to the public's mind that
they were the vehicle on which Mayor
George A. Quigley first rode into poll
teal prominence. About five years
ago the mayor, then an alderman,
made some startling and sensational
charges in the common council, claim
ing that those in charge at the town
home were not treating the inmates in
a humane manner. He even went so
far as to hire a. special detective to
make investigation. The matter caused
a great municipal scandal and after a
most thorough investigation the
mayors charges were not upheld by
the council and the Kibbcs were ex-
onorated. There then followed q con-
troversy with the charity board and
AS a result several members resign ed.
The investigation made by Alder
man Quigiey however. appealed to the
popular imagination and served as the
stepping stone upon which the present
mayor succeeded in climbing into
municipal prominence.

at the Drug Store

In the past ten to twenty years bust
ness methods have been all made
over. Few things are bought and
sold as they were.
Perhaps the most marked evolution
of all has taken place in the drug
store. Where is the drug store of
yesterday, with it's rows upon rows
of glass jars, neatly labeled, its COL
ored liquids in the window, its wire
rack of sponges, and it's composite of
druggy smells, compounds which the
druggist concocted with his own
hands after his own formulas and la
beled with his own brand and name?
That drug store is a thing of the past.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1919-09-23

to compound prescriptions-is but
one of the many functions it has TAX
en- to itself.
One might truly say that the drug
store occupies the same relative posi-
ton in Richmond that the village gen.
eral store held in its day and genera
tion-a community center-a market
place. For today we meet and talk
with our friends-(telephone them)
at the drug store. We buy our
lunches at the drug store. We post
our letters, we seek our information,
we do much of our shopping-or can
at the drug store.
For the modern drug store, remem-
Der, has branched out. The druggist
of today runs a score of stores in one.
