DRUG BUSINESS
CHANGES HANDS
F. c. SMITH SELLS STOCK TO
d. w. sCHNACK AND r. b.
SYVERSON.

Back In the year 1882 Frank G
Smith came to this city from AL
bany, Wisconsin. and started In thu
drug business. having as a partner
Mr.. Cook. For two years bushes,
was conducted In small fran,
building on the east side of EgaI
avenue after which time a move wa!
made to the west side where a per
manent location was made for a peri
cd of sixteen years. This was 9
step in advance since it meant ths
occupancy in 1897 of a fine new
brick structure which Mr.. Smith
caused to be erected in that year
the same building that was very re-
Gently purchased by J. C. Schultz
Along about this time, Mr.. Smith
foresook active participation in the
business for six years. the partner
ship being dissolved in the year OF
1894. Mr.. Smith then made another
move to the present location. Dur
ing all these years close application
to building up the business brought
much success and with 1t satisfactory
financial betterment.
Now Mr.. Smith is retiring from
the line of business that has so en-
crossed his attention. A well earned
rest is to be taken and in Mr..
Smiths stead, both d. w. Schnack
and r. B. Syverson, the new pro-
prietors. will conduct the business
at the old stand.
After Christmas this Rexall store
will be closed for invoicing prior to
actual possession by the new firm on
January 1, 1920.
Mr.. Syverson is well known in this
vicinity. He has served in the capac-
'ty of pharmacist in former years at
both the j. C.. Schultz and the A. H.
Osborn drug stores. His services
were engaged by Mr.. Smith about
two years ago. Mr.. Syverson is
rather reserved in manner but is
possessed of pleasing personality
and a desire to be faithful, obliging
and painstaking both in his care of
business and his own private affairs.
His associate in the new undertak-
ing, Mr.. d. w. Schnack, was raised
in this county and Madison has
been his home almost since early
boybood. For the past seven years
he has conducted a successful Jew
elry and watch repairing bus ness
in the Smith building. Mr.. Schnack
is graduate of theological school
of some prominence. His associa-
tion with Mr.. Syverson is a guaran-
tee OF fair dealing, since both gentle
men are strictly honest in every par
ticular.
Mr.. Smith and his wife are plan
ming on making trip to the Pacific
coast to spend the winter. The for
mer has sold practically all of his
city property interests but has re-
tanned possession of the farm. He
has not decided as yet just what line
of business he will engage his time
in the future but one thing is GER
tain, he is in no hurry to actively
enter business life again. Mr.. Smith
leaves his business with grateful
thanks to his customers who by their
fidelity Of patronage have helped to
make this Rexall store, the only one
n this section, sixth in the state in
its volume of business.
