and went to Philadelphia for brief
stay, returning to this city in Octo-
Der, 1907, and served as assistant
pharmacist to DR.. James A. Jackson,
remaining there for three years.
He passed the State Board OF
Pharmacy in 1908. Upon leaving
DR.. Jackson's employ he formed a
partnership with the late Silas H.
Shackleford, Phar. D., and opened
business under the firm name of
Bowles & Shackleford in 1910, being
located at 1924 North First Street.
Later a branch was established at
2813 P Street, Church Hill, with DR..
Shackleford in charge. They finally
decided to transfer the branch to 221
East Clay Street, southwest corner
of Third and Clay Streets. This was
accomplished in 1921.
DR.. Shackleford died in 1922 and
DR. Bowles purchased his rights,
titles and interests and secured abb
soiute ownership of the pharmacies.
In 1924 DR.. Bowles sold the pharma-
cy at 1924 North First Street, de-
voting all of his time and energies
to his present business at southwest
