lIshment Opened
Feb. "a, 1905

m~asnington's birthday, Feb. 90, is
rusy OF dual significance to w. G..
",.iman, Brownsville druggist.
~. whitman as a patriotic Am
efican regularly observes the birth
oay OF the Father of His Country,
ahc likewise observes il as the ann
versary OF the establishment of the
whitman Pharmacy, the oldest phar-
macy On the lower border operated
by its original owner.
February %, 1928, is the twenty
third anniversary of the opening of
the establishment, though Mr.. Will
man., who was born in Brownsville
and remembers when the city boast
Cd a population of less than 5000,
lew Of whom spoke English, has been
engaged in this business since 1890,
3S years.
Mr.. Willman's experience in con-
rectlon with this work begun when
as a youngster he accepted a job
with j. L. Putegnat & Bro, who
were then conducting the "Botica de
Leon" Of the frat pharmacies
IN Brownsville. After finishing the
course Of study in the Brownsville
public schools, young Whitman went
to the st. Louis College of Pharmacy
from which he graduated in 1898. He
returned to Brownsville and accepted
q position as pharmacist with j.. l..
Futegnat d Bro, and was employed
by them seven years.
On February -, 1905, Mr.. Will
man opened his pharmacy in the
building now occupied by the
Olympia confectionery, and in 1910
moved his place of business TO the
Nivier building on Eleventh and
Elizabeth. In 1917 he secured the
building in which he is now located
and also purchased the Botica de
Leon, owned by the PutegnatS, and
G. Nj. Putegnat accepted a position
with him.
From that time the development
of the business has been steady, and
the Whitman Pharmacy is generally
recognized as one of the leading es-
adjustments in the Valley.
Few changes have been made in
the personnel Of the pharmacy. RAJ
mon Villareal, who has been en-
ployed by Mr.. Whitman as clerk for
% years, took that position shortly
after Mr.. Whitman opened his store.
G. Nj. Putegnat has been employed
as pharmacist since 1917. He is a
son of J. l.. Putegnat who estab-
lished the Botica de Leon in 1860,
and his son, George w., last month
passed the examination of the state
board and is now registered as a
pharmacist, making three generations
of the family Il take ur that profess
sion.
Mr.. Willman's father, George Will
nan, came to Brownsville in the
rly SOS when the present site of
She city contained only struggling
huts, and a few "dobe" brick struc-
lures constituted the business Sec
tion.
Il can remember distinctly when
the city had a population of about
$780," Mr.. whitman said. "Our sup
plies came by boat TO Point Isabel
or up the Rio Grande. Elizabeth
street was overgrown with grass and
weeds. with a road rutted by ox-carts
down the center"
