for Volume Buying.

1929 Sees Mergers and ComDlneS
for Volume Buying.
BIZ Times SpeciaI
NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE drug
field during 1929 went through the
most revolutionary year in its his
tory. The most pronounced changes
took place among wholesalers. Sixty
three formerly independent service
wholesalers, representing about 30
per cent of the total number OF
service wholesalers, were merged
into the McKesson & Robbins or
ganization. :,
over hundred independent
wholesalers aligned themselves more
definitely with the Druggists Sup
ply Corporation, organized for the
purpose of volume buying. The
largest mutual wholesale houses,
organized as an association, have
announced their intention of offering
their mutual system to independent
service wholesalers.
Drug, Inc, the largest manufac-
turing unit in the industry, added
materially to its holdings by &C
curing Bristol-Myers. Several less
important mergers occurred, al
though a few of large proportions,
pending for many months, were
dropped as result of the break in
stock market values.
In the retail field, chain stores
made the greatest progress, increas-
ing their volume and number OF
outlets.
