Your Pharmacist Is AN EXPERT ON
DRUGS AND MEDICINALS

DRUGS AND MEDICINALS
The pharmacists life is devoted to constant
study of drugs and medicines and he has daily ex-
perience with their use and effect.
He is trained in chemistry, biology physics,
toxicology (poisons and their antidotes) chemo-
therapy (the of drugs in treatment of infectious
diseases), pharmacognosy (the nature and sources
of natural drugs) and pharmacology (the action of
drugs on the body.
In our state today, the young man or woman
entering pharmacy attends the University of Min
nesota College of Pharmacy for five years and serves
one-year internship in a retail pharmacy or hos
pital pharmacy under the direct supervision of a
registered pharmacist
Before being licensed by the Minnesota State
Board of Pharmacy, the future pharmacist must
also pass the rigid written and practical examina-
tons given by the Board and meet all its other
requirements.
The pharmacist must never stop studying his
seience-because wondrous new drugs and medi-
cines are constantly being discovered, developed
and manufactured. In fact, new drugs are now APP
pearing at the rate of more than one for each day
OF the year, including weekends and holidays
Little wonder then that the pharmacist is the
recognized expert in the community regarding drugs
and medicines of all types.

InstuIIment Debt

Consumers increased their

bile installment paper accounts
for nearly $18 billion of the

II there's anything Gilbert
Hahn hates to do. it's to throw
away a pair Of shoes.
Mr.. Hahn, 6e. president Of
William Hahn and Co., Inc,
owns thousands Of shoes. His
chain Of 13 stores, founded by
his father in 1876, is one of
the Nations largest family
owned shoe concerns.
But in actual practice, he
keeps about 10 to is pairs of
shoes in his personal wardrobe
Ia surprisingly modest number
for a man in his business. He
admits he'd probably have more
except that Mrs. Hahn oc-
casionally encourages him to
discard the old.
"She thinks / have too many
Shoes" he explained.
Mr.. Hahn naturally likes a
good pair Of shoes. Raised
among them, he was trained to
enter the business from child
hood.
In Shoe Factory
He recalls his first Job was as
q cutter in a shoe factory in
Carlisle, Pa. where he worked
for SIS a week. He went from
there to a fashionable shoe
store in New York as a sales
man, joining his fathers firm
a few months later.
MY father wanted me to
have that outside experience
first" Mr.. Hahn said.

Growth Here
OF Air Freight

There is a rising volume Of
air freight flown in and out of
Washington National Airport,
American Airlines said today
E. c. Taylor, the company's
vice president for cargo sales
and service, said: "In many
cases our new DC-7F planes
enable a manufacturer to in
stall a modern method of dis
tribution, giving his customers
better and faster services at
less cost. Cost-conscious ex-
ecutives find air freight can
increase efficiency and gain a
considerable competitive ad-
vantage"
He said commodities most
frequently shipped via Ameri-
can are machines and machine
parts, electrical equipment and
parts. cut flowers, wearing ap-
parel, autpmotive parts and
accessories. metals and metal
products, and aircraft parts
and accessories.
Mr.. Taylor pointed out that
the speed and dependability of
this new service enable major
shippers to cut warehouse and
inventory expenses, expand
markets, boost sales, and in
crease profits.
Nationwide airfreight busi-
ness has grown from over 100
million ton miles in 1949 to
more than 500 million ton miles
in 1859. The new DC-7F air.
freighter of American Airlines
is capable Of carrying some
$4,000 pounds of cargo, officials
explained.
Mr.. Taylor said businessmen
in general do not pay sufficient
attention to the physical dis
tribution of their products, that
they have too few figures on
which to make a conclusive an
alysis of transportation costs,
and that many have little con-
ception of the advantages of
speed and the lowering of dis
tribution time and cost.
American Airlines said among
major corporations utilizing
distribution airfreight to ad-.
vantag are: Raytheon Co..
American Optical, Armour
Pharmaceutical, Curtis Indus
tries, Beckman Instruments,
Friden Calculating Machine

highly competitive field-has
tripled in the last 10 years,
according to Mr.. Hahn.
The firms 14th store is sched-
uled to open in Marlow Heights
in the spring Of 1861.
Mr.. Hahn credits the growth
OF his company to his fathers
guiding principle: Give the
public good shoes and good
service.
That was the policy Of our
founder" Mr.. Hahn observed,

to improve on that"

ton. He is also a founder and
I former chairman of the Ma
tional Shoe Institute, an in
dustry promotion group COM
posed of leading shoe manu-
factureres and merchants.
Likes to Fish
However, except for those
activities and a few others,
such as the United Givers Fund,
Mr.. Hahn is not a joiner.
II like to stay home in the
evening, and I like to fish," he
declared. II do great deal of
fishing. sometimes in Maine
and sometimes on the Ches-
peake Bay. and I occasionally
try to play golf"
He says he's "the last of the
second generation of this family
that has run this business"
but, spry as much physically as
he is mentally, he has no inten-
ton of retiring. Four nephews
and his son, Gilbert, jr., are also
active in the firm.
1T would be a big mistake to
let down now," Mr.. Hahn as
serted. Il intend to stay very
active"
