The Column A Sideshow Os Events In Milford

MR. AND MRS. Kenneth Wright of Our Town are in the process of remodeling the old Troup house on South East street While taking out a south wall to put in patio doors they found a book which Mrs Wright (Jan) has turned over to us. The booklet was given to customers of the Milford Drug Co., when the company was located at 38 and 40 Main street. This, we are told, was the old Lambert Glove company location. The book, called a pocket companion, contains a six inch rule The first page says it is “something like the friend who grows old gracefully. The same face with little change by reason of age And yet. each appearance suggests new thoughts, and draws from the Old Friend bits of experience untold before Turn the pages and read of life saved, life blessed, burdens lightened, and learn the secret of making ‘life worth living. - Then apply the remedy” So. we turned the pages and found . . Simmons Liver Regulator, with the Red Z on the front of the package. All should be taking Simmons Liver Regulator for indigestion, for pimples, for malaria, for constipation. for jaundice, for biliousness, for a tonic, for flatulency, for a sick headache, as a regulator for the blood. We then found an 1887 calendar And. learned that if mothers would gut a “few drops of Darby's Prophylactic Fluid in the wash water when children are prepared for school it would make them safe against any contagion (measles, scarlatina, scarlet fever, varioloid or diphtheria, in the school room." And. the same fluid could be used for burns and sprains and bruises. A real bargain, it sold for 50 cents a bottle Rather have a pill? How about Simmons Renovator Pill or Simmons Fever and Ague Pills. Both are “good, and none better to be had. and many people take them." Again, the cost was 5® cents.

However, if you wanted something more expensive, you could purchase Prof. Parrish's Glycerole of the Hypophosphites for coughs, colds and consumption. The preparation was “superior to any other for throat and lung troubles. Price. $1 a bottle." We could not help but wonder what the doctors of today would say about all these “cures." And. what would the school officials say about the use of Darby’s Prophylactic Fluid being used for protection against measles? A LARGE number of persons from the Christian church are hard at work making plans for a Noah's Ark day. The special day will be held on Sunday. June 8. and will give youngsters a chance to see and learn about many animals first hand. They will also be taught the story of Noah, the ark he built and the animals he saved when the floods fame Numerous plans are underway for the day which will also be a kick-off for the church's Bible school which will run June 10-13 and 17-20. SUNDAY,IS Mother’s Day and everyone should remember his or her mother and the things she has done People over New Paris way have a very special mom . . . Rose Goodman was named “Indiana Mother of the Year". Last year she was named “Indiana Merit Mother of the Year”. Mrs Goodman will appear with the other 49 “Mothers of the Year" from throughout the USA at a gathering to be held in New York. The Goodmans are well known in Our Town by many because they founded. the World Missionary Press. Inc., and many from here go there to donate their services.’ HAVE YOU seen the light green bus on the area roads*’ It has New Salem Church of the Brethren written on the sides. 4 Q MEMBERS OF the Milford Lions club met at their stand in North Webster late Monday afternoon with paint brushes in hand. Their return to Our Town later in the evening brought no doubt as to what they had been doing as most had dabs of white paint here and there and all were elated about their mission accomplished. IN OUR TOWN the name of Smith has not been a hard one to have because Smith. Miller,

Jones. Green and all the so called “busy American names" have not been as prevalent as names like Beer. Wuthrich. Yoder. Haab. etc. In the almost 29 years the writer has been in the area there were only three years that the name Smith was a problem, for two of these years there was another Richard Smith on r I at the time we lived on that route and one other year there was a Betty Smith in Milford when our address was r 1. Now we have passed the problem over to our son and his family! A new resident of Our Town is Ron Smith, who moved here with his wife and two small sons. They live in the former Cain home on

West Emetine. The home is now owned the Beers. The “new” Ron inquired at The M-J office the other day on how to pay his water deposit. Della B. called Harry Schultz for him and Harry preceded to tell him that he had already paid his deposit. This was news to the new resident. The "old” Ron Smith in Our Town had recently changed from his own pump to city water at his home on West Section street. This caused Harry some confusion over the “new" Ron Smith. The "new" Ron preceded to explain the situation. Well, “new" Ron. even though your name might be a problem since you both live in the 500 block west, only two blocks apart.

we re glad to welcome you and your family here from Frankfort. “New” Ron is in management at Escapade homes south of New Paris and "old” Ron is still in the oil business. Guess the middle initial will really count for these two families as long as the “new" Ron doesn’t have a D. also. Postmen beware! By, the way “new" Ron. our subscription rate is $6 per year. I don't think that question ever got answered in our office the other day. BJS LAKELAND LOCAL Mr. and Mrs. Dane Rarick and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Hurd were Sunday guests in the Gerald Grove home. All are from Milford.

Hook's first quarter sales are record; earnings off slightly

Record sales for the first quarter of 1975 were announced by Hook Drugs, Inc. on April 30. Total sales for the three month period were $31,965,422, compared to the 1974 figure of $26,908,586. This represents an increase of 18.8 per cent according to Norman P. Reeves, Company president. Net earnings were down slightly, from $867,226 in 1974 to $857,645 in 1975. Earnings per share were off one cent, from 31 cents to 30 cents in 1975 and based on the average number of shares outstanding. One factor for the earnings decrease was attributed to the opening of eight new drug stores during the three

month period A dividend of 20 cents per share was declared earlier, payable April 30 to shareholders of record April 15 The eight new drug stores are located in Hobart, Huntington, Warsaw, Covington, Fort Wayne, Kokomo. Ellettsville, and Pendleton. This brings to 203, their total number of stores. The firm’s 200th store was opened on March 7 in Fort Wayne.
