Hook Drugs celebrate 85th anniversary

Using $2,500 he borrowed from his father, 19-year-old John A. Hook purchased his first store on the near southside of Indianapolis 85 years ago. What he started became the largest drug store chain in Indiana. Hook had just graduated from a two-year pharmacy school at the University of Cincinnati, and was anxious to strike out on his own. By 1908, the enterprising young Hook had acquired a second store, and by 1914 the growing chain numbered seven. By 1931, there were 43 Hook’s Drug Stores in Indiana, and when Hook died in 1943 ( 63-years-old), the number had grown to 54. Upon Hook’s death, the presidency of the company was assumed by Edward F. Roesch, who had joined Hook as an assistant manager of his second store "in 1908. Roesch led the company until he was killed in an automobile accident in 1956. Bud Hook, son of the founder, was then appointed president. It was the dawning of the selfservice era, and Bud Hook moved quickly to modernize or close the old self-service type stores and converted them to this new way of merchandising. He assumed the position of chairman of the board in 1972, and Norman P. Reeves, who started with the company as a store manager in 1945 was named president. He was named chairman of the board in 1978 when Bud Hook retired and his son, J. Douglas Reeves, was elected president of the company. Reeves died in 1981, and J. Douglas was given additional responsibilities as chairman of the board. • \ Hook’s established tradition of providing high quality pharmaceuticals and pharmacy services from the earliest days, a tradition which continues today.

The seminar is being sponsored by the Church of God World Service and will be conducted by Rev. Ralph Hatch, Anderson. —o— THE CAT has devised a new activity to amuse herself. She has been throwing things down the stairway and watching them bounce into the living room. Her favorite missiles seem to be copies of the Bobsey Twins books. She has to go to considerable trouble to remove a book from the top shelf of the bookcase, get it over to the stairway and then toss it into the living room. Not an easy thing for a cat to do. She found an aluminum pie pan somewhere and frisbied it from the top step. It lit in front of the recliner chair downstairs. —O'TILL NEXT week...
