—~ ee ae Tween Ser es ee ees TO FORMA UNION They View with Alarm the New $10,000,000 Merger of Drug Stores. FALK ISSUES APPEAL. Officer of New Company Frankly Admits That the Middleman Will Have to Suffer. While the United Chemists’ Company, the new $10,000,000 retall drug store trust, has not as yet taken over full control of the Wilson stores, or others which are to Jom the merger, enough has been done to lead many drug olerks into the belief that for thelr own protection they should organiza a union, 8. Falk, Ph. G., of No. 123 Bast One Hundred and Sixteenth street, has is- aued a appeal to his brother pharma- cists, urging them to organize before it fs too late, and pointing out tht if the drug store trust becomes an sccom- plished fact, the phararacist must per- manently accept the position of small salaried olerk to a soulless corporation, for he never can hope to own a business of his own, or else he must abandon his profession and take up some other Work. Discussing this phase of the sttuation to-day an officer of the projected com- dination said to an Evening World re- A Drug Store Evolution. “We are not seeking anw controversy With people who feol aggrteved at thir new merger. Nor will I consent w have my name used m the press, but the fact is that the drug store has evolved from the oki-tine ethioal phar- macy into a purely commencial institu- tton. Drug stores pay, but not because they keep the best and purest drugs and accurately compound doctors’ pre- scriptions. The success of the modern Grug store lies in the ability to buy cheaper ‘what will sell rapidly, en- @bling us to tum our capital over rapidly. Drugs form only a smal por tion of thts trade. We sell everything from ‘writing paper and face bleach, to gigmrs and athletic goods, to say noth- ing of soda fountains, which now eup- ply hot chocolate, and stamps “People will trae where they find the Most attractive collection of goods, They like to look at the pretty sun- dries while their medicines are bein: being compounded. The old-fashton ethical druggist can’t compete in this Une. Iam sorry if the drug clerks feel as Mr. Falk's letter indicates, be- cause they will be just as much needed in the big stores of the future as in the Uttle ones of the past. Middlemen WIII Suffer. “As to the future of the middlemen? Well, they will suffer. A big combina- tlon." such as the United Chemists ex- pects to be, naturally will buy direct rom the ‘manufacturer, saving the @gent's profits, -That will enable us to aeil more cheaply at retail and will Fring ue the business, a : ultimate outcome, course, will be that we manufacture certain lines of goods, the regular pharmaco- a. This will effect another big eav- Ing, but in proprietary articles, spe- olaities and things widely advertised we never can be independent of the man- ufacturer. You may say positively that ‘we do not cantemplate merging with any of the big manufacturers. “In Chicago the Ideal Drug Stores Company, organized some months ago, already operates fifty-eight stores, has options on many others and is @ great success.” Still with Cigar Company. George J. Whelan, organizer of the Drug Trust, is the man who four years ago started the Unted Cigar Stores Gompany, of which he became presi dent. It was reported that he had re. g@igned fro mthe presidency of the cigar to become president of the eoncérn, but he still does business on top floor of the Trinity pulene betind a lot f dra whse nscrptions dear the name “United Cigar Stores ‘When Mi somewhat “not at home” to re- ‘the aie te ico lot of drug stor: ey ‘ora lot o! store fronts, all to be built of one general plan and appearance.
