procession of autos followed the

Very little is known of Mr.
Kurth’s early life, as all his per
sonal effects and records were

1934. However, it is learned
thru friends that he was born in
Missouri and was 65 years of age

Nome Drug Store
Northern Outpost
Of Squibb Plans
(Continued From Page One)
for the moment.
Nome, at one time in the path
of a gold rush that brought a
wave of humanity numbering
many thousands, has 1500 resi
dents. But it is still the center
of adventure-land of North Am
erica. The transients who enter
the Nome Drug Store, while not
as numerous, are just as cosmo
politan as they are at the “Cross
roads of the World” in New York
In meeting the requirements of
his customers who in a single
day may include Eskimos, an
Eastern party of big game hun
ters, geological explorers, air
minded adventurers, members of
the crew of a Russian sealer, tour
ists and travelers from “the Sta
tes.” Mr. McDougall as a Squibb
Distributor long ago found that
Squibb Products received widest
recognition and prompt accept
ance. He tried out the Concen
tration idea and it went over in
a big way.
Naturally, the proposition oi
Squibb Plan membership, submit
ted by Elmer J. McGuire, Pacific
Coast Branch Manager, looked
good to Mr. McDougall and the
the very next mail steamer out
of Nome brought his Subscriber’s
Agreement and a check.
The Nome Drug Store has the
additional distinction of being
the only Squibb Plan Member
which is not contacted personally
by a Squibb Salesman. But Mr.
McGuire has made a special
study of Alaska sailings and Mr.
McDougall’s merchandise require
ments.
Accordingly, that depressing
"just out of that” is never heard
by a Squibb customer at this
Northern Outpost of Pharmacy*
That’s another kind of a record
when you consider that taking
the entire year, there are more
se: vice-hazards between far-away
Nome and the nearest Squibb
source of supply in Seattle and
San Francisco than exist in our
service-relations with any other
account. Another case w'here:
, “Distance lends enchantment.”
