Nome Drug Store Dates From First
Discovery Of Gold at Nome, Alaska
—
In Nome, Alaska, J. G. McDou.
gall, who operates the Nome!
Drug Store, is a member of the
Squibb Plan. Although no Squibb
representative calls on him and
no installation company decorates
his windows with Squibb dis
plays, he can show many other
druggists a thing or two about
selling Squibb Products. His to.
tal sales so far this year are up
30 per cent over 1935 and his
Squibb sales have had an even
greater increase.
The Nome Drug Store dates
from the first discovery of gold
in Alaska and the establishment
of the City of Nome. This was
in 1900 and Dr. E. E. Hill himself
>
a strong Squibb Products man
even in those early Nome days,
was the proprietor.
“I succeeded Dr. Hill in operat
ing the store in 1912 while still
in my ’teens,” Mr. McDougall
wrote in response to the Retail,
er’s questions about the “North
ern Outpost’ and its owner. “It
might be interesting to note that
the Alaska Pharmacy Law per.
mits a person not yet twenty-one
years old to be licensed as a Reg.
istered Pharmacist. That was all
my fault.
‘Tn 1918 the bugles blew and I
did not return to Nome until ’34
when the Nome Drug Store was
I again established after the disas
(terous fire of that year. The sup_
• port accorded us by the good peo
j pie of Nome indicated we should
have brought Squibb’s Northern
Outpost back sooner.”
I Nome is a highly cosmopolitan
] city and the stock carried by the
store is much the same as that in
'any pharmacy in the United Sta
tes. There is a side line, however,
of prospectors, miners and assay,
ers supplies which gives to the
Nome Drug Store a distinctly Al
askan touch.
Druggists who can telephone in
the morning for an item and re.
' ceive it at the latest the follow
I
ing day, may realize how fortun.
ate they are when they consider
Mr. MeDougall’s situation.
“Buying is indeed a problem,” I
he writes. “There is no transpor
tation for seven months, naviga
tion being closed from November
1st until June 15th. Airplanes
operate all winter, but the cost
of transportation by plane—50
cents a pound—is prohibitive ex.!
ccpt in emergencies.
"It is necessary to order in
September for the whole winter
and believe me, this winter order
is a skull-cracking job. The fine
help given us by the Squibb
branch in Seattle in the efficient!
stocking of Squibb Products is a
comfort both to ourselves and
our customers on this last fron.
tier.”

from the October issue of “The
Squibb Retailer,” published in
New York.
