rays Rexall Drug Is announced
this week by Mrs. Jim (Mary
Ellen) Myers, who, with her
husband, owned the store since
buying It from Mr. and Mrs. Phil
Blakney in July, 1961.
Serious Illness of Myers who
underwent a major operation in
January In Portland and is still
under treatment at the Veter
ans hospital In that city, was
the reason for selling the store,
Since Phil's Pharmacy adjoins
the recently-expanded Murrays

space to the store, Mr. and Mrs.
Murray said. Prescription serv
ice will be moved to one loca
tion, the new center Just now
being completed in the south
ern section of the store.
Other goods will be sold from
the Phil's Pharmacy location as
at present, and the fountain al
so will be maintained there.
Plans call for alterations at a
later time to provide or an arch
way between the addition and
the space that was acquired
last year by Murrays with the
purchase of the Red and White
store. This is now the gift cen
ter portion of the store.
Eventually the fountain may

gratitude to those who have glv
en them their support during the
time they have been here and
for the acts of kindness shown
since Jim's Illness. She said that
the two stores have worked In
friendly cooperation, although
in competition, and that it was
the Mvers' wish to sell to the
Murrays In the knowledge that'
they would make a fine, com
plete drug store for the area.
Mr. and Mrs. Murray said
that they plan to offer the most
modern store possible and ex
pect to offer their goods at
prices competitive with those
elsewhere.
