Pharmacy Shows Relics In 75-year-old Store
With the drug store of three-quarters of a century ago as a model, the School of Pharmacy began work yesterday on their exhibit for the celebration of the University's Seventy-fifth Anniversary in June.
A myriad of equipment used by the pharmacists 75 years ago will be assembled for the model drug store. Original fixtures from the old Woodward and company drug store, the first drug store in Lawrence and one of the first, if not the first, drug stores in Kansas, will be used in the display. Walnut side shelves from the store will be filled with the old drug bottles used by the Woodward store in the exhibit being constructed in room 201, Bailey Chemical Laboratories. The Woodward drug store is now the Round Corner drug store at Eighth and Massachusetts streets.
Prescription Books, Too
In addition the old prescriptions books from the Woodward store will be on display and urbs, paints and other drugs used 75 years ago will
A collection of rare lod mortars used in early Kansas, including a 425-year-old Italian mortar will be shown in the exhibit. Other drug store equipment in the exhibit includes hand blown glassware, fancy hand-painted ointment jars, and balances used by the pharmacists of that time.
Old Beauty on Display
Drug stores of 75 years ago were not entirely dark and musty smelling establishments. Beautiful show globes, with hand cut designs and filled with colored liquids were placed in the drugggists' windows to signify that prescriptions were filled in the store.
Several of these globes will be displayed in the exhibit.
Coronado Show To Go On Road
The pageant of the Coronado Entrada and Kansas Cavalcade will be presented in four Kansas towns during the summer with Lyons, Pittsburg, Salina, and Lawrence as hosts.
Lyons, the home of Paul Jones, head of the Coronado commission, will have the Entrada May 29 for a three-day run. It will then move to Lawrence, June 5 and 6, where it will be given in connection with the Seventy-fifth Anniversary celebration of the University. Salina will show the Entrada early in July, and Pittsburg has not yet announced a date for its celebration.
Chamber of Commerce in Wichita and Kansas City will decide in the near future whether to present the show in those towns. However, the presentation at Lawrence will be the only show of its kind in this vicinity.
