McGrail Drugstore

McGrail.jpg

The old established, thoroughly reliable and largely patronized drug store of T.H. McGrail, 346 Central Avenue, has an unrivaled reputation for excellence of goods carried, reliability of service and moderate prices. Special and decided features are pure drugs and chemicals, hospital and sick room supplies, family remedies of time tested value and the careful filling of physicians’ prescriptions. The latter is a most important branch of the business, and in this service only pure and fresh drugs are used while charges are always consistent. Toilet articles and preparations, choice confectionary, fine cigars and druggists’ sundries are also extensively dealt in, and a first-class soda fountain operated. Three capable drug clerks are employed. Mr. McGrail is a native of Roxton Falls, Canada, and was educated in the schools of Sherbrooke, Canada. He became proprietor of this widely known store in 1895, and formerly for 2 years was in the dry good business, and in the drug business as a clerk and manager of 10 years with F.C. Miville 6 years and the Dignam Drug Co. 4 years, both of Manchester. Mr. McGrail us a business man of sagacity, enterprise and progressive ideas, highly regarded commercially and personally, and is a member of the A.O.H. and B.P.O.E.
