Pharmacist Retains Private
Ownership, Handles New Drug Line
Tomorrow morning the newly remodeled Lipscomb Phar
macy located at the North Gate will open a Walgreen Agency
Drug Store. This store becomes one of nearly 2,000 individ
ually owned drug stores throughout the country which han
dle the products of the Walgreen Co. and offer service sim
ilar to that provided by the Walgreen Co. in their own
500 odd stores.
, The Lipscomb Pharmacy con
tract with the Walgreen Company
for Walgreen products and serv
ices, does not involve Walgreen
Company ownership or operation.
This store is entirely independent
ly home-owned and operated. The
rearranging of the store was plan
ned by the Construction Service
of the Walgreen Agency Depart
ment.
The store has been completely
departmentized. Some of the more
important departments of the store
include tobacco, toiletries, drug,
hospital supplies, prescription and
fountain. The fountain department
features complete food service.
In commenting upon the store’s
connection with the Walgreen Co.,
Lipscomb goes on to say, “Besides
the great value of the services
which our store will receive as a
result of this contract, the value
to the people of College Station,
which access to the tremendous
number of products and merchan
dising service brings, is beyond
any accurate estimate. More than
1300 products covering a wide
range in the drug and cosmetic
fields are manufactured in the
Walgreen Co. laboratories in Chi
cago. In this manner the public
has definite assurance from the
greatest name in the drug business
that the product offered is fresh,
efficient, pure and properly de
scribed.
“The advantage in prices are
also most important. We intend to
follow an aggressive merchandis
ing program that will bring Met
ropolitan center prices to the peo
ple of College Station. We are cer
tain that our connections, combined
with excellent service and honest
values, will bring many more and
better values to this community.
We wish to call especial attention
to our grand opening one cent
sale and sincerely invite all to at
tend it. We know that the opening
of this fine new drug store will be
an event of more than ordinary

AUSTIN, April 15.—Announc
ing the distribution of occupational
questionnaires (Form 311) to men
who registered on February 16,
General J. Watt Page, State Se
lective Service Director, urged that

Special Graduation
CINCINNATI, O.—(AGP)—For
the first time in its history the
University of Cincinnati held a
special wartime graduation April
10 for a large portion of the col
lege of engineering and commerce
senior class.
The early graduation released
180 seniors for service in the armed
forces and in industrial defense
work nearly two months in ad-
ing distributed to February 16
registrants by their local boards,
later will be sent to registrants of
the First and Second Registrations
and those of future registrations,
General Page said. Its purpose is
an inventory of the present em
ployment activities of registrants
and of their skills and abilities. It
has no connection with, and is not
to be confused with the regular
Selective Service Questionnaire
(Form 40) which is sent to all
registrants to obtain data on which
Selective Service classification is
based, General Page emphasized.
The data obtained through the
occupational questionnaire, Gen
eral Page said, will be forwarded
through State Headquarters to the
National Roster of Scientific and
Specialized Personnel and to the
United States Employment Ser
vice. It will be used by these fed
eral agencies, respectively, to lo
cate persons with certain profes
sional and scientific qualifications
and those who have skills or apti
tudes in critical or essential oc
cupations for the ultimate purpose
of achieving a more complete and
