When a homesick G.I. longs for something "as American as the corner drugstore," the odds are five to one that the store he is thinking of is a Rexall store. And the odds are going down. Last week the United-Rexall Drug Inc., biggest in the U.S., floated a new $11,000,000 stock issue. With the proceeds, United will buy the 19-store Renfro chain in Texas (for $1,200,000), will enlarge and remodel the 541 stores it already has as well as some of the 10,000 affiliated Rexall druggists...
...Hinshaw's great fear: that thousands of TB victims will beg for treatment at once, that thousands more will postpone urgently needed therapy in the expectation that streptomycin will cure them day after tomorrow. It will not-for the drug, a distant relative of penicillin, is exceedingly scarce (cost: $24 to $50 a patient a day), and the results, however promising, do not yet warrant its widespread use.

Shortages are just short of dangerous...
...been a private palace, the Jockey Club, the Russian Embassy, the Japanese Embassy, a dormitory for homeless newsboys, and, since 1919, the home of Sanborn's, most famous American business in Mexico. Last week the store in the old palace became the 416th link in the Walgreen drug chain. In its first venture outside the U.S., Walgreen's paid $2,500,000 to Ohio-born Frank Sanborn, 76, for the drugstore he founded 43 years ago with...
Frank Sanborn had first startled the Mexican drug business by refusing to pay doctors a percentage on prescriptions he filled. His next innovation: an American soda fountain. By 1919, when Sanborn's moved to the Casa de Azulejos, it had become a favorite gathering place for Mexicans and American tourists alike...
