| TEXT | The well known firm of Henry K. Wampole& Co., manufacturing chemists and wholesale importers of druggists' sundries, glassware, etc., was established in 1872. The firm lias large offices and a store at No. 135 Arch street, and a laboratory at No. 441 Green street, thoroughly equipped with all the latest modern appliances. The members of the firm are Henry K. Wanipolc, Albert J. Koch and Samuel Ross Campbell. Mr. Wampole is a native of Philadelphia, and has been in the drug business all his life. Mr. Campbell is an expert chemist, and was one of the originators of the College of
Pharmacy, one of the best institutions of its kind in the city. For the past five years the firm have devoted special attention to the preparation of and manufacture of pharmaceutical specialties. This branch of the business being under the personal supervision of Mr. Samuel Campbell, and it has grown with marvellous rapidity. The business now occupies the attention of a large number of salesmen on the road, covering the whole of the United States. The firm has also a branch in Toronto, Canada, and extensive business relations in South America. They also make a full line of fluid extracts, elixirs and pharmaceutical preparations. Among the most noted and valuable of the latter are a tasteless preparation of cod liver oil, compound syrup of hypophosphites, hvpnobromic compound, granular effervescent bromo-pyrine, and, more especially, Wampole's Glycerine Suppositories, which are 98 per cent, of chemically pure glycerine placed in glass tubes, assuring cleanliness and absolute protection from heat and moisture, and guaranteed non-irritating. These, however, are but a few of the specialties which are furnished by this enterprising young firm, and they are being continually added to by the research and activity of Mr. Campbell and his associates. The business has grown to such an extent that it has exceeded all the most sanguine expectations of its originators, and it is now one of the most sterling and highly esteemed concerns of its kind in the city of Philadelphia. The three partners have worked hard to achieve the great success they have so quickly attained, and they are now on the high road to wealth as a just reward of their industry, energy, and general business competency. The business is a peculiar one, and absolutely requires that personal supervision and constant attention which Messrs. Wampole & Co. have given to it. |
