| TEXT | The establishment of which, Messrs. Lawrence & Co. are the enterprising proprietors, is without exception one of the finest drug stores in the city. The business was originally founded by the famous Helmbold, known the world over for his enterprise in successfully introducing Buchu and other widely advertised remedies. To him succeeded Mr. George J. Wenck, the well known perfumer, and he again by Messrs. Hunt & Dunlap, who were bought out by the present proprietors, Messrs. Lawrence & Co., in June, 1884. As to location and class of trade, this store has always held a representative position in the metropolis. It is up town what Hudnut's is down town, a favorite with the best people, and who are large and steady buyers. It was formerly located under the Gilsey House, and it was thus situated when, in 1876, Hunt & Dunlap obtained control of it. In December, 1883, it was removed to its present unsurpassed location in Wallack's Theatre Building. Here Messrs. Lawrence & Co. occupy one of the finest stores in the city. The fixtures and showcases are elegant and got up in good taste, harmonizing with the general fine effect. Every possible appliance and convenience is at hand, inclusive of an artistically designed fountain for mineral and soda waters. The stock is large and complete, embracing a full line of drugs and medicines of every description, together with a complete assortment of all the standard patent medicines. Special attention is given to the accurate compounding of physicians' prescriptions, and a fine trade in this important branch is the principal feature of the concern, while in toilet articles and perfumery, combining everything of foreign and domestic preparation and manufacture, we have rarely seen a stock equal to this. Mr. Lawrence, the enterprising head of the firm, is a gentleman widely known and esteemed both in pharmaceutical circles and by the best classes of the community. He has had vast practical experience, and it is sufficient to add that he was connected with Caswell, Hazard & Co., as their manager, for eight years. As we before remarked, the custom of this establishment is from the best classes of people in New York and vicinity. Its situation is unrivalled, while the head of the firm is such an experienced and widely known member of the professional community, that a permanent success has been assured to this house from its very start under his proprietorship. |
