A Confidence repeated Million Times E. R. SQUIBB & SONS, MANUFACTURERS OF FINE PHARMACEUTICALS FOR OVER 100 YEARS, RECENTLY PRESENTED AN AWARD TO HOOK'S DRUGS FOR FILLING NINE MILLION PRESCRIPTIONS. A. F. "BUD" HOOK, PRESIDENT; EDWARD J. F. ROESCH, VICE- PRESIDENT, AND HAROLD BASHORE, DRUG BUYER, RECEIVE THE AWARD FROM ARTHUR J. LONGPRES, DIRECTOR OF TRADE RELATIONS FOR E. R. SQUIBB & SONS. THIS AWARD SYMBOLIZES HOOK'S 58 YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF INDIANA. If you are sick ... it is always now ... never later. You see your doctor. He finds the trouble, and sends you to the drugstore. You have a slip of paper. It tells the pharmacist the kind of medicine you need. He asks you to wait a few minutes, not long. Then he returns with your medicine, exactly what your doctor wanted you to have. In a few days, you are well again. In Hook's Drug Stores, this has happened 9 MILLION TIMES. For thus keeping the confidence of the medical profession, the men who keep you well and comfortable, Hook's Drugs has received a treasured citation from E. R. Squibb & Sons, as a mark of unwavering trust. When John A. Hook, a young pharmacist, felt a need for a drugstore to fill the medical needs of his community at fair prices, he put his integrity into the filling of his prescriptions. A few years later, he was joined by a young man of like mind and character, Edward F. Roesch, and as a dedicated team, they founded the Hook Drug Stores. Because they were more in service than self, their drugstores multiplied as they moved closer to the neighborhoods, to make it easier and faster to get needed medicine. Hook's Drug Stores stand for the same unvarying service and quality today as it did the day John A. Hook and Edward F. Roesch decided to start their stores so well known through Indiana. The filling of your medical needs, as ordered by your doctor, comes first at Hook's. All of the executives, from A. F. (Bud) Hook, the president, and Edward J. F. Roesch, vice president, sons of the founders, on down, are pharmacists. And through the stores, there are 118 registered pharmacists who put your health first, and fill, with the faith of the founders, the prescriptions your doctors write. Hook's humbly accepts the E. R. Squibb Award, with gratitude to the doctors and their nine million patients, who have put their faith in our ability and integrity. This, we pledge, will never change. DEPENDABLE DRUG STORES
