Carl and Maude SQUIRES bought
Ralston’s Drugstore east of the bank. They stopped selling prescription drugs but
continue operating a soda fountain and selling stationery, school
supplies, tonics, counter drugs and sundries. They sold the
business in 1946. (Source - Chronology of the early settlers of White Breast Township and
