Quote from Chain Drug Review


"Amid all the happenings crowding in on each other in this hectic chain drug year, a case could be made that the No. 1 story has been the success of an independent drug store, Elephant Pharmacy of Berkeley, Calif., and of its entrepreneurial proprietor, the redoubtable Stuart Skorman."
