Rexall Over 100 Years Of Caring In 1902 Louis K. Liggett persuaded 40 independent drug stores to invest $4,000 in a retailers' cooperative called United Drug Stores, which sold products under the Rexall name. After World War I, the cooperative established a franchise arrangement whereby independently owned retail outlets adopted the Rexall trade name and sold Rexall products. The company was based in Boston, Massachusetts, in an area now occupied by Northeastern University. Justin Whitlock Dart, heir to the Walgreen's drugstore chain, took control of Boston-based United Drug Company in 1943. The chain operated under the Liggett, Owl, Sonta, and Rexall brands, which Dart rebranded under the Rexall name. Rexall gained national exposure through its sponsorship of two famous classic American radio programs of the 1940s and 1950's: Amos and Andy and The Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show. Both shows were often opened by an advertisement from an announcer portraying "your Rexall family druggist," and included the catch phrase "Good health to all from Rexall." In 1946, United-Rexall Drug Inc. purchased the Renfro chain in Texas. It also launched the Owl Superstores chain. In 1958, the Rexall Drug Company was the largest U.S. drug store franchise, with 11,158 stores (for comparison, there are less than 12,000 McDonald's restaurants in the U.S. today). Time Magazine noted that 2/3 of its stores were in areas where 1/3 of the population lived. However, this comprised more than 20% of all drug stores in the United States. Dart sold his stake in Rexall in 1978. Dart had acquired stakes in West Bend, Duracell, Hobart, Tupperware, Ralph Wilson Plastics, and Archer Glass, which were collectively known as Dart Industries (later Premark International).

First I normally only do natural photos, but this "collage" seems to have taken on a life of its own and is evolving into some sort of post Mao -societal social commentary of sorts. This is still a work in progress with probably much more still to be done... Version 1: Boring Forbidden City Shot with lots of Tourists Version 2: Tourists almost all gone, added contrast and color intensity Version 3: Ocean, where did that ocean come from? Oh, and the Sanya Sky too! Storm as a bonus... Version 4: McDonalds are everywhere... Version 5: The "Temple of Heaven Woman in Red" decided to visit here (from her photo about a dozen later in my photostream)... Might have to see on slideshow mode to really see her... Version 6: Added a badly needed KFC franchise, some bystanders on a bench (see original photo elsewhere) and of course need some Monks! Version 7: Well of course we needed a Pizza Hut didn't we? Its so much tastier in China (not in America). One can always use more monks. We also invited some more friends to drop over, including an athletic bear, and a beautiful kitty. Oh, and what emperor could have a home without some Mao Tai? Version 8: I still think some giraffes may be needed here... :) Version 9: Wow, the Vancouver Kissing Couple even made it here too. Amazing they could concentrate with all those monks and all that fast food nearby...
