Predict Closings of Drug Stores by 1944
In Pittsburgh on June 21 the American Pharmaceutical Association warned that a 16 percent closure rate for the nation’s 88,000 drug stores is likely by the end of 1944 due to pharmacist shortages. Seventeen percent of pharmacists are in the armed forces and pharmacy school enrollments have fallen, hindering replacements. Officers elected include President-elect John Deans and secretary treasurer Chauncey Richards, with executive members Cecil Bloom and Michael V. McFadden among others.
