Reuss Pharmacy, which quiet-
ly opened for business Feb. 22,
launched its grand opening to-
day with fanfare and prizes —
plus nickel coffee which has
been featured since the doors
first were opened.
The new store, with a new
name (it was Reuss Drug Store
at the old location on East
Main), combines the old with
the new in its interior appoint-
ments.
Prizes offered visitors in the
grand opening drawing are a
color TV set, a movie camera
and two styles of clock radios.
Special money-saving prices
are in effect today through
Saturday with outstanding bar-
gains offered in a wide range
of items.
Displays in the new pharmacy
•e arranged conveniently in
spacious rows with deep carpet-
ing for easing tired shoppers'

feet. The aisles between the
displays are wide. The decor
in the shopping area is smooth-
ly modern.
But at the rear of the shop
the decor goes back to early
days.
There are marble shelves and
antique -lirrors.
Joe Reuss’ office is furnished
with an old but newiy-polished
roll-top desk, with high-backed
swivel chair to match, from the
old Kunitz Drug Store which
Reuss bought out in 1957.
A section is arranged as
permanent museum (area, with
changing items for nostalgic
viewing envisioned. The first
museum display is old-time
pharmaceutic equipment, but
Reuss plans to make tiie space
available for others with ap-
propriate historical items for
display.
A coffee corner in the back
of the store offers not only the
nickel coffee mentioned but hot
tea, cocoa and soups on a self-
serve basLs. Payment is on the
honor system, (coffee and tea
for a nickel, other items for a
dime are the suggested prices)
Reuss said it was with mixed
emotion that he has decided to
move his long established Cue-
ro store from its downtown lo-
cation.
“When the store was built
the horse and buggy were the
main means of transportation
and concentration of business
in a central area was a great
convenience. There were no
automobiles and parking space
was not a consideration.
“But today things have chang-
ed. Most shoppers drive to the
stores in their cars and if down-
town stores do not have parking
lots or parking spaces available
for their customers they drive
to outlying stores, park and do
their shopping. In our new loca-
tion we will be able to provide
ample parking space for our
patrons.
“I figure 99 years In one lo-
cation is long enough,” he con-
cluded.
