Notes:

In 1886, Dr. McIntyre sold out the drug business to Alex. G. McBean whom I remember quite well, and he continued until 1891 and then sold to Wesley M. Kirkland. And in that same year or the year after, Mr. John Phin bought the property from Ventry Conway as an investment. Mac. was a tall, well built athletic man, always wearing a smile and in business, very wide awake. He knew all the kids by their first names and all the kids were special friends of his.

Just a dandy fine fellow.

As John Zryd had done before him, he soon came to realize that he was not getting enough farm trade because the farmers were buying their drugs in the larger towns around.

So he had himself made hundreds of tin boxes, 61/2 x 61/2 inches, three inches thick, with a nice hinged lid which were labelled on the outside

"McBean's Family Medicine Chest."

Pasted to the inside of the lid where it could be seen when the lid was lifted he had another label showing the contents of the box and the price of each item. This is a copy:

Pain Killer 25 cents

Cough Syrup 25 cents

Worm Syrup 25 cents

Soothing Syrup 25 cents

Lightning Oil 25 cents

Healing Salve 25 cents

Liver Pills 25 cents

Condition Powders 25 cents

Toothe Ache Drops 10 cents

Castor Oil 10 cents

Court Plaster 5 cents

These Medicine Chests were put into houses far and near without charge or obligation. When anything they contained was needed the householder took it out and used it, and periodically McBean's man would come around and refill the Chest and collect at scheduled rates for the items that had been taken out. I was told that an amazing amount of business was developed by this plan.

Notes:

Death of James Phin, Esq., of Kennaquhair, Waterloo.

This aged gentleman passed away on Monday last in his 88th year.

For many years Mr. Phin occupied a prominent position in the active life of, this county, as an agriculturist, politician, and leader in the social improvements demanded as the years rolled by. But although living to what may be called a great age, Mr. Phin for many years was a strong man and was reluctantly compelled to relinquish his active assistance to projects which he deemed useful to the people amongst whom he lived and the Province of his adoption. For many years possessed of great wealth, he was able to indulge in the ease his health, demanded, and at the same time surrounded himself with the literature which his active mind demanded.

Mr. Phin leaves two sons who are well known in this section, being prominent as farmers and also in municipal and business concerns of this and adjoining Counties. Mr. John Phin, long associated with the conservative party in this Riding, was on one occasion its standard bearer for the Provincial Legislature, and though then defeated, won the respect of all shades of the electorate and has since been foremost in promoting the welfare of the party in the Riding. Mr. James Phin, the other son, is also widely known, being a prominent member of the liberal party, and also in the municipal record of the Township in which he lives, having been its Deputy-Reeve at one time and for the last two years its Reeve. Both brothers are prominent Agriculturalists and are also Directors on the Board of the Guelph and Ontario Loan and Investment Society of Guelph. Mrs. (Sheriff) Scarfe, of Brantford, is a daughter of the gentleman whose death we now chronicle.

Mr. Phin's funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon to Hespeler cemetery, and was attended by an immense concourse of his old friends and friends of the family from all sections of the Province.
