  	Edgar Beger had the Rexall Drugs franchise in Kitchener and seemed to be running a successful business but within months of this photo he left pharmaceuticals to become a bond salesman. Soon the corner bore a Liggett's Drugstore sign and became a downtown landmark at King and Young from 1929 until the late 1940s. Next to Beger's is the J. Preeter and Son dry goods and ladies wear shop occupying the second of Lippert's King Street storefronts. Its site became part of Liggett's within a year.1a 1arych Mills 2015
