Few persons realize the magnitude and importance of the drug business, and to be successful in it requires that a man must have good judgment, must be careful and painstaking and must have a thorough and experienced knowledge of the calling. A man particularly worthy of note in this line is Harry Brisley, who has been a prominent and successful druggist of Prescott, Arizona, since 1888. Mr. Brisley was born in the County of Kent, England, in 1862, and received his education in a leading commercial school of the same county. After leaving school he was apprenticed for five years to the drug business in London, England, and in 1881 he came to America, where he graduated at the Chicago College of Pharmacy in 1886. After this he clerked in a drug store at Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago, for about two years, and then went to Arizona Territory for his health. He settled in Phoenix and was there permanently cured of his lung trouble. Seeing that the climate agreed with him, Mr. Brisley decided to go into business at Prescott. and having purchased a half interest in a drug store there, entered actively upon his career as a business man. A year later he purchased the entire business and it has grown to be one of the best in Northern Arizona. Mr. Brisley also owns and conducts a drug store at Jerome, the only store of the kind in the county outside of Prescott. He is a progressive, wide-awake, stirring young man and is well posted on all that pertains to his business. He is a full-fledged American citizen, having his adopted country's interests at heart. Mr. Brisley is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, also the Ancient Order of United Workmen, and has passed all the chairs in the former organization. In the year 1888 he married Miss Clara Pinchon, a native of England, and they have two children—Mabel, aged four years, and Harold R., aged eight months.
