        ALLEN STANWIX HAY. It would be a long time to go back to find the 
beginning of the knowledge that in certain gums, barks and herbs existed 
curative properties for human ills, but this knowledge descended to yet more 
enlightened ages, when chemistry tested their properties and discovered and 
developed combinations that now we call drugs, the intelligent use of which is 
beneficent beyond expression. The old-time physicians and druggists, with
medicaments of curious and sometimes repellent composition, have passed away,
and the modern dealer in drugs is a responsible individual whose scientific
training has elevated his business to a profession. One of the representative
business men in this line at Jacksonville is ALLEN STANWIX HAY, who has been a
resident of Florida since he was ten years old.
	Mr. Hay was born at Leeds, England, July 22, 1876, and at the age of
ten years became a resident of Florida, where his interests have been centered
ever since.
	After completing the public school course Mr. Hay became a clerk in a 
drug store at Jacksonville, and continued in this line until he had thoroughly 
learned the business. He then turned his attention for a time in another 
direction and showed his versatility by learning the printer’s trade, with 
which he was connected until 1902, at which time he was ready to embark in 
business for himself. He opened his present retail drug store at 901 Kingston 
Avenue, Jacksonville, where he has continued ever since. He handles all 
standard drugs and drug sundries, and maintains all the pleasant features now 
found all over the country in first-class drugstores, and as a responsible,
reliable business man, commands the respect and enjoys the confidence of the
community.
	Mr. Hay married in March, 1916, Miss ELIZABETH SMITH, who was born at 
Roanoke, Virginia, and they have two sons: ALLEN STANWIX, Jr., and WILLIAM B. 
Mr. and Mrs. Hay are members of the Episcopal Church. He is a thirty-second 
degree Mason and Shriner and belongs to Solomon Lodge, F. and A. M.; 
Jacksonville Chapter, R. A. M.; Damascus Commandery, K. T.; Florida Consistory, 
and Morocco Temple, Mystic Shrine. Both he and wife are members of the Eastern 
Star.
