         J. P. SCHAAF & CO.
Dealers in Drugs, Chemicals, Toilet Articles,
Cigars, Tobacco, Paints, Oils and Glass.

A Model Pharmacy, Up to Date in All Departments.
Under Enterprising Management.

   Humanity is heir to so many ills even in a country
noted for its healthfulness that the drug business
is an important feature of a city's commercial life.
This branch of trade is represented in Toronto by
the firm of Schaaf & Co. in a manner that is above
adverse criticism, and their establishment is in 
keeping with the stores of the same kind in the
larger cities. The salesroom occupied is 22x60 feet
in size, and the fittings as well as the arrangement
of the goods handled give a metropolitan appearance
to the establishment. The stock embraces a full line
of pure and fresh drugs, chemicals and reliable
proprietary remedies, also toilet articles, perfumes,
stationery, cigars and tobacco. An extensive line of
paints, oils and glass is also included in the varied
assortment of goods usually found in a store of this
kind. The prescription department is in charge of
the junior member of the firm, Mr. Finnley, who is
a registered pharmacist of experience and skill. The
careful compounding of prescriptions with fresh and
pure drugs is a specialty of the business.
   J. P. Schaaf is a native of illinois, but having
lived in Kansas since the age of two years may
justly lay claim to being a true son of the Sunflower
state. He was reared and educated in Burlington, 
Coffey county, and prior to embarking in the drug
business in this city in 1895 was one of the 
successful farmers of that county. In politics he is
a democrat, but allows the active work of his party
to devolve upon those whose business duties are less
confining than his. He is a Woodman, and in fraternal,
business and social circles is classed among the
representative citizens of this community.
   Thos. Finley was born in Indiana, and came to 
Wilson county, Kansas, in 1868. Like his business
partner he was reared and educated here. He learned
the drug business in the store of F. M. Robertson,
in Coffyville, with whom he remained until engaging
in business for himself. He is a republican and is
a member of the city council of this municipality.
He is a Woodman and a citizen of of standing and
prominence. Since the store was established by
these two gentlemen in 1895 they have built up an
extensive trade and gained a deserved prestige by
enterprising and honorable business methods.
