  JOHN BEUTER, a prosperous and successful pharmacist of Beaver Falls, Pa.,
  whose portrait is shown on the opposite page, wants it distinctly understood
  that he is a Republican of the deepest dye, and always has affiliated with
  that party ever since he was old enough to vote. He has been one of its most
  active members in Beaver county, and was one of the three Republican
  delegates to the state convention, held in Harrisburg, in 1898, and the only
  one of the three from Beaver county, who supported William A. Stone for
  governor, and had the satisfaction of seeing his man not only nominated, but
  elected.
  
  John Beuter was born January 29, 1860, and is a son of John and Pauline
  (Tyfel) Benter. His father was a native of Germany, and came to America with
  his parents when but twelve years of age. He located in Wheeling, West
  Virginia, where he followed the retail liquor business for a period of forty
  years. He laid down the burden of life, in 1894, and entered into rest.
  
  John Beuter received his scholastic training in the public schools and
  afterward attended St. Vincent's College in Wheeling, - from which he
  graduated. After leaving college, young Beuter entered the employ of Logan
  List & Co., wholesale and retail druggists of Wheeling, and remained with
  that firm for a period of eight years. He then took a course in the
  Philadelphia College of Pharmacy in the autumns of 1879, 1880 and 1881. As
  these courses included only the fall months, he improved his unoccupied time
  by taking a special course in chemistry in the University of Pennsylvania.
  
  After he became a full-fledged pharmacist, he took charge of the laboratory
  of the wholesale drug business of Bailey & Porter, of Zanesville, Ohio.
  Leaving Zanesville, he went to Pittsburg, where he entered the employ of
  George A. Kelley & Co., having com-

  plete charge of their second floor shipping department, where he remained for
  a short period. He then went to Beaver Falls, and was for some time a clerk
  for W. H. Hamilton. On seeing an opportunity to better his condition, he went
  to Pittsburg and took charge of the Twenty-fourth street drug store of Emil G.
  Stookey, - the same business now being conducted by N. B. Stookey. Mr. Beuter
  remained there until 1894, and then went into the drug business for himself
  at 619 Seventh avenue, Beaver Falls, where he conducts a first-class drug
  store.
  
  In connection with his regular line of drugs, he is the patentee and
  manufacturer of the celebrated medicine known as "No-Dys-Pep" compound,
  having a large sale throughout the country.
  
  The subject of this biography won for his bride, Hattie W. Hays, daughter of
  Charles Hays, of New Brighton, Pennsylvania. Mrs. Beuter has a kind and sweet
  disposition and is a great favorite in all classes of society. She is well and
  favorably known throughout Beaver county. Mr. Beuter is a member of the
  Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, of Rochester, Pa.; of Beaver Falls
  Lodge, No. 293, Knights of Pythias, and of Walnut Camp, No. 2, Woodmen of the
  World, of Beaver Falls.
  
  John Beuter has worked hard and earnestly, and with a determination that is
  bound to be rewarded by success. He believes in doing thoroughly everything
  that is required of him; he keeps a fine line of pure drugs for his
  customers, and also makes a specialty of filling prescriptions with
  promptness and care.
