BirthAug 6, 1877Raleigh, NC, USA1
Occupationcame to NYC at 19 as secretary to W. W. Fuller, then counsel of American Tobacco Co.. In 1910 he was made president of National Cigar Stands Co.. In 1914 he was associated with L. K. Leggett in the United Drug Co. and was made president of L. K. Leggett Co. In 1920, the United Drug Co. expanded and bought Boot Co. Ltd. of England, of which he was managing director in 1921. He then headed the United Drug Company.
( 1902, Lois K. Liggett persuaded 40 druggists to invest in a drug company that would manufacture and distribute products
in franchised stores. In 1903, the United Drug Company (UDC) began operations at 43 Leon Street, now known Meserve Hall at
Northeastern University. The stores and products were known by the name “Rexall,” for “king of all.” By 1929, UDC had 21
manufacturing plants throughout the United States. It employed over 25,000 workers, supplied 10,000 Rexall Drug
Stores, and operated a chain of over 500 Liggett Drug Stores in the United States. In 1944, Liggett stepped down. Justin
Dart, the new president, renamed UDC the Rexall Drug Co. and moved the headquarters to Los Angeles.2 )
