H. G. "Dock" Damcron is ac customed to smiting but with the grand opening of Damcron Drugs * comes realization of what most : pharmacists dream about for a 1 lifetime. Damcron isn't new to the drug 1 business in Tabor City. He has 1 operated Damcron Drugs here ' since 1947. j1 A graduate of the University 1 of North Carolina School of Phar- ' macy in 1944. he first went to ' Elkin and worked as a pharmacist ' for Turner Drug Company. In ' 1945 he went to work with Lane Drug Store in Wilmington and ] remained there until 1946 when!, he moved to Tabor City. He be came sole owner of what was then Prince Drug Company, own ed and operated by J. Oliver , Princeof Tabor City, in 1947. | Active in civic affairs and j | loyal to local athletics. Damcron; quickly found a place for him self in the community. He serv- , ed a two - year stint as town! coinmisioncr from 1953-55. Then he stepped up to the top citi-"|, /.ens job in 1955 and served for1, two years as Mayor. Much pro gress was noted during Damer-i, on's tenure as Mayor. lii'ing a pharmacist hasn't al- ' ways been "Doc's" ambition ι Early in life he decided he would j be an engineer with the inten-j tion of staying far away from the Ifield of medicine. His father, the1 late De. Ε. ϊ-ec Dameron of Star.. A'.C . was a doctor and the ami-, abel young pharmacist noted he1 wasn't interested in working all, 1 hours of the night. But it lurn-j ed out that "Doc" swapped thel· daylight for sunshine because il isn't uncommon for him to get up two or three times during the'' night to fill prescriptions for: people. He has his own philosophvj about getting up at night to fill; prescriptions. "The day I can't get up for'ι someone who is sick then that'si, the day I'm gonna' quit!" saidj Dameron. Tis civic work here has in-n eluded holding offices in the Ta-| bor City Civitan Club, currently|( serving as president of the Co lumbus County Drug Association, former vice-president of the ( Drug Association, member of the County Board of Health since < 1951. head of Red Cross drives. ] March of Dimes drives, helped to organize the Tabor City Booster's · Club, director of the Tabor City Merchants Association and many other activities He is maried to the former ι I.ois Odom of Coats. N. C. They!, were maried in 1945 and have | three children. Frank. Richard. , and Phyllis. Dameron has a right to smile . about his new drug store build ing. It is one of the most mod- ; crnistic in the state and is call-!i ed a great asset to the town by ; residents of the community. I "I'll have more room for bet- « er displays of merchandise aiull he modcrnisitic design will keep ι he drug store up to date with changes for the next 25 years." , ;aid Dameron. The building is 32x72 feet!j lownstairs with a 12x32 office j pace upstairs. Contractors fori he building were Burns and' ■'ipps, general contractors; heal-! ng. plumbing and wiring was ^ lone by McGougan Electric Com- j lany; Sarvis Plumbing Company lid the plumbing: and the floor :overing was done by W F.
