Guthrie-Jones Drug Store Observes Its 20th Anniversary This Month This month Guthrie-Jones Drug store. Beaufort, observes its 20th anniversary. In January 1941 two enterprising young men, both fresh from Crowe’s School of Pharmacy in At lanta, Ga., decided to enter the drug business as partners. The pair, Clarence Guthrie and David Jones, had been born and reared in Beaufort, attended Beaufort high school and both had worked at Bell’s Drug store. Their first venture into the drug dispensing business world was- a drug store in New Bern. That last ed a short while. They closed the store only eight weeks after its opening and moved it to Beaufort. The first Guthrie-Jones drug store was located in the building now occupied by Dora’s Dinette. The store remained there until 1949 when the firm moved into its present location across the street from Ramsey Wholesale grocery. In achieving 20 years of service to the people of Beaufort and Car teret county, Guthrie-Jones Drug store has exemplified the high standard of excellence and accur acy maintained by their profession throughout the country. As in any community, their business has be come an integral and vital part of the lives of the people it serves. The present Guthrie-Jones store offers its customers the very latest in convenience and drug needs. Prescriptions (half a million so far) are filled accurately and promptly, with professional care, and the store’s stock of sundries and notions is as complete as any that can be found. Add to this the attractiveness of a clean and modern building and you have the ingredients of a suc cessful drug store, a store that this year celebrates 20 years of service and looks forward to an other challenging and promising 20 years.
