THIS BOY SEEMS TO HAVE TIMELY FORM OF FORTUNE (By Jack â€"OToole) Moisley Ball ALLâ€"GOODS ABDBVERTIS: ED â€"ON THESEâ€"PXGES FOR SALE BV MOTSLE Y â€"BALL The milling of gold in the Porcupine represents gq large part of employment here. In other cities throughout the world, a different kind of milling gives employment to highly trained menâ€" that of grinding, milling and refining many natural products that go into the manufacture of chemicals and drugs. The process in the preparation of drugs is strangely parallel to that used in the gold mining industry. One represents the flow of a product that keeps the health of the world right. The other represents the flow of a product that keeps the modern econoâ€" mic system moving. A recent article by A. F. Robertson in the Merck Report tells something of "Drug Milling." Extracts from this work follow: Milling of Drug on Line of Gold Milling Many Similarities Between Processes forâ€" Refining Gold and Refining Chemâ€" icals. When he was a fully fledged drugâ€" gist, he.took a job with George â€"Gerrie, who ran a drug store near the city hall in Hamilton. There he was in the preâ€" scription department and had his first responsible experience at deciphering those peculilar marks doctors write on little pieces of paper. He met his partâ€" nerâ€"toâ€"be in Toronto in the fall of ‘22 and started to work in the Timmins store of the Todd chain late in Octoâ€" ber of that year. In January of 1923 he was sent out to manage the South Porâ€" cupine store arnd remained there until September of 1924, when he was brought in to the Schumacher head ofâ€" fice to manage things from that end. In February of 1925 he joined the staff of the Timmins store and was there wkhen it became Moisley and Ball on March 16th of the following year. Both Service Club Members Both partners have gone their share in the building up of Timmins from another angle. Mr. Moisley has been a member of the Kiwanis Club since 1931 and is at present president of the club. In the sphere of ‘soys‘ work he is proâ€" minent. In addition to being district viceâ€"president of Ontario Boys‘ Work Board, supervising Trail Ranger and Tuxis work in a wide area in the North, he has given frsely of his time to aid the Kiwanis ‘boys‘ programmes. The Trail Rangers and Tuxis camp at Nighthawk lake has been the goal of one scheme he has seen through to a successful conclusion. Mr. Ball was a member of the Kiâ€" wanis Club from 1924 to 1930 when the growing business forced him to give up his membership. Last year, however, he returned to service club work when it was sugszested that a Lions Club be formed here. He was one of the prime movers in the preâ€"organization days of the club and was selected as its first president, a position he still holds. As chairman of the group committee of the Mattagami Scouts, he has returned to an old love for work among boys, for years ago in Barrieé, he was Scoutâ€" master of "FrankSmith‘s Own Scouts," a group that received wide recognition and once took second prize in a Scout rally at the Canadian National Exhiâ€" bition in ‘Toronto. Ball mills, much similar in design to those used in ore milling processes, are sometimeés lined with porcelain to avoid contamination from metal. Pulverizers are of various types and are capable of producing fine powders of 80 to 300 mesh. : The life of a drug miller is not happy one, Mr. Robertson admits. Some: things gum up the â€"machines; some, like, nux vomica, gre very difficult to grind; adulteration «must wbe very â€" carefully, guarded against. brief descriptions of some of them: Bulhr mills have two specially cut circular stone discs, face to face, one fixed and the other rotating against it. The wellâ€"broken drug (or whole, if a small seed) is fed through a hole in the centre and .ground between the stones as it pass*s outwards toward the cirâ€" cumference where it is discharged. Chasers (no connection with a party) â€" have two wide stone or iron wheels econnected by a horiszsontal axle which: is rotated by a vertical shaft attached to its centre, thus causing the wheels to slowly chase each other around and around on a flat pan. The material is gradually reduced to powder under the wheels. Rollers are used for grinding many of . the more or less oily seeds and nuts. [ Disintegrators aAre used for «coarse ' and medium grinding. They have arms or hammers which rotate at high speeds, up to 3,000 or 4,000 revolutions per minâ€" ute. Screens separate the material for (Continued From Page One) was opened in September of 1922 and Mr. Todd chose Mr. Moisley as manager of the new store and put him in charge cf all the arrangements. He‘s been there ever since. The younger partner is a Barrie boy, was born there on January 8th, 1902, went to public school in the Simcoe county town, and attended the Barrie Collegiate Institute in search of more knowledge. Rosertson‘s darug store in the same town was the scene of his first acquaintance with mortar, pestle and graduate. In 1921 he went off to Toronto to the Ontario College . of Fharmacy where he met his partner of later years.

Canadian, Briâ€" tish and American firms have specialâ€" ized particularly in producing com|â€" pounds containing heagalthâ€"giving vitaâ€" mins for protection against many disâ€" eases that once took large toll on this continent. Cod liver oil, and haliver gil are just two of the better known products of the day. There are more complex things like capsules containâ€" ing high concentrations of vitamins A, B and D for one condition, Irradol A for another. Doctors prescribe them, but it‘s up to drug stores of the Moisley and Ball type to keep them fresh and ready for instant dispensing. Remember in the history books how Cartier‘s men were killed off with scurâ€" vy? How many of the sailors of olden times died of diseases for which the medical science of that day could find no cure? Those things don‘t happen toâ€"day, even in the North where there is likely to be a lack of certain things that go toward keeping people of European descent healthy. Science has isolated things called "viâ€" tamins" and little known though their chemical composition may ‘be, the efâ€" fects of lack of certain vitamins appear to be sure enough. IH.

That does not include a single repeat, but that means an average, inâ€" creasing yearly, of 5,000. The old pill box chas given way to a modernly deâ€" signeg box with a hinged lid. The label now goes inside where there is no danâ€" ger of it coming off or fading so badly thkat it can‘t be read. Liquids go into specially designed bottles with a bakeâ€" lite screw cap. Glandular products go into little screw cap phials to be sure they will keep well. Eye and nase drops, sometimes ‘badly affected by dlight, go into amber bottles, each provided with an individual dropper and aâ€"case to exâ€" clude light entirely. In connection with the store there is also a hairdressing parlour, under the direction of Miss Myrtle Anderson. Separated from the main part of the establishment, the beauty parlour has done well and continues to be a popuâ€" lar place with Timmins ladies. Looking ‘nack ten years to the day when the partners took over the store, they pictured it as a more or less orâ€" dinary sort of place even for the Timâ€" mins of those aays. Constant improveâ€" ments during the years culminated in 1934 with the complete renovation of the interior, installation of modern show windows brilliantly lighted, moâ€" dern lighting effects for the main part of the store, new merchandising aids, and a host of other improvements. The sale of Victor radios ‘has ‘been a highly successful business for the firm, particularly since last fall. They have confineg their activitiese to the ons line, believing it to be the most generâ€" ally satisfactory. . They had the first big neon sign in Timmins installeg in 1931 when the idea was just beginning to reach the North. (Wampole‘s Helps) A woman shoplifter was discharged in court because she was under docâ€" tor‘s orders for nervous trowole. Apâ€" parently he had told her she must take something for it. Rare Serums and The dispensary is still the most imâ€" portant part of Moisley and Ball‘s. «Other Departments It is the only drug store in the North completely departmentalized. The tobacco and news stand.end of it is a growing business too. The stock of tobaccos is fresh; an extraordinarily large number of periodicals makes it possible to satisfy almost every taste. Projectors and all accessories are also stocked in the store. Another department is the fountain â€"the first fullâ€"fledged drug store soda fountain in Timmins. Although installâ€" ed .only last year, its popularity is inâ€" creasing every week. THIS WOMAN THEN DIDN‘T HAVE TO TAKE â€"HER MEDICINE Stationery is another department of the business. Fine writing papers from Canadian firms; greeting cards for the various seasons; and all the things that go with school days and correspondence are in a third department. Kodaks make ancther complete deâ€" partment of the;store and in this reâ€" gard it has been kept strictly up to date. The newest cameras for taking snap shots are available; so is the "magazine" Cineâ€"Kodak, the wonderful little movie camera that ~makes the taking of movies easier than snap shots. In toiletries, Moisley and Ball carry a large stock and are able through exclusive agencies and others, to satisly the demands of men and women for not only the latest creations ut high quality products. In the duBarry and Bslanco lines they are exclusive Timâ€" mins dealers; they also have> large stocks of Elizabeth Arden, Princess Pat, Martha Washington, Woodbury‘s and Yardley powders, â€" perfumes, rouges, facial creams, bath salts, lipsticks, soaps, shaving accessories, and all the other things that go toward the beautiâ€" fication of â€"modern woman and the apâ€" pearance of modern man. Candy, popular anywhere, but more than usually so in Timmins, is a big item in the drug store of toâ€"day. Freshness in candy. is important. So is quality in the materials used. Moisley and Ball‘s lints are _ famous all over Canadaâ€"Neilson‘s, Smiles: ‘n Chuckles, and Moir‘s. Fresh Fruits Used in Making Perfumes In Newark, Ohio, Fred Clark strugâ€" gled sleepyâ€"eyed through his morning shave. A fly kept buzzing about his face. Finally he took a hefty swipe at it with his razor handâ€"and lopped off a quarterâ€"inch of his nose. THIS SOUNDS LIKE AN ADVT. FQR A SAFETY RAZOR BLADE A good deal of experimental work has recently been done on the use of materials extracted from fruits for creating perfumes. For twenty years oOr so, sythetic chemicals have largely used to add life to perfume odors. Now, t is claimed, there may be a trend toâ€" ward the use of extractsâ€"from fresh fruits for this purpose. Some believe that these extracts will prove superior to the chemical substitutes. It has long been known that cerbain fruits have odorsâ€" characteristie _ of fAowers and vice versa, states The Amerâ€" lcan Perfumer. This is a_ logical chservation, as the fruit follows the fower on the plant and undoubtedly a close relationship in chemical characâ€" teristic exists between them. sSynthetic Scents The practice of adding a fruit tone in modern perfume creations, has existâ€" ed for some time as it has been found that the fruit property along with the green odor of stem and leaf adds conâ€" siderably to the life and effectiveness of the ador. For years, research chemists have been able to supply fruit odors for the perfume industry and also the fiavour industry. Effective odors of well known fruits such as strawlsetry, apple, grape, banana and others have been duplicâ€" ated successfully. Chemicals giving the scent of cocoanuts, figs, plums and other fruits have been prepared in their laâ€" boratories. Some of these synthetic odors have been used with suscess for years by flavouring as well as perfume formulators. Seek to Avoid Artificial Tone It is stated that, while aromatic chemicals of this sort have contributed greatly to the progress of blending perâ€" fumes and flavors, both these indusâ€" tries have felt that something was lacking in their creations which was present in natural products. The chemâ€" ist formulating flavouring extracts found that the flavour, however appeâ€" tizing, usually had an artificial tone. As a result he has returned to some extent to the natural fruit products and is trying out the use of concentrated extracts therefrom.
