Abstract:
Records of a Rexall/United Drug Company drug store in Stoughton, Wisconsin, purchased in 1866 and operated by Ole N. Falk alone or in partnership with others, including son Elmer, who sold it in 1955. The store sold not only drugs, but cosmetics and toiletries; Victor Records and phonographs, sheet music, and musical instruments; tobacco products, liquor, other beverages, and confections; books, magazines, newspapers, and paper goods; paint and hardware, clothing, athletic equipment and games, photographic film and processing services, and many other items. The records reflect the impact on the business of two world wars, the Depression, and Prohibition. The records consist mainly of advertising materials, along with some orders, invoices, and correspondence. Also included are some letters concerning personal financial matters; mailings from Madison, Stoughton and Dane County civic and fraternal organizations; and materials Falk received as a University of Wisconsin and Kappa Sigma alumnus.
