Collinsville Family Pharmacy
Pharmacists: Tharyn
Nachtigall & Sherri Clark
 |
| Collinsville's Family Pharmacy filled their millionth new prescription Thursday morning April 3, 2008 (and that doesn't count refills). Long-time pharmacy customer, Pauline Scott (above left), helped the pharmacy reach that milestone when Tharyn Nachtigall filled her latest prescription. This count started at zero with a new computer system started in about 1981. Before that, prescriptions were counted with three different manual counter stamps. Tharyn started his pharmacy career with Doyne Wolf at the Collinsville Rexall Drug Store in 1972. The current Family Pharmacy facility at 12th & Main was opened in 1988. |

in the article was Jim Keith who was a partner in the Bryant-Keith Drug
store for 13 years before 1923 when the Bryant Rexall Drug Store was started.
