Show Pharmacist Roy Greensides Receives Award . . . Mr. Roy Greensides, owner of Bryan Pharmacy. 1702 South 11 East, is one of the nation's first Rexall druggists to receive the new Mortar and Pestle Trophy, presented by the Rexall Drug Company Com-pany as an annual award to outstanding out-standing member-druggists. The award is an authentic replica re-plica of a 16th century bronze mortar and pestle cast at Deven-ter, Deven-ter, The Netherlands, in 1590. It was presented Feb. 19 by Rexall Representative Calvin Walker. The historical mortar and pestle, still an important implement in the druggist's profession, is an ancient symbol of pharmacy. Its use for pulverizing medicinal herbs is recorded in the histories of ancient an-cient Egyptians, Hebrews of Biblical Bibli-cal times and the Roman era. Mr. Greensides' Mortar and Pestle Trophy, mounted on a black walnut pedestal with a plaque inscribed in-scribed with his name and stq,re, will be on display at the prescription prescrip-tion department. The Rexall Drug Company is continuing its search . for these valued antiques, and exact replicas will be awarded annually to Rexall druggists who meet exceptionally high standards of professional ideas, ethical pi'actice and community- service. Mr. Greensides is a charter member mem-ber of the Sugarhouse Kiwania Club. |
