Description

J. H. Board began operating a pharmacy in 1900. When he opened the business it was considered unethical for a druggist to stock anything other than the "standard lines" - drugs, stationary, cosmetics, jewelry, and cut glass. In the last forty-four years, the drugstore business has changed. Mr. Board never wanted to be in the café business, but did have a soda fountain in his store for a short time. He was born in Fulton County, Kentucky and moved to Texas when he was a boy. Mr. Board married his wife, Miss Etna Chorn in 1896. She has helped in running the drugstore since it opened. After the years of long hours, Mr. Board is ready to retire and spend his days fishing in Lake Worth. Mr. Board is sitting on the porch wearing a dark suit. He is holding a pestle and mortar to mix drugs.
