structed.
Hinkle said he plans to
enlarge the pharmacy de-
partment which has out-
grown its present space, as
well as the surgical appli-
ances and convalescent

The food service will be
enlarged to allow seating
for up to 60 or 70 people,
and a specialty ‘‘Hallmark”’
shop is planned.
The project is expected
to be completed in Febru-

“WE’RE ANXIOUS TO SERVE YOU”’
Hinkle’s Pharmacy was founded in 1893, and from that time to present day, our
most important function has been the compounding and dispensing of
prescriptions.
We believe this responsibility goes a lot further than the actual filling of your
physician’s prescriptions.
First, by seeing that our facilities and equipment are the latest most modern
available and second, by constantly improving our service, so it is as helpful and
complete as we can make it.
We maintain a very large inventory of chemicals and pharmaceuticals so that
regardless of the nature of your prescription, whether it be a basic medication or a
rarely used vaccine or serum, we will be able to properly fulfill your medical
needs.
Our professional staff is also kept up-to-date on the most recent medical
developments, by attending seminars and courses made available to our profession
throughout the course of a year. We invite your inquiries or questions to our
pharmacists at any time.
* Free delivery service always to people in the area receiving the Susquehanna Times.”
