Be a part of it... ARCADE GUARDIAN DRUGS* 4 ea, ) | VALUE TDOAY FOR A HEALTHY 5 L | Ask us. We Care! Arcade Guardian Pharmacy is a full-line traditional drug store giving full service including free delivery and it is the only drug store in Midland that is open seven days a week. Bud Lewis, owner/pharmacist moved to Midland with his family in 1972. He had vacationed at Smith's camp as a child and had always been attracted to the area. In 1972 Bud purchased Struthers Pharmacy which is now the site of the Parlour. In 1974 the business moved to its present location at 286 King Street. Staff members include Bernice Martin who has work- ed in the cosmetic department since 1972. In the dispensary; Debbie Craddock and Sharon Freund, the dispensary assistants greet the customers needing prescription services and run the com- puterized prescription department. Alan Condren, new owner/pharmacist, is a Penetang native who joined Arcade as a summer student while still at the University of Toronto. He graduated in 1979 and joined the staff as full time pharmacist and has been an intregal part of the business ever since. Bookkeeper, Jackie Kirkby, keeps the whole opera- tion on an even keel and in the front shop Mark Lewis, Denise Dupuis, Theresa Zunnick and student Kim Sargeant give friendly service. Bud is an active member of the Midland Parking Authority and is a member and past president of the Midland Ys Men's Club. In his spare time he likes to golf and boat in sum- mer and cross country and downhill ski in the winter months. Bud says, "'We take pride in our helpful and friend- Get to the Heart of it... ly staff throughout the whole store." In the near future we will be doing some moderniza- tion in the store and possible expandion in the future. Gisele Erb, owner of the Wool Shop has been a resi- dent of Midland for over 30 years. It was only natural that she began to sell knitting machines from her home as she had used one for a number of years. This led her to open a small store in downtown Midland selling machines and wool. Due to customer demand and a large quantity of stock, she moved her business to its present loca- tion at 317 King Street in September 1986. Gisele's carries a large variety of wools such as Patons, Bouquet, Emu and Robin as well as im- ported yarns from fine baby to heavy lopi - in all shades. Knitting machines such as Brother Studio and Bond are also in stock, as well as spinning wheels, crochet and knitting patterns and supplies. Tapestry and rug hooking canvas, Japanese Bunka embroidery and some finished garments are also available. Gisele's offers knitting lessons and once a month the 'Machine Knitter's Club'"' meets at the store. Any interested individuals are welcome and for more in- formation feel free to call Gisele. On September 11th "Paper Tole" lessons will begin from 10:30 - 12:30. Gisele will again be at this year's fall fair with knitting machines. Be sure and drop in and see Gisele and staff: Heather Leonard and Marie Veneer for all your knit- ting needs. Tuesday, September 1, 1987, Page 9
