Milton's Welch Drug Closes.

THE CLOSING OF WELCH'S DRUGS

JULY 1988

In the Milton Chamber Clipper, July 1988, Charlie Fleetwood has reported the closing

of the Welch Drug Store which has been a Milton institution for over 100 years, 98 year in

the same location.

Bill Welch's grandfather began the business and Bill and Ann have operated it for the last

47 years.

Closing will end an era, a visit to Welch's was a step back in time. Beautiful wood and glass

cabinets held the medicines that kept us all healthy here and around Milton.

Welches was a most pleasant reprieve.

Bill and Ann thank all patron and friends for the many years. The Welch's feel the

community has given much more that they can repay.

Although Welch's is closed, Bill and Ann are still with us and we wish them a long and

happy retirement and thank them for their many years of service to Miltom.
