Wm. A. Fitzpatrick, R.Ph. Fitzpatrick Pharmacy 360 N. Skinker St. Louis, Mo. 63130
Dear Customer:
With sincere regret, I must inform you that FITZPATRICK PHARMACY will cease business on December 31, 1975. The owners of the building have served us with an eviction notice and have refused to renew our lease. After repeated attempts by myself and my lawyer to resolve this problem, we have concluded that the landlord has no interest in keeping the drugstore open for the benefit of the neighborhood. This leaves us no other choice but to close a store that has been serving the area for over forty years.
I sincerely appreciate your loyalty and business over the years. My family and I wish there was a reasonable solution to this senseless action, but there is none.
All the prescription files and records will be transferred to Cytron Pharmacy at 6353 North Rosebury…
Again, I would like to thank you for your business and friendship, and wish everyone a Happy and Rewarding New Year.
Sincerely, William A. Fitzpatrick and Family.
