BELOW IS SOME HISTORY ON HAAG DRUGSTORE

Julius was born in Germany,while Louis was born in Indianapolis. By the early 1900s, the brothershadfour stores in downtown Indianapolis, all open seven days a week and withinwalking distance. Shoppers and workers whocommuted on the interurban system could make a quick stop either to orfromwork and shopping.

The Haag\'s got caught upin a Prohibition nightmare and were chargedin 1920 forbootlegging.

Both brothers testified that all the liquorwhich they ordered was for medicinal purposes, which was allowed by law at thetime. There were, however, 400 quarts of whiskey, 10quarts of brandy anda quart of Vermouth on their shelves. Both testified that the clerks werecautioned that only people with There was something so reassuring about thequintessential neighborhood apothecary. A trip to the drugstore was more thanjust picking up a prescription or cold medicine — it was a place to sit at thesoda fountain counter with achocolate malt oractually talk to thepharmacistwho most likely knew your name.

HaagDrugwas just that place formany in Indianapolis residents.

Brothers Louis and Julius Haag opened theirfirst drugstore at 802 Massachusetts Ave in Indianapolis in 1876.Theirformula of high volume sales and buying directly from the manufacturerwasa sound business model and which spawned the slogan, “Cut Price Drugs.”Haag would essentially have the market covered until itsbiggestcompetitor,Hook’s Drugs, came on the scene in 1900.

prescriptions byqualified doctors were allowed to purchase alcohol.

Most prescriptions for alcohol came with the directions of \"takeone tablespoon with quinine water or milk\". Nearly half of Haag’sinventory of liquor was seized and ceremoniously emptied into the sewer by aU.S.marshal.Thebrothers were sentenced to 18 months in a federal prison in Atlanta, Ga.

Julius Haag died ofspinal meningitis a year after he was released from prisonat the age of62. His brother Louis followed a year later at age 57.

Nephew Herbert Haagoperated the chain until 1929 when the11 stores weresold to KellerBrock and Arthur Illingworth. By 1940, the company grew to 30 stores. WilliamHarbison joined the partnership in later years.

In 1950, Sam Moxleypurchased the chain with the help of financing by his brother-in-law and HaagDrug president, William H. Ball Jr., the grandson of one of the five Ballbrothers who started Ball Corp. Moxley updated facilities and opened stores insuburban areas and across central Indiana, including the first self-servicestore in Muncie. These were drugstores in the sense that they carriedpharmaceuticals, but they were also a one-stop-shop that included a camerastore, hobby shop, perfume counter, notions, children’s ready-to-weardepartment and toy department.

William Ball also ownedthe popular Huddle Restaurant chain and the Embers Supper Club at 2034 N.Meridian St. Not so coincidentally, Huddle Restaurants weretypicallyconnected tosuburban Indianapolis Haag Drugs.

During the Vietnam War,Haag Drug\'s conceived the idea of the “Hoosier Air Lift”. Each storehad alist of items ranging from candy, soap, razors and paperback books which couldbe purchased as gifts to servicemen in Vietnam. In turn, Haag Drug Co. matcheditem for item and shipped the gifts overseas.

In 1979, Toledo-basedPeoples Drug Stores purchased the chain, which then had stores in Indiana,Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky and Ohio. CVS eventually purchased the Peoples chain.
