- Summary
- "The Rexall Story: A History of Genius and Neglect shows how America's most successful business/pharmacy venture grew and thrived - and eventually failed as a result of poor management and carelessness. From the rise of celebrated genius Louis Liggett - who started the company (then known as United Drug) in 1903 - to the business's demise nearly 75 years later, this story presents new insights into the pharmacy industry from former Rexall employees, plus internal documents, photographs, and direct quotes from radio promotions."--BOOK JACKET.
