This is William L. Campbell with the baby Lewis (Lew) Campbell in front of their home at 129 Barrie Street. W.L. Campbell operated a drugstore on Holland Street for many years in Bradford. His descendants still live in the area.
"This week's historical photo was submitted by Lew Campbell of RR 2, Bradford, whose father, W.L. Campbell (behind the counter) operated the drug store on Holland Street now occupied Ritchie's Variety Store. Fred C. Cook, standing in front of the counter, worked for Mr. Campbell for several years, intending to become a druggist. But he went into the insurance business instead. Mr. Campbell owned the drug store in Bradford for 57 years. He graduated from the Ontario College of Pharmacy in 1891, a silver medalist in his class."
