EDWARD A. BAER, 

pharmacist and proprietor of the drug store at No. 16 North Spring street, is a native son both of the 
Golden State and of the "Angel City," having been born in Los Angeles. His father, A. Baer, came 
from the city of New Orleans to California in the '50's. The subject of this sketch was reared and 
educated in this city, and has been actively connected with the drug business in the several capacities 
of apprentice, clerk and proprietor ten years. In the early part of 1888 he opened his present attractive 
store, and being in one of the choicest localities in the city, he has had a fine growing business from 
the start, a prominent feature being his large prescription trade. His stock comprises everything in the 
line of drugs and chemicals, and a general assortment of toilet and fancy articles. He manufactures 
several preparations for his own retail trade. Mr. Baer learned the business with Mr. C. F. Heinzeman, 
the oldest active druggist in this part of the State, and is one of the rising young men of Los Angeles.
