a native of New York State, and is twenty-eight years of age.  He began to learn

the Cincinnati School of Pharmacy, from which he also holds a diploma. His first 
experience in business on his own account was in Eaton, Ohio. From there he 
moved to Cincinnati, and remained in the Queen City until 1887, when he crossed 
the continent to the Pacific Coast and located in Los Angeles, his first place 
of business being at No. 16 North Main street. Early in 1888 he opened his 
present finely appointed store, which is stocked with a complete general 
assortment of drugs, medicines and toilet goods. Mr. Fullerton being a

proprietary articles which he compounds is a preparation for the face and hands 
denominated Lactine Cream, which is a very popular lotion. His thriving business 
furnishes employment for two experienced men besides himself. Mr. Fullerton was 
married in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1885, to Miss McKrell, who was born in Kentucky,
