WILLIAM H. JUENGER, 
 
senior partner of the firm of Juenger & Cross, druggists, No. 27 North Main 
street, established the business at that number over four years ago, having 
opened the store on March 16, 1885. About a year later he took in Frank C. Wolf 
as a partner, who sold his interest in the early part of 1888 to W. S. Cross, 
the present junior member of the firm. They have one of the largest and 
prettiest drug stores in Los Angeles, and carry a full and complete stock of 
every kind of goods usually kept in a first-class drug store. They make a 
specialty of the pharmacy branch of the business, and have a very large 
prescription trade, averaging thirty-five to forty a day. During the first four 
years of the history of the house it compounded and sent out 28,000 
prescriptions, besides those prepared for the French Hospital, for which 
institution this firm has furnished all the drugs and medicines in the past 
three years. Mr. Juenger is one of the most thorough pharmacologists in Southern 
California, having had seventeen years of active experience in pharmacy. He 
manufactures several proprietary prescriptions. Mr. Juenger was born in New 
Orleans, July 22, 1859, and passed the first thirteen years of his life in the 
Crescent City. Coming from there to California, he located in San Francisco, 
where he began to learn the drug business early in his teens. Fifteen years ago 
he came to Los Angeles, and was five years in the employ of Mr. Heinzeman, in 
the oldest drug store in the city. In September, 1884, Mr. Juenger and Miss 
Eliza Anderson were united in marriage. She is a "native daughter," born in Los 
Angeles.
