IMRI DUNN, druggist, Bloomington. Among the thoroughly reliable druggists of Bloomington who have had many years’ practical experience in the drug trade, is Mr. Imri Dunn, whose establishment is located corner Center and Front streets; he is a native of Bloomington, and was born June 14, 1847; he first embarked in the drug trade in Macon, Ill., in the spring of 1865, remaining there until 1871, when his store burned, with many others, at the time of the Macon fire; he lost by this misfortune about $4,000. In the spring of 1872, he removed to this city and again engaged in the drug trade, where he has since remained; he also carries, in connection with his full line of drugs, a fine assortment of clocks, watches and jewelry, and makes repairing of clocks, watches and jewelry a specialty in this department. Mr. Dunn is a thoroughly-educated druggist, of fifteen years’ experience, and a close student of the various properties and qualities of drugs and chemicals. The enterprise he has exhibited, his neat and tastily-arranged store, a fine line of pure drugs, fine toilet goods and perfumeries and a case of the choicest brands of cigars, coupled with a fine prescription and family recipe department, are all conducive to his success; but these no less than his good judgment in buying, thereby enabling him to sell cheap, and his strict adherence to a cash system in buying, makes his establishment, if not so large, as thoroughly reliable as any in the city of Bloomington.
