RANDOLPH - Miss Ida Townsend, recognized as one of the most efficient and well liked clerks of Randolph, has resigned her position at the Buchanan Drug Store after having served the public in Randolph for over 30 years. Miss Townsend tendered her resignation in August, however it did not become effective until Wednesday of this week. She worked her last day as a regular employee of the drug store on Tuesday.
Miss Townsend first began working steadily in Randolph in the spring of 1911, believed to be in the month of April. Since that time she has continued as a clerk in the corner drug store under three different managers. Before accepting steady work in the store she was employed part-time by the Hill Brothers.
In 1911 she accepted a steady position with the drug store and for seven years worked under the management of L. A. Peters, until his death in 1918. Missing only a few days of work she began as a clerk under the next managers, Walz & Obert, continuing steady employment until 1934 when the store began under the management of R. L. Buchanan.
During her time as a clerk in Randolph Miss Townsend has made a large host of friends who regret her resignation. Always courteous in her dealings and pleasant to her customers, she has established a record as being one of the ablest clerks Randolph has ever known.
Miss Townsend plans to spend more of her time at home from now on.
