( 1902, Lois K. Liggett persuaded 40 druggists to invest in a drug company that would manufacture and distribute products
in franchised stores. In 1903, the United Drug Company (UDC) began operations at 43 Leon Street, now known Meserve Hall at
Northeastern University. The stores and products were known by the name “Rexall,” for “king of all.” By 1929, UDC had 21
manufacturing plants throughout the United States. It employed over 25,000 workers, supplied 10,000 Rexall Drug
