F. G. Walker received a public and Normal school education, and his first employment was as a drug clerk in a store at Monroe, Wisconsin. Later he was in stores in Plattville and Baraboo, and in 1901 he came to Appleton and opened his present place of business at No. 932 College avenue, where he has since been located. Mr. Walker conducts a first-class establishment, carrying a full and up-to-date line of drugs, candies, cigars, toilet articles and stationery. Prescriptions are carefully compounded.
