Chicago Evening Post,March 13, 1868
Mr. James B. Rayner having resumed his old place at the Central Prescription Drug Store, No. 93 Clark street, we are glad to couple with the announcement a few words of welcome and commendation. Several years ago Messrs. Buck & Rayner established themselves at this now well known stand and forthwith the name of “Buck & Rayner” became as it still is a household word in Chicago. Mr. Rayner withdrew in 1865 to engage in business at New York, and now returns upon the withdrawal of Mr. Buck. But the firm name, surviving, the first change, will also, we believe, survive the second,—for all the while there remains a familiar face and a competent head to represent the establishment—Mr. Rayner has hosts of personal friends in Chicago to whom his return will be no less gratifying than it is an assurance to all the patrons of united Buck & Rayner.
