DAVID W. HUSTED
D. W. Husted wide-awake, alert and enterprising, is successfully conduct­ing a drug business in Indianola. He came to this city in 1888 and opened a drug store, which he has now conducted for twenty years. He not only enjoys a good local trade but covers the state with a line of proprietary goods of his own manufacture, conducting both a wholesale and retail business. He has also the largest prescription business in the county. He has been very successful in his undertakings, as is indicated by the large stock of goods which he carries in a well appointed store on the north side of the square. He is a liberal advertiser and an enterprising, up-to-date merchant, who well merits the trade which he enjoys and which he has won through honorable, progressive business methods.
Mr. Husted is married and has two children who are in school. He is well known in the business circles of Indianola, where for twenty years he has figured as a leading merchant.
