Wing’s Drug Store completes 50 years of service to Abbotsford
On Aug. 19, Wing’s Drug Store will have given 50 years of reliable drug service to the sick and the well in this community. Since the anniversary falls on Sunday, the celebration of the anniversary will take place on Saturday.
Frank B.
Wing, founder of the present father and son company, hopes that many of the residents of the early days when the store was established here will take the opportunity to gather and do a little reminiscing. Contact has been made with William Powers, who was clerk for Mr. Wing at Marshfi eld more than 50 years ago. He is now a Capuchin monk Glen-Radcliffe Garrison on the Hudson and he may be here for the celebration.
For the baseball minded, the store will be hosts at a night ball game at the Athletic Park, when Curtiss will play Abbotsford. Tickets are available at Wing’s Drug Store and may be obtained by calling them. Mr. Wing, who attended graded school at Whitehall, served as apprentice in what now known as Roy Forman’s Drug Store, at Whitehall and graduated from Northwestern School of Pharmacy with a degree of Ph. G. in 1886. He worked for a short time in La Crosse and the purchased a half interest in a Marshfield drug store, and a full interest a year later. In 1901, he sold his drug store there to Henry Kamps and at the urging of railroad friends, decided to locate in Abbotsford. He purchased the lot where the present store is located west of the intersection of Highways 13 and 29.

Escrow, temporary landfill set by Abby
A resolution agreeing to establish an escrow fund for each yard of refuse generated at the temporary Abbotsford landfill was adopted by City Council in special session Monday evening.
The escrow account in the amount of $7 per yard of refuse is part of a negotiated settlement allowing the city to continue using the old landfill until a new landfill is developed.
A hefty fine is also being negotiated. The city has been operating its old landfill well past a closure order of Dec.
15, 1908, which would have forced the city into the Marathon County landfill at Ringle.
Abbotsford had at one time agreed to use the Ringle site so that the city could continue to use the landfill back in the 70s.
After the Ringle site announced its rates, the city determined that it could save thousands of dollars each year by building a new landfill.
Also contained in the agreement is a provision for the temporary landfill on the northwest corner of the present landfill, which must be placed into effect the landfill meets the contours established by the DNR. Refuse from the temporary land must be removed to the site of the new landfill northeast of the city when that site opens.
The city still has received no word on the review of its plans for the new landfill from the DNR, but according to Jame Feigleson of Gremmer-Bablitch Consulting Engineers, the city has met every deadline in filing plans and forms with the DNR, with the original site plan filed on May 30.
