Among those who thought that there were better places than St. John, 13 years ago, was E.M. ESTEY, who at that time was a clerk in the drug store of John CHALONER. He had a decided leaning towards medicine and had studied before then with Dr. John BERRYMAN. He went to Boston and after two years of practical work, decided to finish his medical studies at Harvard, when ill health forced him to return to his native province. Shortly after his return, a good position offering in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Mr. Estey went there and was for some time manager in S.W. Dood's drug store. In 1876, he decided to embark for himself in the town of Moncton and from then until now he has carried on a successful drug business.
