Bradford B. Flint, Sr. founded a small chain of drug stores, starting with the pharmacy on Broadway.
Malone Farmer, May 1, 1901
Bradford B. Flint, son of A. Holden Flint, of Moira, came, home from the New York College of Pharmacy Saturday night with his diploma, a hundred clean, new dollars in his pocket and a medal won by efficient work at the institution where he has been receiving lectures for the past year. Mr. Flint is one of the most promising men who ever started out from Moira. He began his career in pharmacy in the store of his uncle, A. L. Sayles, of that village, and after the big fire which destroyed the store there he worked for a time with C. W. Hyde in this place. He passed the state examination in pharmacy in his junior year at the college and has just graduated, winning by persistent and faithful work a medal for proficiency in his studies and a hundred dollar prize for the best thesis on Materia Medics. Out of 150 students, fifteen who comprised the honor list were allowed to compete for three $100 prizes—one for the best thesis on Chemistry, another for the best on Pharmacy and the third for the best on Materia Medica. Mr. Flint is certainly to be congratulated both on his grit and his good fortune. He already has a position awaiting him in Magill's pharmacy at Saranac Lake, and enters upon his duties there May 6th. Such a young man is an honor and an addition to any community.

The marriage at Bradford B. Flint, proprietor of the Red Cross Pharmacy at Saranac Lake, and Miss Agnes E. English, of that village, is announced to occur on Wednesday, March 8th. The former is well known in the northern part of the county, his home having formerly been at Moira. Miss English for the past two years was the telegraph operator at Meacham Lake and made many friends among the people from Malone and vicinity. The Farmer extends hearty congratulations.

Bradford B. Flint, of Saranac Lake, formerly of Moira, has sold out his patent rights in a new sanitary telephone mouthpiece to the Flint Sanitary Mouthpiece Co., which intends to put the mouthpiece on the market at once. It is made of glass or porcelain so arranged that each member of a family or office force may have one, owing to the fact that it can be instantly attached or detached from a nickle-plated bracket which is permanently screwed to the phone to receive it. The object of the mouthpiece is to prevent the communication of disease.

The Flint Drug Stores have been incorporated and Bradford B. Flint, of Saranac Lake, a Moira boy, is president. The company will operate drug stores at Saranac Lake, Lake George and Glens Falls. Mr. Flint will move his family to Lake George and take personal charge of that store."
