The Eagle Drug Store:
�Widely known as the Orville Jackson Drug Store
�Was the longest running business in Eagle
�It served customers for nearly 100 years with only three owners:
�L.B. Harris, 1906-1922
�Orville Jackson, 1922-1974
�Wayne and Jane Crosby, 1974-2005
At the pharmacy:
Jackson would fill a prescription regardless of the customer’s ability to pay
Additionally, Jackson stocked the store with almost anything you could ever need
Including a soda fountain
The story is told that in the days before they had a dentist in Eagle, Jackson took a neighbor that had a bad tooth into the back room and yanked it out with hog pliers
Crosby kept the store name and the one-of-everything-kind of store plus the famous:orville-jackons-sign
“You Can Always Get It of Orville Jackson” sign that covers the outside wall
It was one of the last General Stores in the country
