"Dr. J. Leon Lascoff, pharmacist, holder of the Remington Honor Medal and a president of the American Pharmaceutical Association in 1936, died Tuesday night in his home, 230 Central Park West, after an illness of three months. His age was 75. A practicing pharmacist here for more than fifty years, he was senior partner in J. Leon Lascoff & Son, 1209 Lexington Avenue, at East Eighty-second Street. Dr. Lascoff was born in Vilna, Russian Poland, and was the son of the late Israel David Lascoff and the late Mrs. Anna R. Lascoff and was already a pharmacist, when he came to New York in 1892. The first drug store at which he applied for a job was that of David Hayes & Sons on Division Street. He was hired as a pharmacist at $2 a week and was informed that his first duty was to wash windows. Three days later the owner transferred him to the firm's new Fifth Avenue store at $10 a week. Dr. Lascoff remained with the firm until 1899, when he went into business for himself. He bought a drug store on 136th Street and found that nearly all of its stock had been sold after he had purchased the store. He restocked the store, and three weeks later sold it at a good profit. After beating up the man who had cheated him, Dr. Lascoff leased a drug store at Eighty-third Street and Lexington Avenue. He moved across the street in 1909, and in 1931 moved a block south to his own building. Throughout his career, Dr. Lascoff never sold anything but drugs in his store. In 1936 he filled his one millionth prescription there. ... He leaves a widow, Mrs. Clara Joachimson Lascoff; his son [Professor Frederick D. Lascoff of the Columbia College of Pharmacy], a sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Mazur of Englewood, N. J., and a grandchild." - The New York Times, 6 May 1943.
