      American businessman whose Wall (S.D.) Drug grew from a small Depression-era pharmacy into an internationally known $10 million-a-year business and tourist attraction as a result of signs he and his wife placed on a nearby highway to attract customers by offering free ice water; the customers in turn spread the store's fame all over the world by posting signs proclaiming the number of miles to Wall Drug (b. Oct. 3, 1902, Phillips, Neb.—d. Jan. 12, 1999, Philip, S.D.).
