Winger, Balje, McCaulley and now Sanner. The Rexall Pharmacy in Thurmont operated at the same location on 4 East Main Street under these names over the years. This is an advertisement from Sanner's Rexall in Thurmont. It is a calendar hanger for Dr. Miles Weather Calendar. It is meant to be reused each year, with a new calendar being placed over it yearly. I had not heard of Sanner's Rexall until recently and was wondering if anyone can tell me when it operated. I know that Winger's was there in the 1930's, McCaulley's was in the 1940's and Balje owned it during the second half of the 1950's. The Dr. Miles Calendars were in use from the 1920's through the 1950's. On the reverse of this hanger is a Wind Chart that tells you what the weather will be like based on the direction of the wind. The calendar pages had a slot in the top that the arched piece went through and the calendar was supported by the small tabs at the bottom. Note the instruction telling you not to tear off the leaf, but rather turn the leaf over and rehang the calendar. If you tore off the leaf the calendar would not stay on the hanger.
