ANNIVERSARY
HON. ADAM GRAY
of california
in the house of representatives
Thursday, May 14, 2026
Mr. GRAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Valley Prescription and Compounding Pharmacy in Merced, California, on the occasion of their 100th Anniversary of service.
Founded by George P. Keller and William E. McDermott of Martinez, and joined by Ernest Green of Merced and Pharmacist Stanley Thomas, The Valley Drug Company was more than just a pharmacy. They were best known for the cameras and camera equipment they provided to visitors to Yosemite National Park. Their fountain and lunch counter was a local favorite, where Erma Porter made her delicious and popular sandwiches, pies, and old-fashioned sodas.
Store was renamed Valley Prescription Pharmacy and relocated next to the County Hospital. Since then, the pharmacy has maintained its reputation for quality service, first with owner Ron Krein in 1981 and now with owner Jeff Hill, who has continued the tradition of keeping the drug store family owned.
Pharmacy as they enter their second 100 years with dedication, diligence, and devotion to the people of Merced County.
