Butt Drugs-A Downtown Fixture in Corydon Since 1952 "Prescription for Success," no author noted, Chamber of Commerce of Harrison County 2012, (Corydon, Indiana: O'Bannon Publishing Co., 2012), p. 6-7. NOTE: The information noted below was abstracted by Randi Richardson from an article that is copyright protected. The article is accompanied by three photographs. Butt Drugs was established by Bill "Blackie" Butt in 1952. He traded his home in Milan, Indiana, for the small pharmacy with the soda fountain surrounded by colorful vinyl seats. He and his family lived above the store. In 1973, Bill's son, Tom, took over the business, and the business moved next door at 115 E. Chestnut Street in order to expand. Some were concerned that the change would wreak havoc with the success of the old store. But with the installation of a new soda fountain and new vinyl seats, tradition was preserved. In 2011, Tom's daughter, Katie Butt Beckort, took on the challenge of running Butt Drugs. Although Beckort has made some positive changes to the store, the soda fountain is still a cherished fixture.
