William F. Lynch, the secretary and treasurer of
the Heyl & Lynch Drug Company of New Haven, was born on the 31st of
August, 1893, in the city in which he is now successfully engaged in business.
His parents are William and Mary A. (Shay) Lynch, natives of Bridgeport
and of Irish lineage. The son pursued his education in the public schools
and under private instruction, and from the age of fourteen years has been
dependent upon his own exertions, entering upon an apprenticeship to the
drug business, with which he has since been continuously connected. He
was in the employ of others for several years or until 1915, when laudable
ambition prompted him to enter upon an independent venture and he formed
a partnership with Edward C. Heyl, under the style of the Heyl & Lynch
Drug Company, Incorporated. These two young men have since conducted their
interests along progressive, modern business lines, and their labors have
brought to them continued success. Their store is attractive in its appointments,
complete in its equipment and the practical experience of the partners
has enabled them to so direct their interests as to win a continually growing
patronage.
