A Victorian era advertisement for German cologne and toothpaste sold by Ingalsbe and Hoffman, druggists in Oakfield, circa 1890. There has been a long line of pharmacists in Oakfield. J.J. Stedman's drug business was acquired by Dr. Charles Puglsley in 1881. Ingalsbe and Hoffman succeeded Dr. Pugsley as village pharmacist. Hoffman was bought out in 1895 by Birdsall Briggs, who in turn was bought out in 1927 by Glenn Peterson. Today there is still a pharmacy in the village at 40 Main St.
