Lancaster Surgical Supply doesn't look like much, with its windows crowded with walkers, canes, and other medical equipment. Treasures await inside, however. When you enter, you'll hear, "May I help you?", and you'd better take him up on it.
You'll need help locating, for instance, the world's best band-aids (Coverlets - we swear by them, and nasty things do happen to jewelers' fingers). Or tidy little packets of alcohol-saturated pads, ideal for wiping down earrings before clients try them on.
The other day, Jude wanted to make sure the exhausted pickle* was neutralized before she sent it down the drain. Off I went to LSS, on the off chance he'd have litmus paper. He did - two kinds, one for alkaline substances and one for acidic substances. I told him (I'd like to give the owner a name, but I don't know it - he did tell me he's a pharmacist) how we marveled at his inventory. He gets calls daily, he said, from pharmacies looking for items they'd never heard of. Chances are, he knows what it is and Lancaster Surgical Supply has it.
