Michael Katz, along with his brother Isaac, owned and operated Katz Drug Store in Kansas City, Missouri. These marketing geniuses managed to use advertising and promotion to boost their store (which was no ordinary drug store…I understand that they had a full soda fountain AND sold pet monkeys) into the upper echelons of the drug store market. And any market, really… they even sold appliances, and if it could be bought, it was generally considered that the best buy on it could be had at Katz Drugs. Eventually, this store chain became the more recognizable Skaags, and then the more modern Osco.

Michael Katz is interred in a mausoleum at Rose Hill Cemetery in Kansas City, Missouri.
