Justin Whitlock Dart Sr. (August 17, 1907 – January 26, 1984[1]) was an American businessman, considered the "boy wonder" of the drug store industry.
[2] At Walgreens, he introduced the concept of placing the pharmacy counter at the back of the drug store, which not only provided privacy for medical concerns, but forced patrons to walk past many items for possible purchase.
Although Dart Industries never owned Avon, it was the former parent company to Tupperware Home Parties.
[4] Dart and Bryan were staunch Republicans and helped convince their close friend, former California Governor Ronald Reagan, to run for the presidency of the United States in 1980.
Dart Jr. also helped pass the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; he died in 2002 of complications related to polio.
