He completed the com-mon school course in his native city in 1893 and graduated from the Butler High School in 1896, immediately entering the Western University of Pennsylvania at Pittsburg, and was graduated from the Pharmaceutical department of that insti-tution in 1899. In the same year he passed with credit the rigid examination before the Pharmacy State Board of Examiners, and then entered into the drug business at Allegheny. He remained there for three years and then returned to his native city and established the Purvis Pharmacy.
