Edward Wheelock Runyon was born in Chicago in 1851. He was a postmaster to the Ohio Regiment during the Civil War. He went to California in 1887, met William Boericke, and returned to the east coast to get a degree from the New York College of Pharmacy in 1893. He was the president of Boericke and Runyon in New York City from 1908 until his death at age 86 on December 17, 1937.

Boericke and Runyon
Sometime during the 1940s Boericke and Runyon were sold to Humphreys Pharmacal, and became a division of that company.

Between 1940 and 1960, Boericke and Runyon were acquired from Humphreys and merged with Boericke and Tafel.
