In 1937, Melvin G. Paden sold the pharmacy to “Red” Eaker who retained the "Paden" name and ran the store until 1954.[3] In 1977, Carrizozo resident Roy Dow, who owned a gift shop, moved his shop in the Paden Drug Store.[3]

Paden's Drug Store now operates as a Gift Gallery and Ice Cream Parlour.[3]
