No One Buys Drugs For Fun
r No one sells them for amusement It's a ser
ious, important business on both sides. A drug
store should bays two missions: One, to furnish
drugs that can be relied on, tbe other to furnish
; them for what they are worth. Drugstores ex
Tilt for the puUiC good. Knowledge, experience
and progressive methods should mark their '
.E mansgemenl w endeavor to keep step with 1
the progress of tke age, to met every require
ment of the ewaataunity, to onduot a store that
shall stand for all that a erag store should.
We wish to serve those who want aecurale
servloe, high grade drugs, and uniformly
' fair and oour teoas treatment.
