We have been doing busi
ness in this town for 6 years .
In that time the town has
nearly doubled in population
Durine the same time our
business has increased FIVE FOLD.' In other words
our business has made a great deal more rapid increase
than the town has. There are dozens ol reasons for this
all of which you will perceive if you begin buying drug
store goods ol us. In the first place we had a thorough
training for pharmacy, ; In the snoond place we had ex
ceptional opportunities for learning the practical side of
pharmacy in a successful drug store of the highest stand,
i n (z. In the third place we have kept our eyes open and
attended to business until we know the demands ol thi
people of this town.
