A Store With
A Record
We have been doing bu9t-"
ness in this town for 5 years
In that time the ; town has
nearly doubled in population ,
During the same time our '
basinets has inoreased FIVE FOLD.. In other words
onr business has made a great deal more rapid increase
than the town has. There are dozens of reasons for tail .
all of which you will perceive if you begin buying drug"
store goods of us. ! In the first place we had a thorough
training for pharmacy,. In the second place we had ex
ceptional opportunities for learning the practical side of
pharmacy in a successful drug store of the highest stand
ing. In the third place we have kept our eyes oocn and
attended to business until we know the demanli of th
people of this town.
