We have been doing busi
ness in this town for 6 ears
In tbat 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 of reasons for tnis
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 tbe second place we bad ex
ceptional opportunities for learning the practical side of
pharmacy in a successful drug store of the bigliest stand
ing. In the third place we have kept our eyes en end
attended to business until we know the deman U of the
people of this town. '
