QUALITY DETERMINES SUCCESS. .
Quality Indicates the man; Quality makes the merchant; Quality
you will remember long after the price has been forgotten. The
quality and prices of the goods piled up and scattered around
this store will tell you whether or not this is the right place to get
the right quality at the right prices.
Yea, it would be easy to go ahead and enumerate all kinds of drugs,
medicines, stationery, toilet goods, books, combs, brushed, etc. BBut
what's the use? It isn't Just things you're after. You want quality,
articles of merit, and things that are pure and wholesome
This is not a little, dingy place. It's a drug store with lota of good

Business principles that are broad, honorable and fair to all,
