Prices have advanced on many pharmaceutical chemicals and crude drugs which are produced only in Europe. Such condi tions have caused a slight increase in the price of some prescriptions. Any advance of this kind at our store is reasonable and only to the amount of the increased price which we must pay to our wholesaler. If further increases become necessary from time to time we shall be glad to give customers a reason for such. We always strive to conduct our store in a manner that will merit the confidence of our customers. La Grande Pharmacy A. NEWLIN, Manager West-Jacobson Building Opposite Bohnen kamps Hardware.
