FOR WHAT
IT'S WORTH
Everyone will readily agree io
th e theory th a t no m an is indis
pensable. At least he will be, in
agreem ent if he th in k s you are

himself. At the same tim e he will
be equally confident th a t no one
else could do his job as effieient-
l.v as h« is doing it at th e present
time. T his a ttitu d e is usually the
resu lt of his having done such a
good job of selling him self to his
boss th a t he has even convinced
himself.
N a tu ra lly no one can step into
any position and do as good a job
im m ediately as th a t which was
done by th e m an ho is replacing.

T h at is why it is highly im port

position should so organize his
work as to insure his being indis

th e rem ark, “I would like to tak e
a vacation but I ca n ’t because
there is ju st no one I can tru s t
to do my job.”

Curly Lawson was first in this

and re. -ninends them highly —
but with reservations.
“Mine's the latest model,” says
Curly. “ B u ilt-in r e frig era tio n

“However,” he warned, “those

If you’re not on the main high

people pass—you’d better stick to
the old methods.”
From where I sit, yon have to
admire Curly for his pioneering

What? A new Dodge EVERY VLAR?
T he old apothecary of other years was a mysterious and
romantic figure. Under his magic influence, roots, herbs,
and minerals were turned into pills, extracts, and plasters.
The doctor’s prescriptions were filled, the patient's health
and comfort restored. Although much of the mystery with
which he was surrounded has vanished, the fine art of
the apothecary has not been lost. A visit to our prescrip
tion depart...ent will convince the most skeptical that his
function is an important adjunct to modern medical prac
tice. When you find it necessary to consult a physician,
bring your prescriptions to us to be filled.
