ABOUT OUR
IrrescpoaSetiaffieat
Than any other Department of OUR Store.
It is because Prescription Business is our hobby. It
is the one thing WE have been trying to make more per
fect than another for the past eight years. How well we
have succeeded is shown in Our record of nearly 65,000
Prescriptions.
Confidence in THIS department can not be gained in
a few weeks or months, but once gained it lasts as long as
honest integrity lasts.
We think
WE have gained the confidence of our customers and
friends during these eight year?, and now that it is gained,
we will try with fair treatment aid honest prices to retain it..
We have never put in any Prescription "just as good," as
is sometimes done. If we do not have in stock just what
your Prescription tails for we tell )ou so frankly.
We Believe
This ii one of the important factor of your confidence
in our Prescription Department.
