highly enjoyed by the citizens gen

The Modern Pharmacy, of which
Mr. David Griggs is proprietor, is
not only a modern pharmacy in
name, but is a modern pharmacy
indeed, and no business concern in
Cottage Grove has enjoyed a more
pronounced and decided success as
a business venture than this con
cern. The business has had such a
rapid growth that in only a few
months The Modern Pharmacy has
reached that point where it is con
sidered by the wise ones as the
most up-to-date, clean and well-
kept stock of drugs in the city.
There are good reasons for this, not
the least among which is the person
ality of the proprietor. Mr. Grigg*
is a native Oregoniau and for the
three years previous to his comiug
to Cottage Grove, he spent in bard
study and nctual work in the uni
versity of Buffalo, New York, from
which institution he graduated in
Pharmacy and Chemistry. He start
ed in business here by purchasing
the stock and fixtures of the Benson
Drug Cc. His deft hand and ex
perience soon transformed the entire
interior until it was at once placed
in tbe front rank of business con
cerns of the kind in this oity. The
Modern Pharmacy makes a specialty
of its prescription department and
handles a large bulk of such busi
ness here. Mr. Griggs ia a young
man of splendid executive ability, n
good manager, pleasant to do busi
ness with and thoroughly under
stands his work. No stock of drugs
and such articles as are bandied io
a place of this kind, more complete
and right up-to-now than that o f
the Modern Pharmacy, and the
steadily increasing customers attest
thoroughly to the efficient service
ami courteous treatment received by
patrons of this concern.
