the Coast Auto Lines, which radiate
out of Coquille in every direction con

major connections with the north and
south coast highway service and di
rect connection with California via
Crescent City.

personal supervision of that genial
Coquille citizen and booster, George
W. Bryant, the general manager of
the company.
The transportation service roughly
covers the following scheduled lines:
Marshfield, Myrtle Point and Rose
burg, Bandon, Gold Beach, Brookings,
Crescent City, California, to Grants
Pass, Oregon, hourly service being
maintained between Coquille and
Marshfield, and three round trips
daily being made to Roseburg with
daily trips to Crescent City and from
Crescent City to Grants Pass. Close
connection is made at Roseburg with
both trains and stages going north
to Portland and southbound.

F. C. HUDSON’S DRUG STORE
RIVALS THOSE OF LARGE CITIES
One of the establishments which,,
fçom its general appearahce and its
large and varied stock, would indicate
to the observant stranger the pro
gressiveness of this city, is the Hud
son drug store located at 466 South
Taylor Street.
This establishment is one that is in
every way modern. • Its equipment, its
efficient management and general
conduct is such that it would be con
sidered a down to the minute drug
store in any city, and the volume of
business handled by this store would
compare most favorably with the
leading drug establishments of the
large cities of the state.
A branch of the business of the
store, which is exceedingly popular
with physicians of this district is the
¡prescription departmerit. ; This de
partment is presided over by a regis
tered pharmacist, who realizes that
the directions of the doctor for each
individual prescription are of the ut
most importance. This is realized by
the physicians of the district, and in
sending prescriptions to this depart
ment they get the exact medicine de
sired for the particular case they are
prescribing for. In compiling pre
scriptions this Store makes it a prac
tice never to substitute any ingredi
ent for that called for by the physi
cian, and to be very certain .that each
ingredient in the prescription is of
the desired strength and purity called
for by the physician.
Another popular department is the
one carrying cigars, cigarettes and
tobacco. Here will be found every
thing to please the individual taste of
the smoker.
This store handles all of the usual
accessories to be had in a drug busi->
ness, such as perfumes, toilet arti-.
cles, stationery, leather' goods, ther
mos goods, fountain pens, alarm
Clocks, rubber goods, candies, etc.
iMr. Hudson is the representative for
this district for the well known East
man kodaks and films.
This store always maintains a ser
vice that is eminently satisfactory.
The Customer will always get at this
store the goods that he calls for.
This establishment carries no goods
known as long-shots to put off on
the public.
The goods carried at
this drug store are all such goods as
have demonstrated through test their
value for their purpose.
Taking it as a whole, there is no
more up to date store in the city, and
Mr. Hudson is one of the city’s very
best citizens, who has always" been
doing something for Coquille in his
own way and at all times having a
good word for its progress. We rec
ommend that you go and see this
place of business and try the service.

AT THE CITY MEAT MARKET
There is not a more up to date
meat, market anywhere than that op
erated under the name of the City
Méat Market.
This meat market is a source of
much pleasure to the citizens of Co
quille, because here they can get any
kind of meat that is obtainable in
the larger cities, and at the most rea
sonable prices. This market carries
a full line of both fresh and smoked
meats of the finest quality.
. ■ This market is under the personal
supervisioii of O. T. Nelson, who has
established a reputation of making
good every assertion made by him,
and can’be depended upon to do ex
actly what he says. He believes in
being absolutely fair with the pa
trons and will not sell them goods
that are .inferior in quality.
This market is well arranged and
is completely stocked with the above
lines, and customers will not be dis
appointed in looking over the goods
offered here. If a place is attractive
ly arranged so as to properly display
the goods handled, the first impres
sion of a customer, which is usually
a lasting one, will be such as to re-
stfttin their becoming reguar buyers.
This is the case with the City Meat
Market. Mr. Nelson has built up this
business by his careful manner of
handling the customers and treating
them all right, new as well as old.
Mt. Nelson is popular among a
large host of the best citizens of
the city. He has always been ready
and willing to do his duty and when
called upon has contributed freely
toward the boosting and upbuilding
of the city. This market conducted
by him has a long line of regular cus
tomers who testify, as to the fair and
honest dealings they have received
at this market, and this is the best
that can be said of any business con
cern.
