We keep a fire department constantly in
readiness to cope with any blaze. The fire hose
and other equipment deteriorate and must be
replaced from time to time, regardless of cost.
We have to pay for all. this and keep it in good
order whether there are any fires or not.
The druggist and the drug store stand in
much the same relation to the community. You
no not often need a prescription filled, but when
you do it is vital to you to have it filled both
promptly and efficiently. But if you give the
druggist only the prescription business, he can
not prosper. He cannot Keep his Btore and his
stock fresh and up to date. If you expect him
to be ready with his skill and with fresh and
pure drugs when you need him then you must
co-operate with him by buying other things be
sides medicine at the drug store. .
