There Are Two Sides to
Our Drug Store
The professional and commercial. The one finds ex-
pression in our Prescription Department, the other in our
sales over the counter.
Physicians and Surgeons judge us by the former, and
you should do the same.
The prescription department is the one that matters.
It is the predominating factor that makes or mars a drug
store. And wherever it is the main issue, as it is with us,
it reflects its efficiency upon the commercial side, too.
Whether you require a home remedy, some proprietary
medicine, sick-room supplies, rubber goods, or toilet arti-
cles, you will find all of them here, up to the standard, at
prices no higher than you pay elsewhere.
