Hooker Drug Co.
Installs Modern
Fountain
The Hooker Drug Store of this city
announces the Installation of new
equipment for their fountain depart-
ment in line with their program of
modernization. A hearty invitation la
extended to all friends and patrons
to come In and Inspect the newly-in-
stalled “Liquid” Sterll-Ray Cabinet
and the Roto Glass Washer designed
to furnish 100% sanitary protection
for their customers.
Glassware at the average fountain,
It has been found, Is spl^ to be hastily
washed during peak-hour business,
and It ia possible, therefore, that
it can serve as a means for transmit-
ting many communicable diseases.
Fountain operators have been making
every effort to find a means of mak-
ing their glassware 100% sanitary and
germ-free. Manufacturers of fountain
equipment enlisted In the search to
solve this problem so that the foun-
tain patron would he assured of com-
plete protection through the use of
thoroughly-sanitized* glassware.
One of the best solutions to the
problem yet developed Is the Sterll-
Ray Cabinet Installed by the Hooker
Drug Store. Tho cabinet in equipped
with four electrically-operated Star-
Ramps which utilize the powerful
sanitizing and germicidal action of
The Sterile*p Itself le e

to the flel of ultraviolet rny. The
Sterltomp le their latest achievement,
and Its beneficial notions have al-
ready been utilised by hoeplui., etc.
The beneflelal use of ultm-violst
rnya it no longer confined to the lab-
oratory or the hoepital, however, but
te now available for the fountain In
sanitising glassware This modern
geaU ia conftnad In an ivory-colored
box—the “Liquid” Sterll-Ray Cabinet.
Although It appears harmless enough.
It houses a death my which deals
Instant death to germs that lurk on
fountain glassware.
Tha Storil-Ray Cabinet operates
without boat ol* chemicals. After
glassware has been washed and drain-
ed, it Is placed on n trny, loaded In-
to tho Sterll-Ray Cabinet, end the
eliding metal door or curtain lowered.
The closing of tho door automatically
turns on tho Sterilnmps, and n time
lock Is engaged which prevents the
door being raised again until two
mlnutaa and ten seconds have passed,
at which time the glassware Is com-
pletely sanitised.
The Roto Glass Washer, team mate
of the 8terll4Uy, scrubs glassware
sparkling and germ-free by the scrub-
blng action of revolving bristle
brushes. Glass ware scrubbe l by the
Roto Glass Washer has been given
the important pretienning before It
Is placed In the Steril-Rny Cabinet.
The Sterll-Ray and the Roto Q1a>»
Washer were purchased from The
Liquid Carbonic Corporation.
The Hooker Drug Store Is to bo
commended on Its progreaslveness In
bringing to thla community the ad-
vantage* of modern methods. Tho
Installation of the Sterll-Ray Cabinet
and the Roto Washer should add to
the splendid reputation they alrendy
enjoy, __
