Story Os
Zebulon Drug Co
For more than a quarter ui a cen
tury, Zebulon Drug Company has
served the people ox Zebulon and the
surrounding community. During thai
entire period the stole has been un
ier the management of E. C. Daniel.
Back in 1905. beiore Zebulon came
into existence, Dr. Z. M. Caviness.
Sow of Raleigh, and E. C. Daniel
established a drug store in Wakefield.
Shortly after Zebulon was founded,
the firm of Caviness and Daniel mov
ed their business into a new store
building in Zebulon, in 1907. The
rigmal gtore is now occupied by M.
T. Debnam, hardware dealer.
In 1912. after Dr. Caviness moved
to Raleigh, the name of the business
was ch: i"? l t z-. >ui< n Drug Com
pany and E. C. Daniel became s"le
manager.
In those early days of the town.
Zebulon Drug Company was consider
ed one of the finest drug stores in
Eastern North Carolina. But the new
building which was constructed in
1920 to house the drug store was even
.tiger and finer than the old store.
Zebulon Drug Company ig still
one of the best drug stores in this
section of the state. It is the largest,
and most complete establishment of
,ts kind in the trading area between
Raleigh and Rocky Mount and Wilson.
Quite often, in fact, visitors' t« Z&J
don remark, that Z£buten>j7- drug
-tort would do credit to a much .larg
er town. Equipped with beautiful
mahogany fixtures and furniture and,
large soda fountain, ‘it preserttg
clean, attractive appearance. Al
though the store carries a more eqjn
nlete stock than the average small
town drug Store, it is*still spacious
and roomy. A
Through prosperity and depression,
Zebulon Drug Company has maintain
ed its high standards of excellence.
Its customers include not only the
people of thig immediate community
but also a large group in outlying
communities who have heard of the
store's reputation for integrity and
completeness of facilities.
During the entire 27 years of its
existence, Zebulon Drug Company
has been actively managed by E. C.
Daniel. Outlining: the policy undeT
which he has directed the affairs of
the company since its establishment;
Mr. Daniel says, “It has always been
our policy to give the people of the
community the begt of everything
‘.hat a good drug store can offer: a
clean, comfortable store; a large and
complete stock of quality merchan
dise; and service that excels in cour
tesy and reliability.
“In accordance with the best prin
ciples of the independent drug trade,
we believe that the honest merchant
has a right to demand a fair profit
on the goods he sells. W e have en_
deavored to give the people of the
community a good drug store. In or
der to do that we have found it neces-j
sarv to sell our goods at standard ■
priceg. However, we w-ill always
charge the lowest prices consistent j
with a fair profit.
“Whenever possible we always pac
on to the public any savings which
we can make possible by quantity
buying. It is our policy to offer at
least one special bargain a week on
staple merchandise.
“W T e believe, however, that our 1 ep
utation for reliability and supi -ior
service, especially in the compound
ing of pregcriptions, is worth much
-to our discriminating customers.
For almost ten years. Mr. Danie\
has had Julian R. Horton as his prin
cipal assistant in the management
of Zebulon Drug Company. Mr. Hoi- j
ton’s ability, courtesy and helpful.]
ness are widely appreciated by the
customers of the store.
Suggestions
And Advice
By E. H. Moser
Some of us have travelled around
enough to lose faith in the belief that
the grass is greener in the pasture
across the fence. We have reached
the conclusion that this community
offers just as much that is good and
beautiful as any other place one can
find. We do not mean to boast about
what we have. But it is our opinion
that the advantages we have, have
been covered up because w - e have been
looking for something to drop out of
a clear -sky to make our condition
bettw’.
Take our tobacco market, for ex
ample, we boost a little while and then
flop because other markets seem to
get the weed that we should sell. If
we look at the matter squarely we
find the other markets are sticking
through thick and thin to hold on.
There is no I‘eason to become diacour
. i m ± _•
!to ours occasionally. We cannot
change human nature. We can how
jever keep on working in the interest
of our community . We can be
honest in our endeavor to see that
■ the tobacco sold on our warehouse
J fio r brings the market price and that
this market price goes to the man
1 who sells the tobacco.
.' Most of the surrounding towns have
.-, been hit just as hard as has ours. But
. j ail I.' them expect t > come back. So
Zebulon and its surrounding ter
. ritory expect to conic back. The agri
cultural interests of our community
are the foundations of our progress.
We- sh >ld endeavor to find a market
outlet for everything that the farms
, of our community produce.
W< have been rather fortunate in
this endeavor. Although prices have
been low. chickens, eggs and other
side crops have been sold in Zebulon
- most of the year. Some of our citi
zen- deserve credit for their efforts
,'in t is direction.
Just vwe are centering our ef
forts on nr.'king Zebulon a leading
market for tobacco and cotton. Some
how we have the feeling that the en
t:'re town •is going to work harder]
for the success of these markets this
d£ar than we have in many seasons.
~Dui*itig a rainy season (not this
year) a visitor in a small town an
noyed’*by constant rain, asked an old
settJs£.;JW»}l the rain ever stop?” It
awaj-is has, was the reply. We might j
• ask. now, '‘Will good times ever re-,
tiit'n??i-They always have. If we are'
to ker- >: ]>aco w ith gradually increas
ing* progress, we must keep at the
ivjb-,ol' making our town a place for
thebaic of market produce brought
ift troth the farm. ,
have talked with many of the
citizens ftf the town and surrounding
during the last few days.
We have never found a more
-willing spirit to work together. Ibis
'spirit of working together will do
njuch to bring the confidence we need
to make our community a progres
sive one.

AUSTRALIA.WANTS BIBLE
A dispatch from Adelaide, South
Australia, informs us that the state
parliament is to be asked to pass leg
islature for the introduction of Bible
leading in schools, as well as the
Education Department is being urged
to consider the inclusion in the school
reading books of a number of Scrip
tural parables and reading.
In the private schools of South
Australia clergymen attend every
morning and give Scriptural lessons
to the pupils, but such instruction is
not permitted in the state schools.
The Methodist Conference, however,
is urging a change in this respect,
which sentiment is shared by the
Council of Churches, including repre
sentatives of nearly every religious
denomination.
Somebody is always getting in the
way of the man who is in the pur
