I Should you hear anyone scoff at the drug store for selling such a variety of merchandise, we hope you may reply that sugar was once a drug; coffee, tea, cocoa and spices were first intro duced to the Western world by pharmacists; pharmacists made the first flavoring extracts; were the first candy manufacturers; introduced toilet soap. The list could be extended indefi nitely. Surely it is logical that the drug store sell those things to which the world is indebted to pharmacy. And by selling a variety of mer chandise, your druggist has kept down prices of prescription drugs. Frtt Ci/y-M^/Ve Delivery Three Druggists to Serve You DEAN TAINTER — WILLIAM G.
