He has also installed new tix

big new fountain, the only one
of its kiihl in this section. The
location of the Albemarle Phar

the public as well as of the phy

Speaking of the Allxmarle

in a news way the Advance
some weeks ago had this to
say of the Trescription Store's'
newest addition to its equip

entire store has just emerged
from a, "clean up, paint up,

it e-sjieXMally for the season of

opal onyx fountain to be in

far as Mr. Jacocks knows, the
only one east of Hale'gh."
automobilists have had the
stuff applied to their tires, thus
immunizing them from the
greatest trouble with which
the orlinary owner has to

into general use throughout
