Ifyon have any business with Mr.
TVilliam C. Bolton, Presldcnt of tlie
Molton Drug Co., Brooklyn, N. Y.,
you must, elbow your. way llirougti
a crowd of cusloWlirs, aml you will
ilnd him working nt a moilcst little
dcsk in tlie rear of t.lie longoouuters.
A man wlio has five. litrge stores
to iook after must learn to do at
least two.tb.ings at once, and Mr,
Bolton, whom a rcportcr found at.
the store. 204 Fuiton Street, con?
tinued to work a.s ho talkcd.
" I have been iu this business long
enough to seo many proprietary
articles rise ntul fall " he said. " I
.have never stopped to aualyze tho
reasons (or the failures. Aa for tlie
Huccesses, merit and good th'anage
mentaccoiintforthem: nieritohiefl.v.
"Take Cutic.ura Koap, Ointmcnt
and Resolvent, for example. Inour
stores we have handled them for
years, and tlie sales have gone on
increasing'rigjibnlong despite lively
and persistent compe.titiou.
" There are thousands, yes, tens of
thonsands of people in this good
borough of Brooklyn, who coneidcr
them standard household articles,
as thoroughly to bc depended on as
to-morrow's sunrisc.
"In my judgment, the hold of
Cuticura Remedies upon the pnblic
confidence is oxplainable upon one
ground only; that they really do all
they are said to do.
" lf they failed to curo ec/emas,
rashes and other torturing, disflgur
ing skin, scalp and blood hnmors,
or if the Soap and Ointment, did not
possess delicate cmolient properties
especially fltting them for toilct
purposes, for preserring, purtfyiug
and beautifying theBkin. scalp, liair
nnd hands, the facts wouid have
Ixteu known long ago, and Ctrticura
wouid have gone to the grave-yards
of tnedkinal failures.
1 " As a matter of fact, Ctrticura
remedies are very inuch alive. Of
eourae our salcsmen do not ask ques
Uons of people who com? to buy
them, but.from tbe ever growing de
mand' 1 aesume that the good work
of Cntioura has been spread through
tho community by word of mouth,
and wi th all due respect to tbe news
papers, tbat is the best advertising
in the world.
" Time and competition are the
hardest testa, and Outicnra bas with
stood them both- Mothers nse the
Soap aud /Ointment to relieve thelr
tonnented babies, whose tender
skins itch aud bnrn with ernptlons
aa unsightly aa they are agoni'/.lng,
beeause it is ? not only effective in
tlie highest degree,' but it ia pure,
sweet and \vbolespme.
"Grown up pwple who buy the
remedies for their personal use,
swear by them, I know. Cutlcura
Soap is the most popular of skln
soaps, and its sale probably exceeds
that of all other Kkinsoaps combined.
" We have sold at ,retail over
8.1,000 worth of Cuticura Soap, Oint?
ment and Resolvent thls year, and
have as yet not heard one word of
coraplaint.
" I hnve no more interest in Cnti?
oura than in other things we 6ejl,
but sinco you ask my opinion, I
give itas freely on this subject as
I wouid on any other."
