Filling prescriptions is the smallest part of the busi
ness of a modern drug store. Drug stores to-day carry
a thousand and one items of general merchandise the sales
of which in the aggregate overshadow its drug sales like a
skyscraper overshadows a telephone booth. The soda foun
tain sales alone in this drug store exceed our sales of drugs
any day in the year.
The above fact explains why druggists occasionally
neglect their prescription business to build up the showy
and more profitable front end. -of the business. But we
haven't fallen into that- We pride ourselves upon our pre
scription business and at the prescription counter you will
find us. We maintan a complete and constant supply of,
absoltely fresh drugs, bought in every instance from the
best labratories in America and Europe. And we follow
scrupulously your doctor's prescription. Ask your doctor
what he thinks of our prescription service.
