The New Drug Store in Wood
bury Building- Opened
to the Public
ONE OF HANDSOMEST IN IOWA
C. J. Lander, the Old Reliable Drug­
gist, Ready for the Trade at His New
Location—An Ideal Store in an Ideal
Place—The Public Invited to Call
and Inspect It—Beautiful Fixtures.
Charles J. Lander, who lias been a
I leading druggist in Marshalltown tor
the last forty-three years, has thrown
|open the doors of what is one of the
prettiest drug stores in the state of
Iowa. After the fire which consumed
his stock, three years ago, ho took
temporary quarters In the Pilgrim
Hotel and awaited an opportunity to

I, ,, datlon of the banks came, it eft open

just the location he was looking for, a
corner drug store.
a new location. When the consoll-
In remodeling, Mr. "under has not
stopped at expense, the very beat of
everything having been installed. The
ceilings and side walls of the lmv
store are of steel and the floor is tiled
in a handsome pattern, while all the
furniture is in the mission finish.
One of the principal features of this
handsome store Is the new "Icelcws
Soda Fountain," something new or» th
market, and the only one in the state
of 'Iowa. This fountain surpasses in
size and beauty anything ever installed
in Marshalltown. In the basement is
another new feature, an electric auto
matic carbonator, which has a capacity
to carbonate fifteen gallons of wator
per hour. Mr. Lander has in charge an
experienced soda dispenser, Mr. R. S.
Brantley, who will have charge of this
fountain.
The prescription department is a
model of neatness, and differs from the
ordinary, not only in size, but in light.
A large window forms the east side,
which makes it as light as the balance
of the store, a very desirable feature
but seldom found In drug stores. This
department will be at all times In
charge of a comeptent pharmacist, Mr.
J. A. Turner, and only 'the freshest and
purest of drugs will be compounded.
•Mr. Lender has all of the old prescrip
tions on file dating back to the time
of -the old Dr. Gllck store up to the
present time, a period of almost fifty
years. This department in the future,
as well as in the past, will have the
most careful management and atten
tion.
•In addition, Mr. Lander will carry a
complete line of druggists' sundries,
perfumes, toilet articles, candles and
cigars, in fact anything to be found in
a first class, up-to-date drug store.
Long years of experience in the drug
business qualifies Mr. Lander to serve
the trade to the best advantage and if
courteous treatment combined with
honeat goods at a reasonable price aria
appreciated, this new corner drug store
should become popular from the, be
ginning.

The Way To Correct Blem
ishes and Wrinkles.
If Nature has been unkind to you
and left you with the possessor ot
pimples, moles, warts, superfluous hair,
freckles, rough skin, large pores,
blackheads, sallow skin, premature
grey hair, wrinkles or other things I
might mention, or if your figure is not
what you would like it is possible you
can get a remedy for all these.
Every woman wants her personal at
tractions developed. It is natural that
she wants admiration and without the
perfection which she should attain, she
will never get the desired admiration
or ever be the center of attraction.
With a clear skin and a figure that
radiates beauty, a woman Is always in
demand every place.
If your face or figure need attention
of any kind, and you want to rid your
self of the trouble, Del Mosnart, Aus
tin Sta., Chicago, 111., has a supply of
Beauty Secret receipts for the per
fection of most all troubles. They re
quest that you wrtte for them. They
are a selection from the world's mas
ters of beauty. Your own druggist
will fill them for you tho some can
