Good Advice on Buying Drug Store Goods
?'BUY THE JE5 13 S T??
The Best is always the cheapest. Cheap goods any?
where are not cheap at any price. But, if you are
not a judge, you must rely upon the judgment of
others. We have built up the largest Drug Business
in this locality by selling only goods of the highest
character and never abusing the confidence of those
placing reliance in our judgment.
