War is a truly terrible tragedy
that has plagued man throughout
the ages, but war has brought
great advances in medicine and
. has in this un-
usual way aid-
ed the human
race.
This started
rather simply
in Biblical
times when
Moses com-
manded per-
sonal hygiene among his men. It
has continued through the cen-
turies with advances against
such diseases as Typhoid Fever
and Malaria. The terrible
wounds of war have brought
forth many specialized advances
in the field of surgery and plas-
tic surgery in particular.
In the 20th Century, military
medicine has made tremendous
strides, especially in the use of
whole blood and blood plasma
and also to the large scale pro-
duction of many of the modern
wonder drugs such as penicillin.
The wonders of modem ad-
vancements in medicine rank
high in the list of the many
achievements of man. Today we
can expertly compound your doc-
tor’s prescription. Call us —we
stand ready to serve you and
your family.

What Have You
Got To Lose By
Opening Up A
CHECKING
ACCOUNT?
A WALLETFUL OF CASH, PERHAPS
TROTTING ALL OVER TOWN
TO PAY YOUR BILLS
But if you pay by check, life becomes easier, less com-
plicated. You have a permanent record of expense for
tax purposes and positive proof of payment. You can
pay your bills and do your banking with one trip to the
mailbox.
The cost is low or there may be no charge depending
upon your balance. Talk to us.
Nothing. Until you add people.
Then nothing's right. Whoever
heard of only one electrical outlet
way down at one end of a long
wall? What a way to build a family
room. Or a dining room. Or any
room. Where's a teenager supposed
to plug in her stereo? Mom her
electric buffer and vacuum? Dad,
his TV? The twins, the electric train
Santa sent them? Not to mention
the electric corn popper. The radio.
Four reading lamps. The electric
guitar. And the baby's eternal
vaporizer. All together there are 166
things that plug in. And a room
where things can't turn on, light up,
tune in, sound off, go round, heat
up, cool off, you wouldn't wish on a
dog! (Need add-on-outlet advice?

Company office nearest you.)
