Where Quality Abides
Our care for the quality of our goods extends
not only to drugK but to all sundries and aide
lines carried. The quality of the drugs han-
dled is, however, the distinguishing mark of
a good drugstore, and we are justified in em-
phasizing the rare excellence of our stock in
this respect.
In filling prescriptions we provide drugs of
known purity and potency and compound
them by the most scientific methods. Our
service is, we believe, exceptional and our
prices arc reasonable.
