SAFETY
Is an Important Element
In Drug Store Service
There is no other line of business which demands the same
care as the sale of drugs. This carefulness not only refers
to an effort to avoid errors, but it includes eare in buying,
handling and, selling of everything a druggist has in stock.
The important mission of the druggist is to safeguard the
interests of the public. In order to accomplish this, con-
stant care must be executed. We are careful, and we solicit
the trade of persons who appreciate the fact that care
counts.
