If there is one thing that you want, when you go into a Drag Store, it is QUALITY. You want Quality in all Drugs and Chemicals; Quality in all prescription work; Quality in every thing that has to do with medicina.

Is it not so!

•

Certainly! There can be no question about it! That is why our trade is zo large. It is a recognized fact that our label on a bottle of medicino stamps it with Quality, because it never goes out on any bottle or box of medicine that does not possess Quality.
