We want you to know that we appreciate your trade
and that we are constantly endeavoring to merit
your continued favor.
Success in the drug business, largely, and rightly,
depends upon public confidence and therefore a
growing trade is, in a sense a personal compliment
to the druggist.
Our business grows steadily all the while, and this
growth is we believe, due to the effort constantly
made to conserve the interest of our customers.
We trust that your experience in trading here has
been such as to justify you in giving this store the
preference whenever possible, for we are continu-
ally striving to be worthy the honor of being
"your druggist."
