COLUMBUS ENQUIRER-SUN, SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 10, 188ft. 13 DRUG MD Trade of the Second Healthiest City on the Continent. Colunibu* the Center of a I*rg* Jnhbtnpr nanlum*. The Push mid Knew ofOnr Drag Store Pro- prletoin—Circle of Trade Extending Into Nmt Territory—The Enterprislng Men Who do the Drug: !)aftiae*N of the City. Although Columbus ranks ns the second Wealthiest city on the continent, it is, neverthe less, the centre of a large jobbing trade for the sale of drugs and all goods used for medical pur poses. As in many other leading lines of busi ness, however, its prestige is due to the push and enterprise of our merchants who handle such articles and to its geographical advantages more than its near vicinity to consumers. A canvass of the situation develops the fact that the result of trade for the past year has been more satisfactory to jobbers than any previous year for some time. Prices have shown more regularity, hence goods were handled with less risk. The average prices, however, were lower than in 1885. i There was also greater caution in buying stocks, which enabled jobbers to keep on a more secure basis, and rendered them con- ■ servative about granting credits. The result of ! the latter course was to diminish losses from bad debts, and to some extent lessen expenses, that always show a high percentage when there is a strong competition among dealers, to secure buyers for goods with which they are over- ' stocked. But while there was less eagerness to sell goods, the general aggregate of business was jfhUy up to that of last year. This may be chiefly ! attributed to a material increase in new ac counts, opened with customers in sections where Columbus has not heretofore sent her goods and some of the usual trading sections have increased their purchases to a fair extent. It is a fine trading section for Columbus in south- | west Georgia, southeast Alabama, Florida, and during the ensuing year a strong effort will be made to obtain control of the largest part of it, : as well as the trade in other directions. Our job- j hers never fail in their efforts to secure trade and | it is scarcely necessary to say that they will be | successful in the future. There are several drug establishments in Co lumbus that do not make pretensions to whole sale houses, but do a large wholesale business. The representative drug men of the city are in eluded in the notices which follow. BRANNON & CARSON leaders of the Brag Business in Middle Georgia. Their Wholesale and Retail Department*. Gentlemen Who Compose the Firm and Those in Their Employ. Columbus has a wholesale and retail drug Arm, Brannon A Carson, of which any southern city might well be proud, not only on account of its mastodon dimensions, but on aooount of its well -earned reputation extending over three states, JFor promptness, fair dealing, and unalloyed busi ness integrity. Some of the largest wholesale Bouses north and south retain their custom be cause men find it profitable to deal with them, while at the same time these customers know that these houses never swindled them, simply because they never have a chance. In this class Brannon A Carson have never been placed, •even by their enemies, If they have any. Both members of the firm bear the same reputation in business circles that they do in private life, the reputation of being men who prize principle above money,and oonscienoe more than customers. Mr. A. M. Brannon, who is still a youthful loo king man, has now been successfully engaged In the drug business for thirty-five years. If he •doesn’t “know it all,” he perhaps approximates It as nearly as any other druggist In Georgia. Mr. Brannon pays special attention to the large retail business of the firm, which is increasing every day. Mr. Sam H. Williams is the prescriptionlst cand has control of that depart ment. He is an accurate and thoroughly edu. •coted pharmacist, and the high price which the firm puts upon his services and ability is attested in the fact that his employers believe, and do mot hesitate to declare, that in their opinion he has no superior anywhere. Mr. T. W. Kirksey, who was for several years the pharmacist in one of the leading drug estab lishments in Eufaula, is now with this house, and in addition to keeping books assists Mr. Williams. He is a most estimable young gentle man, reliable in each particular, and would be an acquisition to any establishment in the land. Messrs. W. F. Bullivan and W. H. Brannon, Jr., are clerks in the establishment, and it is no doubt owing much to their good looks and affable man ners that so many girlB go there far perftimerie* t toilet articles and chewing gum. They are nice, clever boys and are destined to make men of prominence. THB IMMENSE WHOLESALE and jobbing department Is in charge of Mr. R. A. <Hrson. Few men of his age have left as good a record behind them as this man has. He can look backward with piide and therefore he can look forward with hope. Youthful and ruddy, he would be taken by a stranger to be a busy clerk instead of joint proprietor in one of the largest whole sale drug houses in the south. Mr. Carson has a way of leaping at conclusions and taking snap judgments that would impress a man who did not know him as dangerous. But his immense business moves under his eye like clock work, and he never makes a mistake. Mr. Carson is not a hasty man. He is a quick man. Hastv men take risks to save time. Quick men take no risks because they need no more time than they take. Mr. Carson has managed his department so well that the retail druggists of a large area in Georgia, Florida and Alabama have ■come to look upon the firm of Brannon A Carson as a sort of Mecca far druggists, and twice a year they make a pilgrimage to Colum bus, not to touch the cold walls of a false prophet’s tomb as the Mohamedan pilgrim does in the Meooa of the east, and go away unhealed save in Imagination, but to buy the medicines fresh and pure which Brannon A Carson are shipping to remote regions every day “FOR THE HEALING OF THE NATIONS.” Several drummers employed by this firm cover the territory of three states with the sedulous regularity of a circuit rider, and their orders, to gether with the vast number that come unsolicited by mail and telegraph, cause the nine men employed by the house to have to work like they were fighting fire. In this con nection we will be pardoned for making special mention of Mr. Chas M. Law, the champion light-weight commercial tourist of this section. A cleverer young man does not live, or one who puts in more energy, vim and pluck for his house. In him they have a treasure. Perhaps ONE OF THE MAIN SECRETS of the success and popularity of this firm is the fact that by having plenty of capital to handle goods with, they are not compelled to ask any favors of manufacturers, and in fact almost dic tate their own terms, or at least do so to the same •xtent that men with the ready cosh always do. Two or three items under this head may be men tioned as illustrations cf what we Dr.:g manufacturers have what in trade parlance are called “quantity price*.” ‘‘Quantity prloee” are not far the bene- uning in the ir proscriptions. They use nothing fit of retail men who come to the manufacturers of an inferior character, oven though the mate- to buy by the wholesale, but for the bersflt of rial may be reputed purr, their chici claim being wholesale inen who come to buy by the quantity, j in the fine quality of material used and the skill “Quantity” in this connection is an intensive j and accuracy with which they are compounded, term and moans more than wholesale. Detail | They handle the very best German and French dealers buy by the wholesale; wholesale dealeis j chemicals, buy by the “quantity.” “Quantity prices,” such as Brannon A Carson and other large wholesale dealers gel, would make the ordinary small drug- tent of tbeir business They keep a Dili line of as gist think that drugs were now being munu- fresh and as superior drugs and medicines as are factured out of dirt, or, at least, that they were to be found in the city. They know that Colum- “dlrt cheap.” Another item going to show why bus is progressing and the people are progressive, hence they keep pace with all new methods, and anything to be obtained in an enterprising and first-class drug store may be had from them at the lowest prices for which they can be sold. They deal largely in perfumeries and all other toilet requisites. Their soaps are inferior to none ever brought to this market, and, like their drags, they will have none but what they know to be the best. It would be out of tbo question to enumerate the patent medicines that they keep in stock. It affords us the greatest pleasure to commend such estimable gentlemen.aud those who deal with them may implicitly rely on what they say, and that the articles are exactly as rep- Brannon & Carson can afford to sell drugs so low is the fact that their bills are discounted by the manufacturers, because they are paid in cash as soon as the goods are received. A third instance of the advantage they possess over the ordinary druggist, is that all patent medicine men grant rebates to buyers by the quantity, the freight being paid entirely by the manufacturer, thus en abling Brannon & Carson and other large dealers to sell patent medicines at the same prices charged in New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia or at the manufactories themselves. It le therefore patent and needless of argument that the retail druggists of this and adjoining resented, states can find no better market for the purchase of drugs than Columbus, and no better firm from whom to get them than Brannon & Carson. 1 This fact is being learned, realized and acted upon by the druggists of a vast section of terrb j tory adjacent to Columbus. Their cus- ' tomers have stated voluntarily time and again that they could af- ; ford to pay even eigher prices far the goods pur- , . r. „ " * .. quarters, and have one of the best and chased from Brannon & Carson than they do, if lenient storehouses in the city. 'Their it was required of them, since the drugs pur chased from this firm have a freshness and strength which is not found in goods purchased miscellaneously, and which enables them to be kept in stock for long periods without impairing their value. Brannon & Carson are alertly aware of the causes of their enormous trade and they make it a rule and a point to keep these causes active, 1 and not to take advantage of their customers on a reputation which was won on a fair dealing that is not continued. They are, like their goods, always the same. Brannon & Carson do not flaunt a gonfalon without facts to back it. They are the banner wholesale druggists of an immense area of territory and they bid fair to pmintain their position. HALL A WHEAT.

A Brag Store That Is Complete In Every I‘nr- titular. There are no more prominent exponents of the drug business in Columbus than the firm of Gil bert & Blanchard. For a long time they did business a few doors below the Central Hotel, but now they have moved into more commodious most con- establish- ment is under the Rankin House and next door to W. J. Watt, where they have one of the finest assortments of pure drugs every brought to Co lumbus. In changing their quarters they have changed the programme of usual routine drug business, but have gone into it in a way that means success in all the word implies. They know that to command the trade they must have the goods, and there is probably not a finer or better selection of drugs and medicines in the state tliau i3 to be found at IMPORTERS AND JOBBERS OF II Gilbert* Blanchard’s, and they are sold at such ! » breech loader with pro- prices that makes competition a secondary con sideration. Their stock of drugs embraces the best goods manufactured and they will have none other. They keep a full line of patent medicines that are recognized standard goods. Their stock of perfumery, soaps, toilet articles and things of that kind is full and complete. In thet they have a first-class drug store in the frill > ignificanee of he term and ore determined that no house in Co- ColumbuB is characteristic far young men of ! lumbus shall excel them in the quality and price pluck and energy. Some of the greatest institu- of their goods. tions in this city owe their prominence to young men who were not afraid to work. Among all these there are no two who are more assiduously devoting themselves to their business than Messrs. Hall A Whoat, druggists and pharma cists, at 1010 Broad street. They have Just begun the drug business at this place, though it is an old drug stand, between the Central Hotel and the Rankin House. Though they have scarcely been opened ten days, it is already one of the most handsome in the city, and they intend to make it Just as reliable os it is pretty. A word about these young men will not be out of place. Mr. E. M. Wheat carries into his busi ness several years’ experience in some of the most prominent drugstores of the state. Though a young man, he is well veroed in medicine in all its phases, and there is not a more competent pharmacist in the sonth. He understands what and when to buy, and the stock now in their es tablishment evince* this beyond all peradven- ture. Coluw buz does not possess a more esti mable young man, and his word is his bond. Mr. Harry Hall is a young man of sterling busi ness qualifications, and is in every sense of the word an honorable young man in whom confi dence may be placed without any fear of betray ing it. Combined with these qualifications Messrs. Hall A Wheat have the capital, the energy and the experience far making one of the finest, best and most reliable drug stores in the south, and they are going to do it. Everything in this drug store is newborn cellar to garret, and they can show all and a great deal more than they advertise. All these goods that are now seen in their mag nificent establishment were bought for cash. They make it a point to discount all bills and give their customers the benefit of the lowest prices. They handle nothing bnt the finest quality of goods, and deal with only first-class houses. In talking with one of the firm, he re marked : “We want it disttetly understood that we have ‘come to stay,’ and will maintain the motto: ‘Integrity, accuracy and cleanliness.’ ” This drug store has the finest and most modern fixture*, especially the prescription and manufac. taring departments, in the south. It is the only entirely new stock of drugs that has been in this city for twenty-five years, and the peoplo should appreciate this and buy where they know they are getting fresh goods, and at low prices. An investigation will convince any one tl at they han dle fine goods only. Everything^is kept clean, and they purchase no job samples. They had rather not make profits quite so large than to in jure their reputation by selling shoddy goods. They have the largest assortment of tooth, hair, nail, shaving, barbers, hat, cloth, shoe and bath brushes ever brought to this city, and as they were purchased since the reduction of tariff on that particular line of goods, they are in a position to offer superior inducements. Phy sicians need not go to the trouble and expense of There is one thing that is especially commenda ble in this firm and that is the reliability with which their business is conducted. They have none but the best pharmacist, and all care and pains arc taken in compounding prescriptions, and they make it a point to use nothing bnt the very best material for this purpose. In addition to the very large stocks of drugs and medicine* which they carry, they have a nice assortment of toilet articles, embracing everything to be faund in that line. It is a com plete drug store and owned by two as respon sible and worthy gentlemen as honor Columbus with their citizenship. The Enquirer-Sun doe* not hesitate to cordially commend them to the public. A St CCES8. Perhaps no two young men in the state of Georgia have done so much in the commercial world in so short a time and still maintained 1 their Integrity, as Evans A Howard. They seem I to have donned seven-league boots in the race 1 toward success and fortune. They are both thor oughly educated men and are thus better equipped than the average pharmacist for the Latin root* and intricacle* of the drug business. Though, neither member of the firm is over twenty-five, they are as steady and assiduous as men of fifty. They will be enormously wealthy men if they live to middle Ufa. These young gentlemen are proprietors of the large retail drug house at 1892 Broad street and of the “Central Drug Store” on Brood street, near Eleventh. The former store is in charge of Mr. Oliver, a thorough and accurate prescriptionist, and one of the best liked young men in Columbus. The proprietors and two other clerks have immediate charge of their elegantly fitted up drug empo rium, the “Central Drug Store.” Both of their establishments are popular with the people of Columbus and the surrounding country. They sell the best drugs at the lowest rates, and their clerks are prompt, attentive and accurate. Two more thoroughly equipped, better conducted and popular drug stores than those of Evans & Howard cannot be found anywhere. Their friends and enemies alike make this con cession, and they may and must, far one cannot argue against a success. THE CITY BRI G STORE, m flint Helps I It is quite probable that Columbus does not : claim a more enterprising and energetic young ! merchant than Mr. George A. Bradford, of the I City Drug Store. In the management of this . establishment lie has demonstrated that he fully j understands how a first-class drug store should ; be kept, and he keeps his just that way. He is i comparatively a young man, but lias the expe- j rienee of many years in the drug business and i has put that experience to the best practical use. sending north for their supplies; they can show a I Tb<j oonsequence is that hie drug store is the stock of hospital supplies, surgeon sponges, [ equal of any in tho city.

Treman’s surgical instrument*, etc., equal to any New York store, and telegraphic and mail orders tor these goods will receive im mediate attention. An extra supply of bath towels, sponges and charnel*, which cannot fail to please any one in sizes, price and quality. The prescription department is attended at all hours by a liconard and registered pharmacist, and has already established a reputation far a steady and fully competent prescriptioniat, which and talent that can be obtained in compounding prescriptions, and every means are used to make no mistakes. In a word, be understands his busi- | ness eo thoroughly that his store is one of the , most popular in the city. I Mr. Bradford oarrie* a full line of drugs of all * kinds and any medicine that may be wanted. He has all the leading patent medicines and is pre- j pared to fill all orders promptly. In addition to hi* large stock of drugs and medicines, he carrie* a very fine assortment of perfumeries and toilet articles.

A Popularity Extending Over the Spare of Half a Centary It would be extremely difficult to name a branch of business more important in its relar tions to the general public than that devoted to compounding prescriptions for the ilia of life. The drug business is something which demands ! on the part of those engage ! in it the very high- ! est business qualifications. So that when a house , has enjoyed a liberal patronage and popularity for a long term of years, it is an evidence of the j fact that its management has been characterized 1 by integrity, ability and good judgment. Such are the circumstances connected with the drug firm of Messrs. Robert Carter & Son, which wa« established in this city nearly half a century ago, daring which period it ha* always held a foremost and prominent position in the trade. Mr. Robert Carter, sr., ha* been in buntaess since 1830,And for the past twenty years his son, Robert Ci.rtc., jr., w.;a t^ii* c j lishment. These gentlemen make a specialty of . carefully and judiciously selecting material for tion, and in fact anything that ought to be found in a first-class drug store can be had at the City Drug Store, and Mr. Bradford deals only in the very best goods. One of the features of this establishment is the i fine quality of cigars which are kept, aud tho manner of keeping them. Imported cigars are kept hermetically sealed in order to retain the flavor. He has both foreign and domestic cigars, andean suit the taste or inclination of any who wish a good smoke. There are many other , things too numerous to mention, but there is no place in the city where drugs and medicines are sold at a lower margin, when the same class of goods are considered. All who pur chase from the “City Drug Store” may be sure of a hearty welcome, of fair dealing, of an honorable guarantee that everything sold is just exactly what it proposes to be, and of the lowest price for which similar goods can be sold anywhere. The proprietor of this house ha* risen to success because of his perfect knowledge of business, hi* skill in baying ja*t such goods as are adapted to the use of his customers, and at such figures that he can sell at the lowest price*.

Meyer, at 10-1 Broad street, fit you out with a pair of shoes and you will certainly agree with us that there are artists in the shoe trade. Among the boot and shoe men of Columbus none is more favorably known than Wm. Meyer, who, for many year*, ha* been engaged first as maker and then as manufacturer and dealer in boots and shoes. “Who made your boots?”used to be the question among young men, and the answer was almost invariably “Wm. Moyer,” which illustrates the high repute in which his work ho* ever been held among those who de lighted to sport first-class boot* and shoes. Well, year by year Meyer’s little shop has grown until it ha* at last develojaxl into a flrst-cla*s shoe house, where all classes may be fitted out in the best stylo for tho least money. When we say least money we do not mean eheap shoe*, far he makes a specialty of fine goods. He keeps work from the celebratod houses of Miller A Ober, and from J. S. Turner, and other leading manufacturers, who make the best gents’ and boys’ shoos known to the trade. He has Burt A Packard’s shoes at $3.75, which is one of the greatest bargains ever offered here. He has u shoe for $8.00 mode especially for him. Mon and boys can find any thing they want in this establishment. Mr. Meyer is solo agent for Bennett A Barnard’s j shoes, a»d nothing is superior to them. He has I ladies’ shoes from 00.30 down to any prioj thnt may be wanted. In misses’ and children’s school shoos his stock is entirely complete. His spring i heels can not be excelled. In fact, there is noth- | ing in the shoe line but what Mr, Meyer can fill j any order ot supply any customer. ; During the seas n now opening he will carry a larger stock of Indite’ hand and machine-sewed boots than ever heretofore, all first-class in style and quality. Meyer is not only a first-class work man, but an honest and conscientious dealer, aud strives on all occasions to give satisfaction in goods and prices. Messrs. H. W. Garrett and C. H. Harrison are with him, and two more courteous clerks do not live in Columbus. Believe What ne Tells Yon. The oldest harness anrl saddle house in the city is that of which Mark A. Bradford is propri etor, though he is by no means an old man. It was established by Mr. Mlddlebrook in 1839, and has been first-class from that day until the prer enttime. Mr. Bradford makes hand-sewed har ness a specialty, and a harness turned out by his workmen is superior to anything that can be ob tainod in this section. He keeps the largest stock of harness, saddles, bridles and gear of any house in the city. He is as honest as the day is long, and when he recommends a piece of work it is all right. He keeps only first-class material. No More Neuralgia or torturing pain. No more nervous head ache, earache, toothache, if you will use Jordan’s Joyous Julep.
