OUR DRUG BUSINESS
IS OUR CHIEF BUSINESS
You’ve heard that old gag about a modern drug
store being a business which sells everything but drugs.
Well, in these modern days customers expect to
find more than just drugs in a drug store, and we try
to have just what they want, whether it be cough
drops, cosmetics or a cup of coffee.
But first of all, compounding prescriptions and
caring for the health of our customers is our first line
of business. This is why we keep a registered drug
gist on duty in our store at all times. This is why we
try to keep all the latest drugs and medicines which
your physician needs and prescribes.
Yes, we have anything you expect to find in a
modern drug store, but the drug business is our first
line and chief business. Remember this when your
doctor prescribes.
