Up Goes Drugs-
- The Ph :, adelphia Record says ilia*,
sinco the passage of the McKinley
biM, the prices of most of the drugs
bavo gone up sky high iu that city.
About the only drug that is not di
rectly affected by the b :, l is quinine,
and that commodity is on tho free
list. There ; s not a druggist in the
city with any considerable stock that
has not been enriched. The same
paper continues in its scusational way
by stating:
“A visit to several drug Btorcs
showed that prices hod beeu elevated
since the passage bi” from 19 to 33
par cent. This is true of every article
sold in a drug store that comes from
foreign lands. The domestic drugs
will bo influenced indirectly, because
by a general uuderstnndiug among
druggists the increase in prices will
bo nveragol and distributed among
tho different foreign ami domestic
articles.”

We'd like you to remember one importaat
filet concerning our use of tho word “itr-'
gnin." Perhaps you've noticsd that there
arc some concerns that never sell anytkilg
executing “bargains?'-' They use the word
at nil times and under nil circumstance*. No
matter what they sell, no matter what the
quality of the article, no matter what the
p -ice—its a “bargain" just tbo une—
th ,t is, if you're willing to take the dealers
won! for it. That isn’t the sort of bargain
v.e arc about to refer to, and what this little
preparatory chat has been leading yon up to.
Buyers who visit our stores will leara the
liberal definition of the word “bargain.' 1
