and business that can be done without a
jury has been disposed of, the Court
will take a recess until the second
Monday in August thereafter. Jurors

What We
Have Done,
With Your
Help
Some eight or nine years ago
we opened our doors to the New
nan public in a store-room 18x66
feet. We had only about $500 to
nut into business, but believed we
knew what the people wanted;
we knew we were capable of serv
ing them properly and promptly;
so we began. Since then our
every aim has been to give the
people their full money's worth
to give them the best drug store
we are capable of conducting to
make the place attractive.
To-day we are occupying some
thing over 60,000 square feet of
lloor space, operate our own elec
tric light plant, our own machin
ery for manufacturing ice cream,
etc., and are paying taxes on
more property than any other
drug store in Coweta county.
» We have always stood for prog
ress, and the pace we have set
has been hard to follow. New
nan now has the best drug stores
of any city of its size in the State.
We are largely responsible for it.
It is with a reasonable amount
of pride that we call attention to
these facts.
We thank you for the patron
age which has made this possible.
