GREATEST IN ALL THE SOUTH;
IS JACOBS’ PHARMACY, HOME
OF BEST IN MODERN IDEAS
You Can Find Things
Here That Are No
where Else.
THE BIRTHPLACE
OF CUT'PRICES
Splendid Imported Holiday
Gifts Best Ever
Brought Here.
When a man come* to Atlanta from
New York to buy something because
he can get better goodn and for lea*
money than he ran In Ills home city. It
sound* rather well for Atlanta, doesn't
It?
That pounds strange to Atlanta peo
ple, and It would be ridiculed by New
Yqrk people, especially If this particu
lar man *ald that which he bought In
Atlanta wa* better and cheaper than
the same thing In John Wanamaker's.
But It is true nevertheless. This
man, a traveling man. has just gone
home and with him he took c<Ai*ldtr-
abla presents for Christmas. Home-
thing like shipping coal to Newcastle
or beer to Milwaukee, Isn’t It?
Sometimes people In a town have
something that I* really rctnarkahlo
and don’t know It. Sometimes It tuk-*s
an outsider to come here, find It out
and talk about It.
This Atlanta place in question that
caused the visitor to be loud In his
praise. Is Jacobs' Pharmacy.
Everybody knows all about Jacobs’
Pharmacy, you might say. but it took a
visitor to And out a good thing—some
thing that put Wanamakcr’s to the
bad In some respects.
All Kinds of Presents.
Of course you can’t buy a horse and
buggy or a piano at Jacobs* Pharmacy
and the customer wasn't looking for
things of tills sort. He was looking for
Christmas presents, and after nosing
around Jacobs' Pharmacy a short time
he decided to spend his money In At
lanta Instead of waiting to get home.
Never saw a New York drummer do a
thing like this for his health, did you?
No, It W’us purely for financial reasons.
Now, tills little incident of the wise
customer always on the lookout »o
save money Is the reason for this story.
AtlutUu people have something they
are not fully familiar with—have some
thing that has New York beaten a
block, and anything that beats New
York a block must be something worth
knowing about.
hirst of all, Jacobs' PJiarmucy was
the first In the South, and one of the
first In the entire United States to In
augurate cut prices. That's why It is
said with good reason that Jacobs’
Pharmacy Is the "birthplace of cut
prices."
Largest in the World.
Seems strange that Atlanta should
have the largest retail drug store <n
tin* world, doesn’t It? And yet that Is
a fact. How many Atlanta peoplo
knew they had something which was
the largest In the world?
The customer from New York found
out some things about tills place that
others didn't know.
f course there are drug stores in
the country that do more business—
that Is, sell more goods—but for no
other reason than that they have more
people to sell to. Hut none of them
has a better stock—one that Is n
varied and one that contains almost
any remedy or preparation known to
the civilized world—than Ims Jacobs'
Pharmacy.

do It will not hurt to tell them again,
that Jacobs’ Pharmacy has a manu
facturing laboratory which employs
thirty people. And nil day long these
people, with the aid of the most mod
ern machinery known to the drug-mtx-
er’s art, are making pharmaceutical
preparations, pills, capsules, powders,
salts—In fact, anything needed In the
drug line. 'Not buying them already
made In Hoboken or some other place.'
but manufacturing them right here In
Atlanta.
It Is also true that this famous At
lanta Pharmacy has the'largest retail
drug store In the country and for hun
dreds of miles about Atlanta do orders
come dally by the thousands through
the malls to be filled.
THs Mail Order Business.
It takes help to attend to these or
ders and because of this the entire
third floor over Nos. 6 and 8 Marietta
street Is devoted exclusively to the
all order buslnfss.
The second floor over tbeso two num
bers In devoted entirely to the manu
facturing laboratory, while the second
floor over Nos. 8 and 10 Marietta street
Is devoted to rubber goods exclusively,
and this stock Is one that Includes
everything Imaginable and one thnt I*
hardly equaled anywhere In the coun
try.
Speaking of what that customer
found In the way of Christmas pres
ents, he said at the time that the pieces
of art work and other things he bought
were 20 per cent cheaper than the same
thing* in a grade not so fine In Wana-
tnaker’s and Macy's In New York. That
* where the birthplace of cut prices
omes In.
This pharmacy was founded In 1804
by Dr. James A. Taylor and was taken
charge of by Dr. Joseph Jacobs In 1884.
In 189.1 Charles A. Smith became asso
ciated with Dr. Jacobs.
There I* a reason why Atlantn has a
store of this kind that Is blocks ahead*
of anything else. It was Intended that |
this hould be the case.
Evsry Nsw Ides.
Several times a year Mr. Smith takes I
trips to New York. Chicago, Boston,'
Philadelphia and other large cities of*
the country and he makes It a point to
visit what are supposed to be ttm most
up-to-date and modern drug stores In]
the country. If there Is anything Iwj
thinks can he Improved upon, he makes !
a note am* soon after he arrives back In '
Atlanta that Improvement Is made.
Dr. Jacobs does the same kind of
traveling In Europe, and as a result,
both members of this enterprising firm
see that no stores In the world get
ahead of Atlanta and Jacobs* Phnr-
ncy.
You might not believe It If told that
j a man tried to get a cake of soap In
many of the prominent New York drug
stores, couldn't and had to wait until he
got to Atlanta. Rut this actually was
the case. The soap, however, was a
very expensive kind Imported from Eu
rope* imd the New York peoplo laughed
when told by the man that he knew he
could get It at Jacobs* Pharmacy down j
Jn Atlanta.
If you can’t get It here In New
York." they said, "you never will find
It In this country."
He did, though. He found It at 8
and S .Marietta street, Jacobs' Pharma
cy, the Hirthplnce of Cut Prices.
Spltndid Importations.
Regarding those Christmas presents
the bargain seeking customer bought.
It might be well to state thnt he se
lected them from what I* the largest
importation of art goods from abroad
thnt ever came through the custom
house. There were two ^olld car loads
of these gotids from Germany. Switzer
land and Italy and It took Dr. Jacobs
over three months to select them. Bx-
• quisle* marble miniatures from Italy.
1 biunses, docks and other things along
this line that are not now and never
>ere produced In this country. And
with it all this customer found the
prices 25 per cent lower than the found
them In the famous New* York stores.
It I* doubtful If there Is a larger Im-
!** r;ed nrt stock in the country today
than that to be ound In Jacobs* Phar
macy. |
Hut with all th * magnificent stock of
goods that makes the Interior of the
big store look like a department or
Jewelry store, It is the drug business
that those who have made Jacobs'
Pharmacy famous are proud of. In
that store Is to be found the best and
most varied and largest assortment of
drugs to be found anywhere In the
South and nowhere In the country Is
there any better.
The' prescription department, where
these drugs are compounded for the
sick,Is a feature of this big business i?y
Itself. There is a large force of clerks
nt work there dally and one good thing
about this department Is that these
clerks don’t know* a thing about the
other branches of the business. If you
happened In Jacobs’ Pharmacy and
chanced to ask a prescription clerk If
he was In the front part of the store,
the price of a certain work of art or a
bottle of patent medicine or a cake of
soap, he wouldn’t know any more
It thun you do.
All Are Specialists.
That Isn’t what Jacobs* Pharmacy
pays him for and he Is not expected to
know* any prices or anything else about
the business except thnt part where
prescriptions are compounded. These
prescription clerks remain In their own
department and they attend strictly to
their own business. As a result they
are not interrupted and consequently
they give better work and more care
ful attention to the compounding of
prescriptions.
This Is something else this bargain-
seeking customer looked Into before he
puld his hill.
Now, In order to deliver nil these
goods that are sold It Is necessary for
considerable help and equipment. Of
course Uncle Sam delivers thousands of
dollars' worth of goods a week through
the malls, but even at that It takes a
large force of hands to get these things
ready for Unde Sam.
In addition there are four delivery
mgons, ten bicycle messengers and a
motor cycle deliver)*.
Anti this business Is not only a mam
moth one In the big store at Nos. 6, 8
and 10 Mariettu street. So large Is the
business of the Jacobs' Pharmacy that
another store In Atlanta Is necessary to
omniodate the business. Everybody
knows where it la—at Whitehall and
Alabama streets. And besides this
there is another one over In Birm
ingham.
If It was worth the while of a wise
customer from the North, bent on sav
ing a dollar or two, to visit Jacobs’
Pharmacy In Atlanta and find out how
this Atlanta institution had John Wan-
a maker’s benten n block, might It not
be worth your while?
It’s necessary sometimes for an out
sider to come and tell you what a good
thing you have.

"Sleeping Beauty and the Beast.”
It’s too near Christmas to have a
grouch on, and after the first five min
utes the audience at the Grand Wed
nesday night decided to go ahead and
enjoy the show anyway. • And If you
look at It that way, why. It Isn’t so
bad.
Of course It Is like a ghost of the
original extravaganza, rather thin In
spots, rather weak In music, negative
In other qualities. But there are half a
dozen good vaudeville people In the
cast who forget all about the play and
do some really clever stunts at odd
times. The woman's brass band Is a
winner and the audience kept the first
old man standing on one leg down
stage for half an hour before the band
was permitted to toot Us last bar. it
w*as hard on the old man, and hard on
the band—but the boys upstairs liked It.
"The Sleeping Beauty and the
Beast" will give a matinee Thursday
afternoon and close Its engagement on
Thursday night. G. D. G.
At the Bijou.
"When Knighthood Was In Flower"
it pleasing large nudlences this week
at .the Bijou. Miss Anna Day In the
role of the Princess Mar>' Tudor is
meeting all expectations In the dif
ficult role. Throughout the five acts
she Is the saucy, mischievous and win
some Mar)*. Her work Is full of sur
prises and decidedly original. Miss Day
Is young and magnetic.
The play is beautifully staged from
the opening scene to the last act and
the costuming la remarkable for Its
leanllness and good taste.
"When Knighthood Was In Flower”
should do a splendid business this
week, despite the fact that the weather
is bad and Atlantans are rather busy
with their Christmas shopping.
Full of fun, bright music and sclntll
luting with color Is "Me, Him and I,’
which conies to the Bijou theater for a
week’s engagement next Monday night.
Hilly Watson. Mike Kelly and Billy Ar
lington, who portray the chief charac
ter roles, are certainly comedians of
the first water, and they are well
backed by a good company, In which
John J. McCowan is a rare character.
The play Is full of catchy music and
one of it* principal features Is a large
chorus of men and girls. The latter
are handsomely costumed and add a
pleasing variety to the fun. Four mat
inees will be given next week.
Baldwin-Malvilla Stock Company.
Beginning Thursday night the play
nt the El Dorado I* the beautiful
Southern military drama, "My Ken
tucky Home," which deals with the
love of a Southern girl and a Northern
officer during the civil war.
This play Is particularly well suited
to the present cast. Miss de Vernon
Is to play Ludle. and Mr. Murdoch
takes the pan of Victor Blanchard.
Air. Barry will be seen In one of his
delightful character parts, that
Judge Carlisle, and Mr. Webb will
take the part of Middleton. Little Lot
tie Halzberg will be seen between the
acts In some new* specialties. A
of new scenei*)' has been painted for
this production and a large supply of
costumes has Just been received by
express. This play will be given on
Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights
with matinees Friday and Saturday.
“A Cerntr in jCoffts.”
Tim Murphy spent a part of nearly
evety day last summer In the great cof.
fee exchange In Hanover Square, New
York city, studying types, conditions
and local colors for his production of
"A Corner In Coffee." He learned other
things besides those he went there to
study, and declared recently that noth
ing could Induce him to comer any
thing unless It were a good play. "Of
course, that’s a speculation, hut you
can always comer the dramatist, too,
and make him deliver a happy ending.
That’s something I didn’t sec once
among those frenzied financiers."
Air. Murphy wlH be seen at the Grand
on Monday and Tuesday nights and
Tuesday matinee In "A Corner in Cof
fee.”
“Richard Mansfield.”
Coming events cast their shadows be
fore and the coming of Mansfield is
much In"evidence. At the box office
of the Grand, where the great actor Is
to appear on Thursday night, they are
preparing ft printed slip of answers to
the hundreds of questions which In
quisitors are asking at all hours of the
day. However, this very annoyance Is
a healthy, happy sign for the manage
ment. It Indicates the enthusiastic In
terest In the coming of Mansfield, who
Is known to give the finest stage rep
resentation of any artist of his gen
eration. It used to be the fashion to
look abroad to the Italian, French, Ger
man or English stages for the most fin
ished expression of the theater’s pos
sibilities. Mansfield has actually
wrenched the palm from abroad and
planted the highest standard of acting,
stage management and general artistic
liberality tore In America. His gener
ation owe him a debt of gratitude they
cannot wipe out for his untiring efforts
for a lofty, pure, literary and Inspired
stage. ' Mansfield Is accompanied by
106 people. He travels by special train
of eleven cars. He will be seen here
as the lying, bragging. lovable scamp,
"Peer Gynt," his greatest character,
which tests the full range of this great
actor’s versatility.
