Augusta a Pure Food and Products Center-Co-operation and Efficiency
One of Augusta’s Most Successful
... Wholesale Institutions
The Augusta Drug Company’s Splendid Record of Business
Success and Commercial Integrity—A Strong Concern
That Reflects Credit Upon Augusta.
One of Augusta's many large and
reliable business institutions is that
of the Augusta Drug Company, locat
ed on Jackson Street with large quar
ters and a complete line of every
thing in the drug line. It is a whole
sale firm, doing an extensive business
vlithin a radius of one hundred and
fifty miles of Augusta. The firm was
organized about fourteen years ago
With John Phinizy, president; N. L.
Vlhllett, vice-president; W. B. Marks,
manager, and John W. Holey, secre
tary. EacJj one of these gentlemen
are too well-known to the Augusta
people for comment. However, let it
be said that each is competent, re
liable and energetic.
; The board of directors consists of
some of Augusta’s most prominent
physicians, among w'honi is Dr. R. H.
Ijand. Sr., who is, no doubt, one of
the veterans of retail drugs in this
city; also Mr. Joel Smith, who is very
prominent and well-liked. With the
officers, these two gentlemen consti
tute the board of directors.
It is the only exclusive wholesale
drug business in Augusta. The pres
ent business was started May 1, 1901,
siiceeding the N. B. Willett Drug Co.,
who previously had succeeded the
Howard-Willett Drug Company. Go
ing further back, the Howard-Willett
Drug Company succeeded Howard &
Willett, and they succeeded Hemsen
«S- Wright, and they were succeeded
by Tutt & Remsen, and they were
succeeded by Dr. W. H. Tutt, the or
ganizer of the famous Tutt ldiver
Pills. From the foundation of the
firm it can be readily seen that it
has been conducted by some - ery
prominent gentlemen.
The line, as stared above, consists
of practically everything that a
Wholesale druggist can handle. They
have a complete line of surgical in
struments, crude drugs, spices, musi
cal instruments, perfumery, all sorts
ot toilette requisites, both imported
apd domestic, a hig line of cigars—
ip fact anything appropriate for a re
tail druggist to sell. Among their
customers there are many who bought
goods from the original management

Mr. John Phinizy, the present pres
ident, actively engaged in the con
duct of the management, is, as the
majority of the people of Augusta
know, a native Augustan. He has
spent practically all of his business
life in the drug business, and natural
ly knows how a concern should be
conducted successfully. It is need
less to mention the fact that Mr.
Phinizy is well-known, with an abso
lutely unstained and clean record in
the business world, and among his
employes he has successfully gather
ed a corns around him that are almost
unequalled in any line of business
All are clean cut, well qualified gen
tlemen. and one always finds courtesy
instantly upon entering the doors of
the Augusta Drug Company.
A Stockholder’s Example
(From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.)
Street ear passengers must be in
terested, if nothing more, in an ex
ample set by ex-Governor David R.
Francis of Missouri, in dealing with a
situation which countless humble pat
rons have felt themselves impotent to
cope with.
Although his own corporation has
issued a warning to the public: "Never
chase a street car; there’ll be another
along in a minute,” the former gov
ernor, after having the door of one
car slammed in his face, pursued it
to the next stop, arriving just in time
to have the door slammed once more.
An ordinary straphanger might have
given up then and sought relief in vain
vociferation, but emboldened perhaps
by his being a stockholder and a per
son of consequence, Mr. Francis
promptly resented the rebuff by
smashing the glass of the door with
his cane. The car was then in motion
but, undaunted still, he pursued, beat
ing it to the third stop, where he
awaited it, puffed aboard and handing
his card to the conductor said: “When
you report this tell your superintend
ent I did It Intentionally.” He then
dropped his fare in the box and passed
inside.
Ordinary passengers will, however,
do well to hesitate before emulating
Stockholder Francis’ example. Instead
of aweing the conductor with their
cards they might find themselves
journeying to the police station. Yet
the Francis outbreak may not be with
out its beneficial effects. With all
regard for the necessity of making
schedules, there are many instances
where a callous disregard for the con
venience of the publis is shown in the
slamming of the doors. It may seem
a trivial matter impersonally, but
when experienced by a stockholder it
appears to he Just as irritating as ii
to a humble straphanger. It might
he difficult to formulate a rule to
cover the case, but a littel common
sense and consideration would save th >
glass doors from assault by the canes
of stockholders and the temper of the
patient public.
Everybody Rich in Kansas
(From the New York Times.)
Everybody knows that Secretary Co
burn is responsible for everything ag
ricultural which happens in Kansas.
Yesterday Coburn of Kansas retired
upon his masterpiece and the United
States wishes him joy in his retire
ment. He says a good word for his
successor, whom he vouches for as
competent, but it will be many a year
before he scores such a triumph as
Coburn’s last crop. The farmers of
his happy state are now' figuring what
they will do with $100,000,000. The
first quarter of it they owe the banks,
but that, is not the fault of Coburn
or his crop. The second quarter they
owe the shopkeepers. The third quar
ter they propose to pay upon account
o ftheir mortgages. Ton millions wIV.
go for 10,000 automobiles, making
60,000 In the state. And $15,000,000
will be saved.
