CHESTER Mr.. f. w. Pierce has Just
opened drug store near the depot
which deserves mention in detail, for it
overtops in richness of material, beauty
of design and completeness in appoint
ment, any business establishment in this
town and we doubt if it is surpassed by
any drug store in the State. have not
collected the items so that can frame a
description of this beautiful palace of
trade, in mechanical phraseology. There
fore must speak somewhat specifically
and in general terms. Ascending an
easy flight of steps-say four or five
we land on the piazza which covers the
entire front of the store, we step along
and turn the silver door knob and meet
either the courteous proprietor or Doc
tor Eddy, whose Office is here located,
who rise to explain, in modest accent,
that what we SO admiringly behold is the
result of long and cold winters work
by strong and competent force of work.
men, cost being disregarded. We are
told that black walnut, ash and chestnut
compose the wood work. We see with
out being told, that these woods are
brought into most pleasing combinations.
To Harrison Cram belongs the credit of
designing and executing the elegant up
right cases, rich, solid and unique in de-
sign, and if we mistake not, Mr.. Cram
had general supervision of all the car
penter work. The counters are models
of beauty and indicate the hand of true
genius in their construction. The coun-
ter show cases are all of fine plate glass
set in silver frames and are of most gen.
erous capacity. The prescription de-
partment strikes the eye most favorably,
it is really, the finishing flourish to the
whole work. The laboratory, opening out
at one corner of the store, possesses every
considerable convenience On the whole,
the store has most superb look, and
filed as it is with stock of goods of a
grade and variety seldom found outside
cities, the town of Chester and adjoin-
ing towns, cannot fail to appreciate such
progressive movement in business cir
cles. Mr.. Pierce's lavish outlay of capt.
tai, his character as an honorable bust
ness man. and his public spirit, is mu-
nifiicent endowment to the town of Ches-
ter, and We hope he may never regret
his investment. .s...
