THE DErG TRADE,

THE DErG TRADE,
Of Albany, is represented by three
frst-elsss establishments, and, by COM
moE report and the general appear
ance, as indicated by well stocked stores
and liberal advertising, this branch
Of business Is in thriving condition.
At the corner of Ellsworth and First
streets We find Mr.. r. Saltmarsh, pre-
prietor of the
CITY DRUG STORE,
who has been ia the drug business in
Albany since 1870. Mr.. S3Itmarsh
came to Oregon in 1853 from Illinois,
and Is therefore entitled TO the sobri-
quet-of "Old Oregonian." He re-
moved here from Jackson county in
1870, and opened the drug business.
Since that time he has enjoyed re-
munerative trade, besides having
been interested in several outside en-
terprises. In 1879 he was selected
% represent the third ward as Alder
man. AIr. Saltmarsh believes that
the future growth of our city depends
wholly upon the efforts our citizens
make to secure capital for the deveI-
opmentof our many natural resources.
Engrsssed with business he is yet
ready at all times to give to strangers
or others any information in regard
to our city and i;s business interests
and prospects. AZ his drug store
may Re found complete and fresh
assortment OF all goods in his line,
consisting of drugs and medicines,
oils, glass, fancy and toilet articles,
ETC., etc.
In los.er's new block, First street,
are
MEssEs. FosH2x & MASON,
dealers 10 drugs, books, stationery, etc.
Mr. John Foshay, originally from
New Brunswick, came TO Albany
from California in 1868, and in 1872
bought out the drug business o. Geo.
f. Settlemier. The present firm suc-
ceeded Mr.. Foshay in the business,
Mr.. d. P. Mason coming here from
Missouri. Both gentlemen are ex-
Perienced druggists, and have built
up for their business fine reputation
for fair dealing and reliable goods.
They are now enjoying, as fruits eff
their enterprise, geed, steady, retail
trade, and constantly increasing and
profitable jobbing trade, extending to
the surrounding towns. Thorough
business men, ,!they are among our
most substantial citizens, and fully
) realize the benefits Of advertising,
and Of studying the wants of their
customers. They keep fully up with
the times in presenting their Gus
toners with all that is new and now
ell in their line, and carry large and
complete stock. In connection with
their business they also run first
class news depot, and have splendid
assortment of toilet and fancy articles,
picture frames, etc, etc. Both gem
tlemen speak highly of Albany, not
only as business point, but as a
, place of residence, and both are anx-
:, ious fer the developmentof the city,
: and believe in its capacities and re-
sources for great manufacturing
!, centre.
d Success is always success, and il
q legitimate business affairs always 1
! good thing. But there is difference
a in the degree of credit men are en-.
}. titled to in gaining success, which il
d or ought to be gauged by the effor
J. required and the difficulties over
" come-the nerve and energy displayed
h and the point of success reached.
d is possible to believe of success tha
ir comes almost without effort, at leas
le without extraordinary effort and O
l. the other hand of success requirin
IS the most persevering effort, the clos
$ est attention and the soundest busi
in ness ability. OF this latter kind G
s. success is that won by
