they can always1earn something new if
they are willing to do so, a fact which
was made app Irent to this reporter III
his rounds yesterday. At an early hour
before the rush of Saturday business
commenced, we stepped into 1.-THE drug
house of Tucker Il Willis which has late
ly undergone many important changes
and improvements. 1t was the hand
some interior arrangement and system
which prevails there, lis much as curios-
ity, which impclled us to remark that we
did not have much business of our own
ON hand and would not be averse to get
ting little Information, if it would not
be interfering too much with the bust
ness of the firm. Mr.. Tucker whom we
met not only allowed us to proceed
with our Investigations but volunteered
t. act us guide through the house and
answer what questions we might pro-
pound. Having lately added an extern
sive labratory for the preparation of
proprietary articles and also a l,harii IL
ceutical DEPARTMENT and extensive oil
house, we expressed a desire to see
them, for they are step III advance of
anything yer attempted here. Passing
from the front of the house through
the retail department we were really
pleased with the order and system
which met the eye on every side, but
before speaking Of it let us look III %
the labratory. This was fitted up ex-
pressly for the manufacture of Tucker
II Willis simple remedies, some sixty III
number, and we found it model of
taste and neGtness. On one side are
the pharmaceutical preparations and on
the other all of the paraphernalia Incl
dent to the manufacture of the pro-
prletory articles which are now growing
so popular all over this section. The
different roots, barks, herbs, extracts,
etc, which are used in manufacture, as
well as the bottles, labels, COrks and
everything connected with this depart
ment We noticed lght at hand and all
was order and convenience. The ar
rangement OF this department and tn
Introduction OF manufacturing is ii credit
to the enterprise of Tucker " Willis.
Just III the rear of the labratory is To-
Gated the oil house III which we found
stored for both wholesale and retail
trade an extensive stock OF prints, oils.
varnlshes, ready mixed and dry paints,
< ass, putty, and all that pertains to
wholesale paints and oils. But, though
willing to lInger, III this well-arTangcd,
well-stocked department we found our
selves intruding ON Mr., fuckers time,
rs WE may be now on that Of our read
ers, but the interest which the examina-
ton produced impelled us TO 90 up
stairs INTO the extensive room where Is
stored case after case of patent medi-
cines dry paints, turpen'ine, glassware
OF every description, tobaccos, cigars.
corks, sponges, brushes, busters. and in
Vulnerable articles that are beyond the
possibility OF mention. Taking the lab
rHtory with it's pharmaceutical DEPART
meut, the oil room and the upper floor.
We found stock in variety, extent and
quality, second to none, and manufac-
tory which challenges the admiration of
all who are willing 10 endorse ENTERPRISE
and business ability, and the remarka-
bly, guod arrangement throughout is
wlthoW comparison. But after leaving
the wholesale a'd manufacturing de-
partments We ST.! felt Interested, and
were permitted to 20 from counter t.
