SIMMONS TRIUMPH.
The Two Leading Retail Drug Stores
in the Northwest
COMBINED UNDER ONE MANAGE
MENT.
Model Establishments Equipped in the
Most Complete Manner.

The recent purchase by Mr.. Karl Sim
mons of the retail drug store of Mr.. A. J.
Wanpler at the corner of Fourth and
jackson streets, taken with his old estab-
lished store at the corner of West Third
and Market streets, places Mr.. Sim
mons in the front rank of retail
druggists in our city, a distinction
of no small consequence, considering the
population of st. Paul, and viewed in this
light GLOBE envoy interested himself suf
tlclently to look into the enterprise of
Mr.. Simmons little.
The two stores of which he now is sole
owner are perhaps the best known of any
in the city, the Wampler corner in partic-
ular being for years one of the best retail
establishments in this line our citizens
have ever known. Mr.. Simmons has dis
played most admirably in this purchase
his envlable reputation as a shrewd busi-
ness man, for in it he secures business
that is at once in a most healthy condition.
built up by his predecessor with careful
and dlligent work into the magnif-
cent proportions it now possesses.
The two stores will be operated upon the
thorough going principles which have
characterized Mr.. Simmons efforts since
he first came before st. Paul as business
man. Both places are stocked complete
ly with the very best class of goods which
can be obtained.
The splendid display of perfumery and
all toilet articles; the thorough stocks of
every known patent medicine. and in fact
the very complete and Enthusiastically fresh
| condition of the merchandise on hand in
! both stores is at once an assurance that
suggests confidence in the man who is at
the head Of two such important dispensa-
rles for the necessities of the people at
large. Both establishments are equipped
with every convenience necessary to the
correct and speedy handling of any require
ments that may come upon them, the pre-
scription departments, of course, being
specialties, and both stores enjoy that uni
versally popular feature, a soda fountain
Mr.. Simmons corps of assistants merit
more than passing notice, for they are
all men of we'll tried and ample expert
ence- 1t is evidently his principle, that
the better the man the better the trade;"
and well he may congratulate himself
| upon this idea, for no business requires a
man who understands what he is about
more than the prescription clerk of a
drug store. At the store, corner of Fourth
| and Jackson streets, his chief clerk is Mr..
George Blumhardt, graduate of one of
the first of our Eastern colleges, and a
| young man who has proven his worth
hundreds of times since his ar
rival in st. Paul. He has won many
friends in our city by his courteous man
ner and the evident mastery he has over
his profession. He in turn is assisted by
Mr.. Harry Shott, young man in whom
ones confidence is immediate, at least the
writer of this has had such as his exper-
| ience.
The establishment on Third
street will be in charge
of Mr.. R. Paegel, already known
to our citizens and a gentlemen whose first
training was received in one of the prin-
cipal colleges of Germany. He is a grad
uate of pharmacy, which, in Germany.
means considerable, as each student is ex-
amined practically before he receives his
diploma as a graduate. He has been with
Mr.. Simmons for some time and has we'll
proven that he is the right man in the
right place.
| OF course both stores are constantly un-
der the personal supervision of the pro-
prIetor, man whose judgment is so clear
and methods of business so excellent.
coupled with manner so thoroughly hos
| pitable, that he has secured and will al
ways retain the confidence and patronage
of the people of st. Paul, who will rejoice
mutually with US in the hearty success we
wish him in his combined enterprises
