AGeM IN ORUGSTORES.
A Most Desirable and Attractive West
End Improvement.

End Improvement.
One Of the most acceptable improve
ments in the West End. and one of tho
most perfect gems in the way Of drug
store to be found in any city is the phar,
macy of Cabell & Chelf. recently opened
at No. l06 north Pine street, Just IN
rear of Park-Place Methodist church.
1t is compact, elegant and conye-
nicnt. The furnishings are in cherry
md plate-glass, and economy OF space has
been reduced to a science in tho arrange
ment of the store. The shelving IS alter
mated with cases for patent medicines and
other preparations, and on one side or the
store are all the liquids, while the other
side is devoted TO the powders. The
label.drawers for the powders and
liquids correspond in location TO
these articles, and behind the pre-
scription-stand are special cases for
drugs. from which light and air must he
excluded, and for graduates, various sized
bottles. &c. In the counter-cases and the
rcceptacles below tho counters ara fnil
line or imported perfumes, soaps, combs.
brushes, mineral waters. and such house.
hOl3 aud toilet articles as are usually round
in frst-class drugstores. AT glance
il il seen that tho store Is most
thoroughly equipped for waiting on GUS
toners and compromising prescriptions
WIN TIE GREATEST lttllilN dilu fdIlhttF. ho
upper part of tho building is the manufac-
turing department. where the concern make
their own tinctures, syrups, DC. and the
store is supplledwith an attractive soda and
mineral-water fountain. The house OF Ca
bell Il Chelf is q branch Of the concern OF
r. G.. Cabell. Jr., " Co., located on
the corner of Main and Third
streets, and composed of DR.. Ii. G.. CabeIl,
Jr., and 4. WILDER Chef. This latter con-
Germ. which has been ono of tho largest
and handsomes re- all establishments in the
South. is the legitimate successor Of one OF
the oldest retail drug houses in the city.
DR.. Cabell. a. is we'll known. was a prac-
ticing physician before entering the drug
business. Mr. Chef ls graduate Of the
Maryland College OF Pharmacy, and first
prize man of that institution. having taken
the Simon analytical prize. The new store
il in charge of Mr.. w. Is. Penick, aregistered
pharmacist who has had long experience
in the mother house. and his recognized
competency and carefulness will be sup
plemented by the assistance of the part
ners. One great advantage of the new
store Is that customers IF the Main and
Third-s;reet establishment who reside in
the West End can have prescriptions which
are filed in the latter store filled at the
former without the slightest delay.
