Strenuous Efforts Of the BambOcS,ipg Med

TO CHOKE OFF COMPETITION.

the People and the Grasping
Monopoly, Saying; Thus
Far and No Farther"

The following is an extract from a
speech delivered at the recent Louisville
meeting Of m inufacturers, iobbers and
retailers, which vas held to devise ways
and means to prevent cutting in the drug
business: THE retailers are now in arms
and ready TO assist tho proprietor y y
" in every way possible = 4 = y to
eliminate the cutter. He is II bad man"
Why is he a bad man2 Prices are
cut and slashed in the grocery business;
in the clothing business; in the dry
goods business and in every other line
of merchandising. What law, then, is
there OF commerce or logic, to prevent
the dealer in drugs and medicines from
boldly entering the arena and craving
and commanding trade by the power OF
price? If there is any line of goods on
the green footstool of the Almighty
which should be sold at the lowest pos
sible margin of profit, that line is drugs.
The use OF medicines is prima facia
evidence Of physical suffering. But
what is that suffering in comparison
with the anguish often experienced by
those who have loved, one whom they
see hourly drawing nearer to deaths
door for the want Of ~high-priced rene
dies which their means cannot supply,
but which If the truth we're known proba-
bly, cost the druggist a mere p%ittanCe?
We say that it is a crying and burning
shame on the people of this progressive
age that the specifics for every disease
that flesh is heir to-" which an all wise
providence has scattered over tho broad
ace of the earth should be controlled
y n grasping trust and that every at
tempt to supply these necessarles at a
fair price should be met with the most
strenuous opposition. Will you do your
duty and assist in breaking this iniquit-
Gus combine or will you help to make
your letters heavier? The choice lies
with you. We have as complete a line
of drugs as is to be found in any drug
store in Omaha. Rival druggists, or
physicians who have their Office
rent paid by said druggists, may
tell you that our goods are
fresh. Wiz GUARANTEES EVERY
PARTICLE OF MEDICINE IN OUR
DRUG AND PRESCRIPTION DE
PARTMENT TO BE OF THE VERY
HIGHEST QUALITY THAT THE

our firm followed the drug business for
twenty-five years and two registered
pharmacists are constantly on duty in this
department. They have held posi-
tons in leading stores in this and other

SLASHING GROCERIES.

rifle slaughter of prices all over our
