A Progressive Firm.

Progress is the order of the day.
Texas has been favored state, and
Waco is in the swim. The cry of
hard times can only be heard by
chronic kickers. They unfortunately
exist everywhere, but as a rule ara
relegatad to the rear by pushers.
eWauo is about as free from this class
as any city and can boast of the
livellest set of hustlers in the state.
Prominently in the lead is the well.
known drug house of Ed E. Dis.
nuke. This firm has only been
established about one year and by
pluck and energy have gone right
to the front. Instead of reducing
their force they are employing more
help. and beginning with only two
physicians they now have twelve.
This simply proves the immense
popularity Of this firm. A feature
of this firm is that each clerk is a
licensed pharmacist and thoroughly
competent. This is sure guarantee
that all prescriptions will be care
fully compounded.
