A Handsome Drugstore.

We were shown, the other day, through
Mr.. Jos l.. Wuller's Drugstore which has
recently been completely remodelled.
The new front with handsome plate glass
windows of large size attracts the atten-
tion on entering The windows were
beautifully arranged, though with the
greatest simplicity. On the left was a
collection of sponges. and it made a
unique and very pretty display. On the
right toilet soaps and accessories were
numerous and attractive. Above hung
the familiar globes of colored liquid. with
lights behind, but these globes werr al
uruSual size and of an elegant pAtt'ru.
They were suspended from heavy bras
brackets

for soda water, and one each for Nichy,
Congress, Ginger Ale, and Star Spring.
There are eighteen syrup draughts. A
handsome little bar of marble with the
usual fountain stands in front of the Fouu-
tain, which is certainly thing of beauty
and a joy forever.
Running back from the fountain is a
counter with cases above, filled with drug
gists supplies. The glass is heavy bevel-
ed plate and the wood is all mahogany.
Back of this is found cabinets OF shelves

Ter and is managed by DR.. ]. F. McClaran

ness IA years. He holds certificate from
the State Board and is a reliable mao.
Mr.. JOS. L. WuIler is well known as o
member of family of druggists.
While averse to much publicity, Mr..
Wuller gave us few interesting facts
about his store. The wood work was fin
ished In Boston by c II. Bangs and was
placed in position by special men sent
here by the firm. The Fountain was
made by the firm of J. W. Tufts d Co.
Altogether the cost of fitting up has been
between So, 900 and SIC, ,000
The Parlor Pharmacy, as it has been
named. will be open day and night and
will make speciality of toilet accessories
and perfumes, though in all drug requi-
sites it will be found among the van.
