Store Policy
Toward Children

Nothing vexes parents NOR
than to have their children taken
advantage OF. We don't believe
there's a store in Honolulu that
would 90 it, simply because it ism T
good business policy. if for no other
reason.
We mention this because one OF
our customers drew out attention
to if. He sent his little boy to US
for . preparation which we were
selling for about half what it could
be purchased anywhere else. He
thought because we were sell
ing 50 cheap we might take advan-
tage of the little customer. But
the father found the right change
in his little fist and he was pleased.
It's quite an advantage for you
TO send your children TO us for
drugs and medicines. They get
good many car rides out of our
generous, cut-rate prices.

PURIFINE

Is the disinfectant that the world
is talking about. In the United
States it's merits are becoming
known. The people are using it.
Purifine possesses many points in
its favor over other preparations.
It is odorIess, and in employing it
as a disinfecting agent, does not
create another odor as offensive as
that which it subdues. Non
poisonous too. That's an advan-
tage-children will NEEDLE; ser
wants misunderstood; then there's
trouble. Some one is poisoned.
Those who use it speak it's praise
in convincing language. Here's one
from the Department Of Medicine
in the University of Michigan.
I'VE use Purifine and find it very
good for deodorizing sinks and
boxes, etc., and for washing sponges
used about subjects for dissec-
