COOPER DRUG CO.'S OPENING.

The grand holiday opening OF
the Cooper Drug Company last
Saturday was brilliant success in
every way. The store was tastily
decorated aud arranged for the oc-

visitors testify to their appreciating

the most attention were the mistle-
toe branches which hung every.
where in careless abandon. The
windows and doors of the large
store were darkened and the artifi-
cial lights produced a fascinating
effect. Beautiful souvenirs of the
occasion were presented to each
lady present.
The opening was one of which
Mr.. Price, the manager, may well
be proud.
