SUPPLIES FOE ARMY HOSPITALS.
The Virginia rbnrmncai Company
Gets ~ Desirable Contract.

The Virginia Pharmacal Company
which has It's headquarters on the corner
OF Ninth and Cary streets, in this city
has been awarded the government con-
tract for supplies for the army hospitals
This IS the Grst time that the contract
has come South. and inasmuch as the
local company was brought into competl-
ton with firms In all parts OF the United
States. It's enterprise is In the highest de-
gree commendablc. and its success so
much the more gratifying.
The contract is FOR supplies for the
regular army only. and the fact that II
Is awarded at this particular time mas.
no significance. though what does SIG
Lify IL that If war should come the con-
tract would be very much enlarged.
In March Of every year the Medlcal
Supply Department OF the United States
army advertises Tor bids for hospital sup
plies. and the number OF answers Is IN
variably large. The Virginia Pharmacal
Company has been among the unsuccess-
ful competitors for a number or years
but yesterday It's sta was in the ascend
ant, for an official letter was received by
the firm To the ene { that its bid being
the lowest. the contract had been duly
awarded. The amount is not large. but
il can be increased at the will Of the de-
partment. and in event Of war, IT would
mean M practically all the medical sup
plies would he purchased through TINS
channel.
