The San Francisco call., 1899-09-10

in each city-San Francisco, Los IN
geles and Oakland.
The San Francisco store, located at
1l28 Market street runs through the
entire block to Turk street, and occu-
pies $3.50 square feet, employing forty
four men and women. This is an all
night store, and for five years has not
closed its doors once. The mail order
department occupies the rear or Turk
street side, and is under competent
management. The men who attend to
the wants of our country friends are
oldtime experienced mail order men,
who know the shortest and quickest
routes and cheapest rates to the va
rious points on the Pacific Coast. They
understand wrapping and packing bot
tied medicines and drug sundr1es TO
withstand the carelessness of postal
and express clerks. Mail orders receive
immediate attention and country GUS
toners are not obliged to pay one cent
more for their purchases than our city
customers, except freight or express
charges, which we prepay on s. orders
or over to railroad points within l0O
miles of our stores.
The Los Angeles store, located at 32O
South Spring street, was established IN
1894 and is by far the handsOmest and
best equipped drugstore in the south
ern city. 1t, too, is a cut-rate, depend
able store, and supplies a majority of
the residents of Southern California,
Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico with
drug sundries. This store occupies H.
200 square feet and gives employment
to eighteen men and women.
The Oakland store was purchaser
from Kirkland & TroWbridge in 1895
and turned into a cut-rate store imme-
diately 1t is on the corner of Tenth
street and Broadway, right in the cen
ter of the retail shopping district or
Oakland. Being so close to san Fran
cisco we do not encourage mail orders
from that point. This store suppies
and delivers drugs. medicines and toilet
articles to the residents of Oakland,
Berkeley and Alameda. 1t covers 5625
square feet, and ten employees are nee
essary to attend the wants of it's GUS
toners.
All of our stores are we'll provided
for public convenience. Ladies waiting
and toilet rooms. ice-water tanks, tele-
phones, directories, messenger service,
dictionaries, postage stamps, writing
desks and every other little thing that
so greatly adds to the comfort and
pleasure of shoppers and visitors.
Every we'll behaved person is welcome,
and while there, whether they purchase
or not, are our guests, and we want
them to feel that any courtesy or favor
desired will be gladly granted, and
their presence not considered IN the
way or out of place.
We have ecently established labor
atorv in connection with our San Fran
cisco store 1t is located at 1851 Market
street, one block from the store. We
have leased three floors, 22x165 feet,
covering 1O,S9O square feet. Every de-
tail is modern and affords the greatest
convenience for operation-that of pre-
naring and making chemicals and eX-
tracts, manufacturing our own medi-
cines, staple pills. powders, capsules 10
tions, and bottling, labelling packing
and shipping the same. 1t is equipped
with the very latest machinery and
manufacturing apparatus, and Is a
modern laboratory in every respect
Fifteen men, boys and women are en-
ploved in the laboratory
No sentence ever hurt business so
much as the remark by P. T. Barnun,
That the American people like to be
humbugged." That an honest policy is
a good business policy is sufficiently,
and amply proven by the enormous and
satisfactory success of The Owl Drug
Company.
