THE LOWELL DIAMOND.
Secret of the Reduction In Price OF
This Wheel.

The announcement of the reduction in
price of the Lowell Diamond bicycle hns
been great surprise to many people and
led many to think that 1t was the fault
of the wheel or some Of its parts. This
is not SO. This whsel did not have fame
thrust upon it, but achieved 1t by 1t own
merits. 1t is as we'll and favorably
known in London and Paris as 1t is in
Boston, and in many other parts of the
United States.
At the original price, Lowell Diamond
was regarded as very high class invest
ment, and it is, therefore, not to be WON
dered at that bicycle circles-which, by
the way, nowadays, include Pretty much
every circle in the community-should
have been astonished when the "Dia-
mond" was offered at about one half the
price which has hitherto been asked for
it.
Users as we'll as manufacturers of
wheels have been generally puzzled over
the reduction In the Diamond. and there
was tendency to explain 1t by the state
menu that it Twas not so good wheel. :"
4hc iONcii Oo'hP"HJt
guarantees that the wheel at half-price is,
and will continue 20 be. exactly as good
as the wheel which has made the firm
famous.
The explanation of the reduction in
price is, after all. very simple, when one
knows the manufacturing possibilities of
the Lowell company and the policy which
1t adopted with its entrance into Its
new Boston store. The Diamond at the
new price has not lost in quality one
iota. 1t simply illustrates what an en-
terprising firm with the most modern
manufacturing equipment and big de-
mand for its goods eau do. alt is a case of
small profits and many sales
The Lowell Arms Company has its own
factories, it's bicycle designs are fur
nished by its own superintendent, 1t buys
raw material in large quantities, itlmakes
the most of science and skill, and it is
supported by the public-that is the secret
of the whole matter.

THE DRUG STORE LAW.
Com missioner of Pharmacy Says II VIII
he Enforced vigorously.


sTbe New England Druggists Maine de-
nartment OF the May nmber has the fol-
lowing interview. with the Maine COM
missioner of pharmacy, Jos. +. Young,
Of Augusta, regarding the pharmacy
laws passed at the last session of the leg
islature:
1--WE shall enforce the law to the letter
lust as we'll as we know how. In all
those matters In which 1t is incumbent
for the commissioners to move, the pub.
lie will find us without fear or favor
As to the fake drugstores that have been
so long a disgrace to the reputable drug
trade of the state, we shall go for them
wherever they may be. l learn that Lew
iston contains more than any other city
in the State. But there are lot ofthem In
Biddeford and Saoo, and We learn tnat
they are pretty we'll scattered through the
State. A careful list will be made and
the enforcement of the law will com
msnce.
~ think that when the new law is
generally understood 1t will be liked py
the druggists. 1t is certainly designed
for their protection and no reputable
druggist will, of course. object to having
the business regulated.
"To my mind one of the best features
of the new law is the clsuse relating to
poisons. All Glasses Of poisons are placed
under greater restrictions as to their sale
in this state than people realize. Under
the law In force druggists could sell TO
almost any one. Under the new law the
drug can only be sold on druggists
prescription or to dentist.
81 say again that the law will he en-
forced by us just as well as and just as
vigorously as we know how. We shall
have no friends anu no discrimination.
We believe that 1t Is good law and that
If fairly and impartially enforcedit will
work for the common benstit of the drug
gist and the public. Therefore 1t ought
to be pretty plain sailing for u.s.
