REAM'S
OUR TWO STORES
The Uptown and Downtown Drug
Stores OF Excellence and
Perfection.

Ream's is becoming a household
name. Their two stores, suitable TO
the convenience of the uptown and
downtown neighborhoods of Morgan
town, are proving to be the realization
of the idea of par excellence.
Since the opening Of our exquisite
downtown stand, corner of Walnut
and Main streets, we have found that
we have filed the want Of the public
and our place has been much praised
and admired.
At both our stores we carry out the
ideal of our intentions: Purity in the
quality of our drugs: polite and faith
full service; excellence in stock goods;
exquisite flavors in our soda fountains
The combination of excellence and
perfection with the constant aim TO
please has won for US our constantly
increasing patronage.
1t will afford you genuine pleasure
to drop into our new Main street store.
We study to please the most fastidious
tastes in both our interior furnishings
and superb quality of stock.
The physicians and their clientage
find that our prescription department
is above the standard of excellence.
Remember that we make speciality
of expert compromising of prescrip-
tions, made possible by years of care
full education aid training.
The toilet articles, soaps, perfumes,
and other drug store accessories at
Ream's are of the very best. We keep
everything that first class drug store
should keep.
Bear in mind that both our stores
are open. Drop in the one most con-
venient to you.
