thrown open for business a few
weeks ago, the people of Lafa-

the merits of this modern and
unique drug store as a place of
pleasure and convenience, and so
it was quite natural for friends
and acquaintance living at a dis
lance from each other to get into
the way of saying meet me at
the Moss Pharmacy" whenever
they wished to come together for
any purpose.
1t is true that the central loca-

persons who NAV wish either to
go to church together, make a

been done and believe it will be

this is partially responsible for the
prices we are compelled to pay.
No doubt the present demand for
lumber has had effect on the mar
ket, there is no question but what
the demand has been great and if
the present prospects continue It is
my opinion that a great many
items will be advanced over the
present price in a very short time
Now as to the exorbitant profits
we are supposed by some people to
be getting, our business is just like
any other business. Any man in
any kind Of business is entitled to
and must have a reasonable profit
on his goods, that is all We are get
ting and all we ask and we must
have that or quit business, and /
think that by comparison Of our
cost prices and our selling prices
that any thinking man can readily
see that We are in no way response
bic for these high prices and are
not making an exorbitant profit on
our lumber, in fact I believe there
Is not a business in town that the
margin of profit is as small as it is
in the lumber business considering
the amount invested.
