SPLENDID STORE
OPENED TO PUBLIC
Reception Makes Start of Brigham
Street Pharmacy a Bril-
liant Event.
MANY VISITORS ARE PRESENT
Northeast Residents Are to Be Con
graduated.

The hundreds of people who were
fortunate enough to be present yester-
day afternoon and evening at the for
NAL opening of the Brigham Street
Pharmacy, are congratulating them
selves and their friends today upon
this most attractive addition to Salt
Lakes list of enterprises. And the
dwelIers along Brigham street and, in
deed, throughout the entire northeast
ern section of the city, are congratu-
lating themselves upon having, prac-
tically at their very doors, drug store
so complete in all its appointments, so
efficiently managed and so harmonious
in every arrangement that absolutely
nothing is left to be desired.
For the opening yesterday the beau
tiful store in the Sharp fiat building at
the corner of Brigham and f streets
was transformed into a floral bower.
Roses, carnations, sweet peas, all the
cut flowers of the season were banked
in masses on show cases and counters.
To every woman visitor was given
some of the flowers, and to all visitors
was extended a most cordial hospital
ity. The new store is well worth a visit,
for it affords a glimpse of all that is
modern in drug store equipment.
AT the left, as the visitor enters, is
a long, comfortable settee, where guests
of the management may wait while
prescriptions are being filled or pur-
chases made ready for them. Close to
the settee and easily accessible are the
public telephones. Further back, and
still on the left is on the soda fountain,
q marvel of ornamentation and eff
cheney. Here cooling beverages of every
soft variety are served, and the YER
dict of yesterday was that they were
delicious.
On the right of the store, and nearest
the door is the cigar case. Particular
attention has been paid to the selec-
ton of the stock for this department.
Every good cigar known to the trade
may be had here, the list including all
the better known varieties of domestic,
Key West and imported goods. The
cigar case of the Brigham Street Phar-
macy seems destined to become one of
the most popular branches of the new
institution.
On both sides of the store are the
show cases and display cabinets They
contain everything carried by a first
class drug store, and a great many
things that are not ordinarily carried.
And the notable feature of the stock
is that from the least expensive to the
most expensive article carried, every
thing is the very best that money and
good judgment could combine to pro-
cure.
The fixtures are by themselves worth
detailed story. From cigar case and
soda fountain back to the prescription
case Antwerp oak of a high polish is
used. And all about is a columnal and
mirror effect that gives to the general
appearance of the store a simple dig
nifty, a graceful beauty that must be
seen to be understood and appreciated.
The owners Of the store are Herman
Harms, Phi. G., state and city chemist.
and Walter T. Coffman, Phi. G.. man.
ager, men whose very names are a
guarantee of purity in prescription
preparation and square dealing in all
departments. Messrs. Harms and Golf
man have hobby, and they ride it all
the time. Some people might call them
cranks on the subject of pure drugs.
but ii is the sort of crankism that
makes for the public health and the
protection of the public from impost-
ure.
They put into every prescription ex-
actly what the doctor orders More
they fill the prescription promptly and
have it at your house before some
druggists would finish reading it over
This is to be a Brigham Street Phar-
macy speciality. Promptness and re-
liability are to be the watchwords. Into
every prescription will go the famous
Squibbs drugs and chemicals. This
costs the firm more money, for Squibbs
and purity are synonymous terms, but
its patrons get the benefit.
