stores have long ceased to be novel.
Persons go into drug stores ready to
ask for almost anything and confident
that they win be served. One drug
gist who has a store up near Columbia

is one of the most profitable invest

Ter to go to him rather than to a
grocer. although they pay more for
crackers to him.

the line of tobacco pipes. cigars and
smokables generally, il still seems a
little odd. Some cigar stores have
taken on side line of watches. which
is about as odd thing as a store Of
the kind might be expected to do
