the one store where Cooper has been
meeting the public. For the past week
Cooper says more people have called to
talk with him than could be taken care
of at one store and he has therefore
decided on a change of plans.
In speaking of this change he said:
Il have realized for some time that 1
would have to relieve the congestion at
this store as the number of people who
call has been increasing each day. until
it is almost impossible to see them ALL
especially at certain hours in the day.
Beginning Saturday, my preparation
will be on sale at all drug stores in
Greater New York.
by Saturday most druggists Will
have the medicine in stock and those
who have not obtained it can easily
order it for their customers. l shall
continue to meet the public daily as
