the public arc wholly at the mercy
or the druggist as to the CORRECTNESS,
OF the component clements that 70
u make up prescription and ieno-
rance or carelessncss on the part Of
the druggist might result il great
disaster to the, individual for whose
use the prescription was compounded.
In our dealings with men in this
class of business we are bound in
Justice to ourselves to select place
that we know is absolutely trust
worthy because of all trade, perhans

gratifying to the Labor World to be

found that this firm of Fossum a

as it is possible under present condi-

tobacco to do so.
Mr.. Denning has been engaged in
his present business in this city for
about three years and during that
time has a host Of friends among the

1t is no easy task for any Individual
single handed to force himself to the

come in this line of endeavor than
probably in any other business in
which young man can engage. but
Mr.. Denning has proven himself
equal to the OCCASION and is steadily

Personally Mr.. Denning's exemplary
habits anu courteous treatment of all

made him Of the popular young men

well-known sagacity is enough to
predict for HIM most successful bus

We think we have the very best Of
reasons upon which to base the opin-

upath'zer with the union movement

his views upon that question when so
