DR., A. L. Curtis,
Druggist and Man.

Now ! think might be allowed
to speak about the man himself.
The store is interesting. but would
never have reached its perfection
without the worthy efforts of the
man who made it, ] have not will
ingly waited all this time before
speaking of him; but he, in his
pride and love of his work and the
result, is entirely too modest to
place any credit on himself. He is
completely carried away with his
profession and realizes the impor-
tance of care and thoroughness.
Dr. Alfred Lee Curtis literally
grew up in the drug business. His
Father Dr. w. NJ. Curtis, who still
lives 10 enjoy his son S success and
enthusiasm, was a druggist before
him. Ice, as he was called in
l,nlckerbocl;cr days. made the drug

Prescription Department
Complete and Sanitary.

| saw the prescription depart
ment at the A. l.. Curtis store on
Mitchell and Forsyth streets and
cnthused and thrilled to my hearts
content. 1t was the most complete,
neatest, immaculate, Systematically
convenient place l have ever seen.
The arrangement of one drug case
with a capacity of 495 bottles Of
purest drugs known to science is
compact and convenient. These
are arranged with eXactness and
then indeXed in an easily accessi-
Bile record book. The sink with it's
line of graduate glasses, the pill
slab, the powder slab, the label and
cork drawers, the almost unlimited
arrangement for the prompt and
efficient filling of prescriptions ap-
peal strongly to a woman's love
of order. | would like to play at
being Il druggist in that room and
see if | could keep the sanitary
order which | found. The pills and
powders would have to be used to
cure dolls ailments, for it takes
knowledge, experience and wisdom
to be a druggist.
Atlanta Georgian., 1913-03-12
Norris Candies
Conspicuous.

Appropriately enough, the candy
department is next to attract the
attention. The pretty boxes of Nor
us candies create a hunger for the
goodies inside. Dr. Curtis handles
Norris candies because he has
proven that his customers enjoy
them and viii come back again and
aeain for more.
I'm the larger space the serving
tables are placed. Nothing rouId
hr more inviting than the eight ta
b.es of bronze. mahogany and plate
glass. For each table is a display
table as wei and beneath the inn
maculate plate glass are shown
many tempting dainties for the tot
let and feminine taste. Four seats
are swung from each table and
there is no trouble about the ad
justment of chairs, as is sometimes
irntably inconvenient This por-
tion of the store is additionally
lighted by large plate glass shelly
ing which let's in the light. but OBJ
struets the gaze of passersbv
through its use as a display case.

demand for efficient drug service

conducted drug store. and II had
been the boys hope and the voutb.s

With three drug stores under HE

that DR.. Curtis would sometimas
tire of his work. But not he fo,.

The Renovation
Of a Drug Store.

To accommodate the many Gus
toners the entire Mitchell street
front is arranged with mahogany
and plate glass doors. These can
he swung open and facilitate the
entrance and exit of the hurrying
crowds who have grown accus-
toned TO visit the y. l.. Curtis drug
store for quick service. The light
gained by the use of these many
doors adds to the pleasant, inviting
impression the store gives.
Beneath the feet is a handsome
tiled floor. It is not the usual
mottled or plain tile, but has had
brought to its construction an ar
tistic design Inside the doors is a

%APTAINS of industry, special
L lists in business, we hear
lauded to the azure skies.
We read of men who appear to
US more remarkable than any one
we could possibly have known. We
glory in the success of men of
whom we have descriptions penned
by enthusiastic admirers. We, in
short, look at the reflected light of
distant stars and ignore in many
instances the rays surrounding one
near by.
There is nothing more interest
ing than the study of personalities
and histories of those in our midst.
Atlanta holds just as many sue
cessful men and women, just $
many strong characters, just rs
many interesting life stories as any
city or locality. We simply forget
to study those about us and in
stead read with thrills a ma gazine
story about succ, syfu, man.

little journeys through Atlanta,
crediting Ebert Hubbard to proper
extent, and tell about the interest
ing and successful men of this
beautiful city. 1t would bear out
my theory that we In Atlanta are
not quite as loyal as we might be
II we knew our men and women
better. ! would show you so many
beautiful deeds, so many fairylike
tales of success Won under difficult
ties and by persistent effort that
you would renew your enthusiasm
in Atlanta and in Atlanta's build
ers.
There would be an untold graft
dcation in bringing into public ap-
probation many of the men who
have done their part in the up
building of Atlanta through sin
cere. active service in their own
professions. The list would vary
and would include the names of
men whom you have known all
your lives, never creeping into their
confidence or realizing their worth.

One Little
Journey Completed.

The second of my recent little
Journeys is completed. 1t took me
to a shining drug store at the cor

II is the pride and satisfaction of
a man who loves his work. who is
thoroughly imbued with the power
and influence of his profession. He
seeks improvement, he dreams of
his work and begins each day with
new enthusiasm and new plans for
it's betterment.
The dreams are almost realized
today, for nowhere is a drug store
more representative of complete
and sanitary beauty. II is fasci-
mating first in its pleasing, shin
ing appearance and later in the
many convenient aids To quick and
efficient service.
