Prescription Department
Complete and Sanitary.

saw the prescription depart
ment at the A. L. Curtis store on
Mitchell and Forsyth streets and
enthused and thrilled to my hearts
content. 1t was the most complete,
neatest, immaculate, Systematically
convenient place ] 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 its
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 a druggist in that room and
see if l could keep the sanitary
order which l found. The pills and
powders would have to be used TO
cure dolls ailments. for it takes
knowledge. experience and wisdom

Norris Candies
Conspicuous.

Appropriately enough the candy
department is next to attract the
attention. The pretty boxes of Nor
ris candies create a hunger for the
goodies inside. Or. Curtis handles
Norris candies because ne has
proven that his customers enjoy
them and viii come back again and
again for more.
I'm the larger space the serving
tables are placed. Nothing could
Toe more inviting than the eight Ia
b.e> of bronze. mahogany and plate
glass. For each table is a display
table as wei and beneath the i'm
macu'ate 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-
justmeut of chairs, as is sometimes
iTritably inConvenlent This por-
tion of the store is additionally
lighted by large plate glass shelly
ing which let's in the light, but OBJ
strUcts the gaze Of passersby
through its use as a display case.

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
be swung open and facilitate the
entrance and exit of the hurryiug
crowds who have grown accus-
toned TO visit the a. 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 1t is not the usual
mottled or plain tile. but has had
brought to its construction an ar
tistic design. Inside the doors is a
space of thing with a border of
Persian coluring, beautifully har-
monious. Through its center is the
name of the man who built this
business and put his heart in his
work. l.. Curtis. Druggist. a
larger space is embraced by am

A Desire
Not Fulfilled.

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

Now l think ! might be allowed
10 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-
lance of care and thoroughness.
Dr. Alfred Lee Curtis literally
grew up in the drug business. His
father. Dr.. w. NJ Curtis. who still
lives to enjoy his sons success. and
enthusiasm, was a druggist before
him. Lee. as he was called in
knickerbocker days. made the drug
store his piayroom He grew to
know the names OF drugs by cologs
aud odor before his lips could lisp
the long pharmaceutical terms. He
knew " hen p bottle was MISPLACED.
AND soon sreu Ia lac an efficient lit
tie partner.

Active Charge
Of Main Store.

Several years ago DR.. W. NJ. Chr.
tbs decided to retire, and his son
took active charge of the store al
the corner of Forsyth and Mitchell
streets. He then designated his
Peters street store as branch store
No. ].
In 1910 the second branch stare
was purchased to meet the growing
demand for efficient drug service
For this location fond. bovisb
memories were responsible. 1t was
here that Dr. Curtis, the elder. had
conducted a drug store, and il had
been the boys hope and the youths
ambition to some day follow in his
fathers footsteps.
With three drug stores under his
direct supervision you might think
that Dr. Curtis would sometimes
tire of his work. But not he for
his work is his chief pleasure. That
is the reason he expends the
thought and time to his profession
which has made it decided sue
cess. y man is truly interested i'm
his work when he devotes sixteen
hours of each and every day to it.
In public service DR. Curtis has
done his part, but the public
service which appeals most TO me
as a woman is that done quietly

Courtesy of
Druggists and Clerks.

The courtesy of DR.. Curtis is evil
IDENTIFY contagious. for each of his
clerks reflects his genial, gentle
manly manner of meeting patrons
and serving them eNpeditiously. The
clerks who assist him in the main
store are s. J. Duffie, Roy Steph-
ems. w. +. Brice. L. q. Cantrell and
&. A. Laudermilk
Their patience might often be
tried, for the patronage of this store
is mainly hurrying, busy people
endeaVoring to meet trains at the
terminal station or to catch one of
the interurban street cars to Hape-
vile, East Point, etc.

One Little
Journey Completed,

The second Of my recent little
Journeys is completed. 1t took me
TO a shining drug store at the cor
ner Of Mitchell and Forsyth streets.
1t is the pride and satisfaction of
a man who loves his work, who is
thoroughly imbued with the power
and influence Of his profession. lie
seeks improvement, he dreams of
his work and begins each day with
new enthusiasm and new plans for
its betterment.
The dreams are almost realized

him. His prescription is the re-
suit of experience. Then the pre-
scriptiOn goes to drug store and
upon the proper filling of it our
