co. IN NEW HOME
A Credit to the Business District and
of a Distinct Value to the Mer-
chants of This Section Whom
They Are Now Better Pre-.
pared to Serve.

The citizens of Pine Bluff, and the
merchants in this section are unani-
nous in their congratulations to the
Mann-Tankersley Drug company on
the recent completion and occupancy
of their home, the handsome and spac-
lous building at Seventh and Main
streets, which was made necessary bv
the increasing business of this old
reliable firm, and now that their
enormous stock is placed they wonder
how they have been able to transact
their business elsewhere.
commencing as very small re-
tail business, established in 1889, the
company was, appreciated by the peo-
pie of this section, and rapidly grew
into wholesale and retail business,
and, as such, was continued until a
few years ago, when the officers re-
allied that the Pine Bluff territory
needed an exclusively wholesale drug
house, and the retail department was
disposed of to Mann's Pharmacy, and
the old firm continued as a strictly
wholesale drug business (the only ex-
elusive one in the Pine Bluff terri
tory and the appreciation OF the trade
was such that they soon outgrew the
old quarters.
One of the features Of the new home
is the airy and we'll equipped labora-
tory on the second floor, where the
we'll known extracts, remedies and
other articles the firm manufacturers
are made, and right here it must be
said to their credit that their rem
edies are not the regular "stock" for
mulas of the "cure ALI variety, but
successful prescriptions of physicians
and family recipes of proven merit,
all OF which are used and appreciated
by the people of this section, and one
(the Brandon Mule Collie Remedy so
dominates it's class that the sale of it
has spread to adjoining states, where,
also, it is regarded as sure cure
the remarkable feature is the dose
a teaspoonful on the tongue mot with
a quantity of water, and, therefore,
hard to administer, like most remedies
offered for this trouble) 1t has saved
many thousand dollars worth of stock
and should be nationally used, as the
testimonials on it from we'll known
people, which are published on page Z
of this issue, are proof positive of it's
merit.
This company is indeed fortunate in
the matter of officers and department
managers; Mr.. w. z. Tankersley, pres
ident, while not active in the business,
takes keen interest in all vital mat
tiers and has always contributed the
benefit of his we'll known business sa-
gacity. Mr.. F.. Lee Fox, the vice
president, is one of the best known and
best liked men in this section, and
stands for progress first, last and al
ways. The secretary-t treasurer and
general manager, Mr.. J. H. Mann, the
guiding hand of the business since it's
obscure beginning, has during his long
and valued citizenship here been rec
ognized as exceptionally skilled in all
drug matters, and business man of
acumen and genuine worth. Mr.. p.
F. Crutcher, the assistant secretary
treasurer and office manager, has
learned his spurs" by long and salts
factory service, and the details of his
responsible position are certainly in
exceptionally good hands and likewise
known, and regarded as one of the
most genial, efficient and dependable
