Under the stimulus Of Mr.. Bither's
management the old-established Kins-
man Pharmacy has taken on new life
and it is now as fine a drug store as
one can find in this section. Drug
stores have so increased the scope Of
their operations that many of the old
time features have been almost lost
sight of The kinsman Pharmacy,
while as up-to-date as. any. has not
forgotten that the prescription and
medical features gre as important as
ever and that store of this kind must
win and hold the confidence of physi-
clans. The store has many special
preparations which it controls in this
city and which cannot be surpassed in
quality. The general lines Of station
cry, toilet goods and leather novelties
are of special interest to summer Wis
itors The ice cream soda and cigar
sections are attractive and popular
with all classes. Among the confec-
tionery specialties are boxed candies
of the Page & Shaw. Samoset and
Belle Mead brands. Mr.. Bither en-
ploys several clerks, both registered
and assistant.
