HENRY'S PHARMACY TO
UNDERGO IMPROVEMENTS

Work has been begun on con-
siderable improvements in Hen
rvs Pharmacy on Waldron street.
The approach of the heated sea-
son is suggestive of more spacious
and better equipped soda fount,
as well as drug store, and charac-
teristic of the progressive ideas
Of the genial proprietor, Will B.
Henry, contracts are being carried
out to this end.
The improvements will consist
of converting the rear of the
building that has formerly been
used as the drug room, into a la
dies parlor.
The partition that now divides
the two apartments will be re-
moved, the soda fOunt will be
placed at the front Of the build
ing, to be finished up with a new
back bar, which will be one Of the
latest designs for that purpose.
The mirror that is now used as
a back bar for the fount, will be
moved to the rear and used in
connection with the ladies parlor,
and the entire interior will under
90 redecoration.
A bank of ferns and other green
cry will act as a partial partition
between the main drug depart
ment and the ladies' parlor, and
the tables and other necessities for
the comforts of the ladies and for
the identifying of the store will
be added, which will considera-
bly, enhance this popular place Of
business.
Mr.. Henry hopes to have the
improvements completed by the
9th of April.

ANOTHER
SHIPMENT OF AUTOS

W. A. Hinton, local agent fo1
the Chevrolet Motor Works, St
Louis, designers and builders
of the famous Chevrolet car, re-
ceived another shipment of six
ears yesterday and advises that
before the day had closed, two
more sales had been recorded. Mr..
Hinton is very optimistic over the
outlook for the Chew olet and, to
say the least of it, it does really
look like the coming medium
priced car Of the day.
He states that he can supply all
necessary parts to purchasers of
his car, as he has put in a full sup
ply of parts.
Mr.. Hinton makes claims for
the Chevrolet, known as the Won
der Car, car with class, elegance
and comfort equal to cars selling
for twice the price, that none of
the other cars on the market can
get the mileage on same quantity
of gasoline used, because of the
design and construction of the
famous valve-in- head motor with
which all Chevrolet cars are
equipped.
He can be found at the sales
room on Cruise street, or can be
reached by calling 76, either
phone, and to all parties inter
ested, would be glad to demon
strate a few of the merits of the
Chevrolet-the car that looks
like twice the money and lives up
to it's looks. -
