thing to make His location was then considered a little too far away from the beaten paths of Phoenix. Some advised him not to attempt to open q store there But Mir. Neail had the courage to do as he set out to do, and the Sun Drug store was opened.
 Mr. Neail looked upon the corner Of Monroe and North rirst avenuv as an ideal place for drug store. Ac- oss the street was the postOffice md thousands went there every day / iso he felt that out North First st eet lived a large part of the population. In other words about as many per sons passed that corner as passed corners farther toward the center of the business section.
 Then, Mir. Neail knew something else. He knew that, as he said yes terday, advertisir~ done in a scientific, comprehensive manner would get the business. He was not disappointed His business grew from the very day the store was first opened, and it has been growing every day ever since, until now he has $500 feet of floor space.

of candy on the market. My cus- toners all appear satisfied and pleased with this candy and therefore we make it a speciaity.
 No store of this nature would be complete without a full line of toilet articles. The Sun Drug company has made a study of this line of merchan- disc Tn ordering, it has taken great pains to obtain those articles lin de- mand by the better class of buyers. The store. with it's light and general attractiveness. affords excellent oppor- tunity for the display of toilet articles, with the result that it has a steady, large demand for them.
 The store, situated as it is at What might be termed a ''sociar corner, affords q convenient place for the pur- chase of cigars. cigarettes and tObac- co. IL is the ambition of the Sun Drug company to please in this line es pecialiy. Practically all brands are carried, but if something not in stock is asked for the management imme- diately sends for it. In this way the store has built up a large trade in cigars and other smokers articles.
 Regardless of the fact that the Sun Drug company has one of the best fountains to be found anywhere, has many departments such as toilet, sta tionery and leather. it is a drug store in every sense of the word. The pre- seription department. occupying the entire rear portion of the establish ment, has everything and every facil- ity for the quick and efficient filling of prescriptions. Here three registered druggists are employed. There is never any delay in getting a prescrip- ton filled. The two business tele- phones of the store go right to the pl escription department there being a third phone in the store for the use of the' public. Therefore the line is never busy on account of the public
 In connection with the prescription department is the motorcycle delivery, a service which has been maintained by MT. Neail since he established the Sun Drug company's store. The sue ,css of the store, especially in cOnnec- ion with the prescription department l., due in part to this motorcycle ser i vice.
 Mir. Neail has been fortunate in hav- in' Q good manager for his store. ! x. Barton has been the manager since the store was opened four years ago
