ALooRN DRUG co.
IMPROVING STORE

The Alcorn Drug company is
just completing extensive i'm
provements to its store on College
and Second, which will greatly in
crease its facilities. A balcony
1924 feet has been added in the
rear, which is used for a drug
room. This doubles the capacity
of the prescription and drug
room, which is now large enough
to satisfactorily handle the bust
ness of this department.
The entire interior of the store
has been redecorated, the pre-
scription and drug room and ice
cream factory being covered with
a white waterproof paint, making
it easy to keep clean and abso-
lutely sanitary.
Mr.. AlcOFn cOntemplates fitting
up the room formerly occupied by
the caberet with rugs, a library
table, comfortable chairs, etc,
and using it as a public rest
room. He intends it to be used
as a place where an idle hour may
be pleasantly spent with maya
zines, photograph and similar
amusements. This room will
also be redecorated.
In speaking Of the improve
ments, Mr.. Alcorn said: eve
now have one of the largest pre-
scriptiOn rooms in this section
and everything has been so re-
arranged that we will be able to
handle the business of this de-
partment in the shortest possible
time. Our business has increased
so rapidly that increased facili-
ties were necessary. Last
Thursday was the anniversary Of
our moving into our present
quarters and during the year
just passed we have done more
business than in any year since
