.cerity of Service
F you have visited the Jacobs
Lee drug store, Fifteenth and
Douglas, you have noted the sincere
desire to serve you which charac-
terizes it. A typical theater drug
store, you'll say. Here you may
meet your friends (or wait for the
one who is so tardy my dear"),
buy sweets to MUNICH during the pic

at home. The luncheonettes served

people who have formed an appe-

sincerity of service which we h. !e
found in the other Jacobs-Lee drug
store at Seventeenth and Douglas.
