equipment for every need.
 The candy department is an example of the Suns carefulness in serving its patrons. Only two lines of candies are carried-Pig'n Whistle and Browns Chocolates, both manufactured in Los Angeles Both are always there in fresh supply, and DO candy is kept on hand more than eight days. In pref erence to handling eastern candy which must contain hardening powder to keep, the Sun carries only these two candy lines, both pure and without foreign substance. This necessitates always having a new supply on hand, but the service to the public has war ranted it in the Suns opinion

 In the kodak department the usual 24-hour finishing service is maintained, and every bit of work is done by hand. This careful developing is more than popular just now, for hand work in de- veloping is proving rare in these days oi machinery

is second to none in the state. It is run on a departmental plan. and near ly every department has its distinctive features as compared with other stores.
 Soda Fountain Feature
 For instance The suns soda foun- tain is known throughout the city. and is one Of the largest and best in the state, second to none. The fountain is a double onyx and marble affair with 52 feet of counter space and, with the comfortable tables in the store. will seat 65 persons at a time. The service is carefully maintained and of the best, as are the drinks and meals sold. A silver steam table has been recently added, permitting of hot lunch at all times, while a special kitchen down. stairs makes the fountain a high class place for light lunch or dinner.
 One of the features of the fountain IS the series of suspended buttons along the curb outside, where motor lsts may stop and ring for service without leaving their cars. Ten cars may be taken care of at once here.
 So with toilet articles. The Sun has the largest selection in the state, of all classes and types. Twenty-Five com plete lines are carried. This depart ment is under the care of expert em- ployes, and ladies will find a lady there to wait upon them.
 Sundrles and Candy Departments
 Sundries are carried in just such complete lines. One may find any kind of leather goods. purses-a new ship ment of these has just arrived. Only Parisian ivory is carried, and of a class that is now practically impossible to get. The same is true to the Suns bristle brushes-they are of real Rus sian bristle, and there in lines that nine stores out of ten cannot handle because they cannot be procured. In the stationery department all kinds of writing paper for both milady and her husband are on hand-a stationery

SUN STORE
 COMPLETES SIXTH
 YEAR OF SUCCESS

Occupying twice as much space as al it's founding, and with six remarkably successful years behind it, the Sun Drug company is celebrating today the sixth anniversary of it's founding celebrating both for itself and for it's hosts of satisfied customers and staunch friends.
 It was six years ago today, May 13, 1913 that the Sun Drug store made it's bow to Phoenix at the site it now oc- cupies, at First avenue and Monroe street. A dozen other drug stores were already in the field, and Phoenix was not nearly so large as it is now. Pre- dictions were rife as to it's speedy col lapse
 But that was six years ago, and now the Sun stands in the first rank of Ari- zona drug stores, its size doubled, it's business doubled over and over again, and it's position all that could be de- sired in every way. Its success within such a short time only may be ascribed to the modern the-minute way it has been managed, the careful and economical service which has always featured it, and the general tone and quality of it's business.
 Started On Modern Basis
 Some years ago Billy" Neail landed in Phoenix from Oakland, where he had come from the east. He had a few ideas as to business which were new to Phoenix, and six years ago de cided to start a drug store run on a metropolitan, up-to-date business | basis. He felt it would make good. The Sun Drug company accordingly made it's appearance, opening its store May 1S 1913, on a location then a consid- erable distance from the business sec ton. MT. Neail foresaw, however, the city's growth, and his expectation of the town growing up to him has since been amply justified.
 When it started the Sun Drug Store occupied only the corner space at First avenue and Monroe street, and had use for only three employees. Since then it has enlarged to twice it's orig inal size, exclusive of storing space, and has thirteen employees. And more help is needed, so rapidly has the busi- ness grown.
 No Special Inducements One of the Sun stores features, one l that has contributed greatly to it's sue ! cess and which still causes some won l derment here, though found to a great ! extent in metropolitan stores, is the fact that it offers no special induce ments to physicians or sanatariums to send it trade No commissions are given. The store serves only the pub lie and serves the public in the best possible way. The public has been quick to appreciate this fact.
 As it now stands, the Sun Drug store, in point of size and equipment

Those that did sell did not average
much over $500 a pair. Trading in
town was much better on mule stuff,
and there were a number of sales
made at good prices.
There were about 1900 cattle at
the East End Stock Yards, and they
sold from to IS cents pound. Most
of the feeders sold around liz cents.

his friends by his acquaintance.

Government Veterinary To
Speak Next Court Day

DR.. NJ. H. Doller, U. S. Government.
Veterinarian, will speak at the court
house next Court Day on diseases of
hogs. especially hog cholera. This
is the most deadly of hog diseases,
and has caused tremendous losses
throughout the country in the past.
In order to reduce hog losses, the
government has assigned four veter-
narians to Kentucky to cooperate
with the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board. To date the work accomplished
has been the reduction of losses from
S2,050,000 to $4,000. But this is
entirely too much especially in view
of the fact that the need for fats is
greater today than in the history of
the world. DR.. oller will explain the
cause, prevention and treatment and
it is to your personal interest to at
tend.
