The Kingstree Drug Co. has just
completed the installation of new,
large and very handsome soda foun-
tain. We are not afraid to assert
that there is not town in the State
the size of this that is better equip
ped for quenching the thisst of its
population than Kingstree is. In
some respects, one in particular,
(which we prefer keeping secret)
Georgetown may have the advantage
of US, but when it comes to drinks,
prohibition and the Volstead act 90
not bother US at all. Artesian wells
all over the town and fountain SER
vice equal, if not surer'or. to that of
any small town in the State. The
new equipment of the Kingstree Drug
Co. is not only a credit to the firm,
but speaks in no uncertain terms for
the propress of the town.
