about a year, DR.. Smith decided to
go in business for himself and open
ed very modest little establishment
about two blocks east of this first
drug store, 9oS East Twelfth Street,
where he had only a few shelves, a
handful of drugs and one of the old
fashioned goose-necks for a soda foun-
tain. But imbued with the determina-
tion to make good in his chosen pro-
fession and fruitful field of endeavor
DR.. Smith applied himself assiduously
to building up his business with such
remarkable success that in three
years he had chain of three drug
stores, one at 90S East 18th street,
one at Independence and Campbell,
and one at the present location, 18th
Street and Tracy Avenue. But so
eXacting and burdensome became the
task of operating all three of these
establishments that six years ago DR..
Smith decided to merge them into one
grand establishment and the magnifi-
cent Pharmacy now located at 18th

days.

become that it was necessary for him

booth is capable of seating eight peo-
pie. There are also built in mahog-
any telephone booths with comfort
able seats and directory holders
where one can be absolutely secluded
and shut off from any noise on the
outside. The most impressive fea-
ture in this beautiful establishment
is the sparkling, modern and exqui-
sitely beautiful soda fountain which
is the most complete we have ever
seen. 1t extends sixteen feet with
massive marble top with a back bar
of the same material and finish with
solid plate glass mirrors, massive in
their proportions, mirrors alone cost
ing more than three hundred dollars.
The fountain contains twelve con-
tainers for holding the different fruit
extracts, also elegant curved handled
silver ladies' for cream repositories
of which there are four on each side
of the fountain proper. The back bar
is lined with white enamel through
out, icing receptacles and is arranged
to hold milk bottles, grape juice and
other delicious Misunderstanding bever-
ages which are found on sale at first

In addition DR.. Smith has the only
electric carbonater in the city where
his operators manufacture their own
soda water making it absolutely fresh
and sparkling at all times.

liantly lighted and magnificent domed
lights are suspended from the ceiling

scured plate glass windows give a
brilliant view to the interior and COM
