NEW ORGANIZATION SUCCEEDS
POWER DRUG COMPANY.
S. E. Cowan, Registered Pharmacist
In Charge of Prescription
Department and Manager
of General Store.

AS was noted by the publication
of the charter of incorporation in the
columns of The Echo, and by refer
ence to the display advertisement
appearing in this issue. Bay st. Lou
is has a new business organization,
The Bay Drug Company.
The company was organized late
last with with George G. Firschlng,
prominent and successful local busl-
ness man as president and who will
conduct the business in that capac-
ity. The Bay Drug Company sue
ceeds the Power Drug Company, and
will occupy the same location, corner
Front and Main streets. 1t IS
planned to repaint the entire build
ing. within and on the outside as
well, in fact, the entire place is to be
thoroughly renovated as soon as the
work can be done.
Already considerable new stock has
been put in and there is much more
in transit. "It is our intention" :"
said Mr.. Firsching, to build up such
a business that will be a credit to the
city and county. We are going to
cater to the trade in a manner that
will leave nothing undone towards
the carrying out our plan for success.
Every department is going to be
built up. Our prescription depart
ment will be the one outstanding
feature. We have been fortunate
in securing a graduate pharmacist of
ability and experience, one who in
spires confidence, and it is our aim to
satisfy every customer"
The prescription department Is IN
personal charge of Mr.. S. Z. Cowan,
who is no stranger to the people of
the Mississippi Gulf Coast, of which
he is a native. He was located at
Gulfport for a long while and until
recently at Pascagoula. He is splen-
didly recommended and no man is
better and more favorably known
along the Coast Although here a
short while he as already won the
confidence and esteem Of those whom
he has met.
Every effort will be exerted to-
wards the popularizing of the soda
fountain and the refreshment parlor
and shortly the garden parlor in rear
of building will be re-Opened, made
more attractive than ever. With a
profusion of palms and other plants
it is intended to make the place at
tractive and the quality of refresh
ments dispensed will be in keeping
with the excellent personal service
planned. 1t is intended to make
popular such terms as "Meet me at
the Bay Drug Company" "After
the show at the Bay Drug Company" "
etc.
The stationery and cigars and to-
bacco departments along with other
departments will not be lost sight of,
but, on the contrary, will be proml-
nently featured.
Mr.. Firsching also says that many
lines heretofore carried will be dis
pensed with, for the reason he is of
the opinion these do not come strict
ly under the heading of even the mod
ern and popular drug store; that
other stores carry these lines which
according to his mind is legitimate
for them but not quite so for the Bay
Drug Company. He has no idea and
does not wish to infringe on the
seemingly prerogatives of other
| places of business.
1t is evident that from this disposl-
ton and the plan as outlined above
the Bay Drug Company will reap It's
share of success.
