A number of Spaulding "backers"

The Barre Drug company has added
to its already attractive furnishings
five snug seat ice cream table sets from
the W b. Mclean Manufacturing com
pany Of Pittsburg These sets replace
three larger vet much less attractive
sets, and gain ones attention immedi-
ately upon entering the store by the
plate glass table tops, the mahogany
finish of the remainder Of the table
and chairs, and the snug manner in
which the chairs are designed TO fit un-
der the table when not in use. The
tables may be kept Immediately clean
without much effort, and are not in the
least stained by water or liquids left
standing for some time because of the
plate glass tops Added TO these fea-
tures the table serves as a sales re
minder, being SO designed that toilet or
drug articles may be put on display
under the plate glass top without dan
ger Of removal by light fingers a.
all may be securely locked in the ta
Bile The tables each accommodate four
people and together will seat 20 people
without crowding the store space no
ticeably. With the addition of these
sets the Barre Drug company Is now
equipped with some of the finest ice
cream parlor facilities in the city.
