THE PROSPEROUS DRUGGIs

j
The drug store IS a modern Noah's
ark with this difference: Instead Of
only two of everything there is at
/ least A gross. Also Noah was a pat
riarch and a prophet without honor
/ in his own country, while druggist
/ is profit pure and simple. Well,
pure at least, If not simple.
You may not agree with me that
/ the druggist business is profitable.

Here's a typical sane:

Ignorant Essays

Druggist: Yes ma'am. Could
do anything for you?
Fifth Customer: Well, you might
give me a glass OF water. I am wait
ing here TO meet somebody.
Sixth Customer: Do you know
anything good for rheumatism?
Druggist: This IS said to be good.
One dollar for the bottle.
Sixth Customer: You haven't got
twenty-five cent bottle, have you?
Druggist No, il doesn't come that
small
Sixth customer: Have YOU any
thing else for twenty-five cents.
Druggist: / am afraid not
Sixth Customer: I wish YOU had,
have got rheumatism awful bad.
I'd give anything TO get rid Of It.
Druggist: Well. why not give a
dollar for this bottle.
sixth Customer: That's too much.
1t would take me too long TO use it
and it might spoil. or might get
over my rheumatism before 1 got it
all USED up.
You can see from this what a
rushing business the druggists do.
And II IS not just an occasional Gus
toner, hut steady stream all day
long. No wonder they build summer
homes with platinum door knobs,
surrounded by pools of eau de CO.
logne filled with solid gold fish.
One morning while in the neigh
borhood drug store l was somewhat
delayed. 1t seemed the druggist had
to open up a new barrel. In that
time he must have sold at least five
dollars worth Of stamps and ten
dollars worth OF telephone slugs
I shall raise my son to be a drug
gist. I was in doubt until then
whether TO make him a druggist or
a doctor. a doctor would be rather
nice to have I'm the family. Happy
thought. Maybe I could raise him
to be both and he could not only
write the prescriptions but fill them
too. Wouldn't It he Jolly TO be able
to say: well, son, I am giving a
party tonight, write me a few pre-
scriptions and then run over To the
store and fill them and don't stay out
too late" or maybe he could teach
me the Latin for pint of Bourbon
and then If anything should happen
to him 1 could write them myself.

LIMITATION OF ORNAMENTS.

Prest Hardings message is clear TO

That means that this country will limit in pro-

OPTIMISM IN THE PIEDMONT

The News and Courier quoted re-
Gently from the Spartanburg Herald
the opinion Of that newspaper that
Spartanburg is entering the fall with
scarcely vestige of depression in
business left" In Greenville the same
spirit Of optimism appears to prevail.
At luncheon in Greenville on Satur-
day, at which addresses were made by
a number of leading mill men and
textile leaders of the Piedmont coun-
try, sentiment was general that the
tide has turned in the direction of
prosperity and that the worst of the
business depression is over.
Mr.. 3. E. Geer, president of the
Judson mills and the American Bank
Of Greenville, gave it as his belief
that "by January 1 all legitimate
business will be on a profitable ba-
sis-not the phenomenal earnings ex-
perienced during the war and up to
eighteen months ago, but fair earn
ing in the textile industry" Speaking
of-the cotton mill situation in parti-
cular Mr.. Geer said: 81 believe that
by the 1st of January every mill exc
cutive will be able to tell his stock
holders that he is making a fair pro-
fit and paying fair dividend on the
capital invested"

tor-Monaghan mill, and Mr.. T. M.
Norris of the Norris mill, told of good
orders following Immediately upon an
advance in the price of cotton goods
corresponding with the advance on
the cotton markets. Mr.. J. E. Shrine
of Greenville, one of the leading mill
architects in the county, said, that
on a recent trip TO New York the
president of the National Association
of Cotton Manufacturers gave him
prices which showed the cost of pro-
duction of print cloth in the North
to be TOO per cent. higher than it is
around Greenville. Mr.. Shrine spoke
of the admirable spirit which exists
between workers and the manage.
ment in the mills of the Piedmont sec.
ton and declared that in his opinion
"the day Of expansion in New Eng.
land has passed." that is to say, the
future growth of the cotton mill in.
dustry, in Mr.. Sirrine's Judgment
will be in the South.
We do not think that there can be
any doubt that the position of the
cotton mill industry in the South has
undergone a most remarkable i'm
provement as result Of the changes
brought about during the war period.
The cotton mills are the backbone of
the Piedmont, they are firmly cn tkeir
feet tOday with q oreat futura oha,d
of them, and as conditions generally
improve they can scarcely fail to en-
JOY an expanding prosperity,the bene-
fits of which will be reflected far and
wide in the Piedmont and beyond
