A Drug Store That
SerUes Whole County

A county larger than some of the
eastern states-Apache county, Ari-
zona, is the. field Of patronage of one
drug store, that of the Anderson Drug
company at St. Johns.
Not that there are not other drug
stores in Apache county, but there is
none other so completely stocked and
with such a splendid reputation for
service.
The store was established in the
early '90s by Charles P. Anderson,
father of the present owners-two
brothers, Carl A. Anderson and Albert
F. Anderson, both registered drug
gists The latter is manager.
They own the building, modern,
airy, well-lighted one. The store is
attractively fixtured and carries @
stock remarkable in completeness and
range for q town of that size. St.
Johns population is 1900 The pre-
scription department has everything
usually found in one in large city.
Drug sundries Of all kinds, Victor ma
chimes and records, confectionery, sta
tionery, cigars, toilet goods and mod
ern soda fountain comprise some of
the departments.
One feature of which the brothers are
exceptionally proud is their stock Of
biological products, of which they keep
a complete and fresh assortment. They
say that with these various vaccines
and serums easily and quickly avail
able to their people the latter are more
fully protected against contagious
and have latest scientific methods
FOR relief. 1t is an expensive depart
ment to maintain, but there has been
at least one instance in which life was
saved through it, and that, they say,
amply compensates any expense the
department may be.
The store has its own heating and
electric light plants, and cool con-
crete walled and floored basement.
The Anderson brothers also own
the Columbia theater at st. Johns,
which has its own heating and light
ing plants. It is handsome little
