Beautiful Floor
One of Features
Of Drug Store

One Of the most noticeable Tea.
lures Of the Cisneros Drug Store
No. 2. which will open on Elizabeth
street Friday. is the beautiful
floors, the special linoleum having
been supplied by the Borderland
Hardware Co.
The floor is made up Of marble
inlaid pattern of jet black blocks
alternating with rrayish white. Civ
ing a marble effect that Is both inn
pressive and beautiful. The floor
was laid by experts and il cemented
to the deadening felt which renders
il almost noiseless. An i6-inch bor-
der adds very materially to the
beauty.
The floor covering was selected
by Mr.. Cisneros several weeks ago
from the great variety carried by
the Borderland Hardware Co. and
was in readiness for laying as soon
as the work on the store front had
been completed and the fixtures in
stalled. Several days were required
by the experts to lay the flooring,
the seams and joints being so close
" laid and cemented that il Is i'm
possible to detect them except BY
close scrutiny.

schools. During the first years he
was employed in the Eagle Pharmacy
he studied pharmacy, later passed the
necessary examinations and on Janu-
airy 10, 1917, was granted a license by
the state board Of pharmacy. He was
employed as pharmacist in the Eagle
Pharmacy two years before opening
his own establishment.
Mr.. Cisneros made his start in a
small way. His stock was small, but
Ie had a wealth of energy and the
faculty of securing and retaining
friendships. Year after year the
C~isneros Drug store developed, More
varied and more extensive stocks
we're secured to meet the demands of
a growing business, and two years
ago the store installed a modern soda
fountain. which has proved one of the
most popular in the city.
In 1925 Mr.. C~isneros determined tc
purchase the building in which he
was located and remodel IL to meet
the requirements of his business. The
entire structure was renovated; the
most modern fixtures installed, and
the Cisneros Drug Store became one
of the most complete and best ap-
pointed establishments in the lower
border country.
