on Saturday when PettyjOhn's
New Pharmacy was opened. The
atmosphere was there, but the
setting was certainly a new one.
All of the old things, which as
sociation had made a part of us,
were gone, but as we become
accustomed to the new ones and
the glitter has been rubbed off
a bit, we will forget that it
wasn't always so, so prone are
we to adjust ourselves. We con-

gone into the equipment of their
new store for the pleasure and
