Grand Opening of Kopper's
Drug StOre-Gas Station

architects, builders and various
skilled labor crafts have been
busy as bees on the new Koppers
drug store and filing station
project across the stree from the
Post Office. Today the building
is completed and the various
apparatus appertaining to such
an enterprise installed.
The building is of white stucco
backed by cement blocks-a big
dazzling white building that is
as modernistic and skillfully
designed as any building at the
New York Worlds Fair.
Keystonites have watched the
new drug store and filling STA
ton gradually take form and
blossom out ia it's present
beauty, they now are proud tp
have tourists and visitors see
the modern new building and to
hear them comment on the
general newy look of Keystone
"the Garden Spot of the l'ni-
verse;"
The Times takes pleasure in
making note of Keystone's new
business, and it is fully aware
of the compliment the great
Koppers company is paying to
Keystone and it's future in set
ting up such q magnificent and
needed establishment here. We
have always believed in Key
stones future and predict that
the confidence in it shown by the
giant Koppers concern will be
very shortly be proven justified.
| The grand opening of the new
drug store and filling station is
set for this Saturday, October
18th. Word to this effect has
gone forth from the office of the
G. T. Apperson, Koppers District
Manager. A vast crowd is ex-
pected to be on hand to help this
new venture get off to a flying
start and the music of the cash
register bells evidence they did
not come solely to look.
I Seriously speaking, the new
drug store and filling station has
been badly needed.
The new establishment carry
ing so wide q hne Of rnerchan-
disc and W hero each Koppers
copper buys full value certain
!! ly appeals to the man who earns
it in the mines.
The welcome sign is out on

And everyone is expected to fee
at ease. Service there will be
the finest that can be provided

It was the custom to write
the lead editorial for the
celebration of the Fourth of
July, with lines about sky
rockets and fire-crackers. 1t
is more appropriate, in these
days, to write the Independ-
ence feature about the steer
ing wheel. Today it is the
steering wheel that is more
symbolic of the Glorious
Fourth than is the pin wheel.
Watch the papers for the
aftermath in traffic accidents
which follow such a holiday,
if you doubt our fears. To
dwell on the theme of a
great nation, founded in lib
erty and justice is fitting.
We write of a nation travel
ling the highways to death
and destruction. We are a
free people, but often too
free on the thoroughfare for
our own good!
There is joy in our hearts
that this day finds us a

OUR INDEPENDENCE

nation of individuals. But
this also means that it is
each ones problem to care
for the safety and well being
of his fellow man. Such an
act was given to us by those
who signed the famed Decla-
ration of independence. They
wrote our Liberty, shall we
wreck it by fool-hardy and
reckless driving? Is it wise
to celebrate independence by
holding the hand on the
horn or the foot on the
brake? The declaring of in
dependence of a nation is
meritorious when that coun-
try is wise and justified in
demanding freedom. The
declaring of the motorist of
his freedom usually leads to
disaster as he celebrates the
holiday. Let the auto driver
sign his declaration of indie
pendence of those very care
less acts which take the SAT-
ETY. and pursuit of happiness
from a liberty-loving people.
