Druggist Rewarded For Square
Dealing And Tenacious Efforts

One of the most stable busI-
nesses in the state of Arkansas
is the Floyd Drug Company, COZ
West Ninth Street, this city,
founded in 1880, during the mid
die of the century's most devas-
tating depression by DR.. S. F.
Floyd, whose assets consisted of
experience and confidence in
mankind. Dr. Floyd ventured
in the direction of ownership
during the days that many bus
inesses, white and colored, were
closing their doors This bust
ness didn't open doors with any
encouragement from the Negro
buyer, but was opened because
1t was community necessity.
Even in those days the recogni-
ton given it was more or less
from d standpoint of convenience
which added to the already
dark days that doomed before
the vision of this pioneer. But,
after spending eleven years with
the Foster Drug Company, DIR.
Floyd, with his knowledge of the
medical science knew that the
people would eventually realize
the necessity of what they need
ed instead of what they wanted,
and built one of the leading
drug stores in the middle west.
Dir, Floyd has kept from four
to five employees on his payroll
every since his advent into bus
mess, and each employee is Civ
en- the benefit of his years of
courteous treatment and service
with a smile. The establishment
is always neat and up-to- date
and carries a full line of nation
ally advertised commodities. Any
tolietries that are found in the
Main Street Drug Stores, are
found in this West Nineth Street
store, which is a blessing for the
raace-minded Negro whose pride
resents insulting remarks from
narrow minded color-s struck
clerks, sometimes found in estab-
operated by others.
