Moore Funeral Home Fwenty-fourth and Wirt Street* Formerly Crnxhy^fonre Funeral Home I Service beyond Price STOP a moment and consider the time when the health and possibly the life of a member of your family depended upon the knowledge, skill and integrity of your druggist. You realized the importance of his position then—you told your self that your druggist was a man of sterling worth—that he de served your greatest respect, confidence and support. Have you forgotten your druggist? Do you realize that if he depended upon the filling of prescriptions entirely that he could not exist—and that he must of necessity depend upon the sale of toilet goods, candy, cigars, magazines, drug accessories and scores of other home needs in order to stay in business. Don’t consider your druggist merely as an “emergency” man—a good Samaritan in a crisis. Your druggist is your friend. He de serves the patronage you thoughtlessly give to others that right fully belongs to him. Consider these things when you buy articles that are sold by your druggist. Remember that he is “more than a merchant’’—that the Registered By Law Druggist is an important factor in the health and well being of your family, yourself and your commun ity. Buy all your drug store needs of your neighborhood druggist. These Druggists Are Registered hy Law for Your Protection Their service is truly a “service beyond price." They are “on guard” from early morn till long after other business houses have closed—awaiting the call that may save the life of one of your loved ones. Patronize your Registered by Law druggist at every opportunity.' ARMSTRONG'S PHARMACY *201 Military Ava. WA. 0508. AUXIER'S PARKVALE PHARMACY 3024 S. 32d Ava.
