our depositors' interests go to make
this institution a safe, substan

If the citizens would only see the
idea of the Lyceum course we can
not helieve any one would hesitate
to buy season tickets even if there
was a chance of their not being able
to atttend every number.
The Lyceum is the only chance of
bringing real wholesome entertain
ment to a t-mall place like Murray,
and parents who want their children
to have the opportunity of attend
ing worth while entertainments can
not profitably withhold their sup
port from the Lyceum. Vet some
have to be fairly begged to support
the Lyceum course and hesitate to
buy a season ticket for fear of r.oi
being able to attend every session
and thereby losing 50 cents or :o.
When we cau see the real mo'ive
of the Lyceum for the small town,
then, and onlv then, will the lev
i not have to beg the many to buy a
I season ticket.

a merchant in order to merit patronage
should first carry sufficient stock to care
for any reasonable demands made upon
it. Second, it should be priced correctly.
Too large a profit is robbery, and too
small, bankruptcy and neither benefits
a community.
Our aim is to carry a complete line of
Drugs and Drug Sundries so priced
that we can live, and yet supply any
