MERRtTT'S NEW DTIUO STOnE. T.OCATKD IN TUB CORNER OP THE NEW
FOURTH AND FARNAM STREETS.
HARMS? HOTKD, TWRNTT-
The three Merritt brothers A. K., Jcaae
nnd Joe born and raised In Omaha, have.
Joined forces after more than twenty
years of Independent work and will pull
together to malco the Merritt drug store
In the new ilarley hotel, building at Twen
tieth and Farnam streets a model Insti
tution of Its kind.
'Our motto will be. "It It has merit.
Merritt will have It," Bald A.,E. Merritt,
"We have purchased' the finest and new
est In everything. The store will be up-to-date.
The service wll be good, the
proscription department excellent and the
goods sold of the highest quality."
Jesse Merritt, for many years clerk at
the Rome hotel, will havo charge of the
business end of the new store. He has
quit the Rome to take up this now work.
Joe Merritt will have charge of tho phar
maceutical department.
The proscription 'department of the new
store Is to be In tho balcony, above the
noleo pf the street optrance trade. The
soda fountain, the cigars and o'verythlng
4has been arranged with. a view to giving
tho best possible service for the least
money, although 'the idea of "cheapness"
has been thoughtfully shunned.
Jesse Merritt, who takes charge of tho
business department of tha new store, Is
widely acquainted In tho city and the
thrco brothers have hosts of friends who
aro watching with Interest the new ven
ture. Joo Merritt, who takes charge of the
pharmaceutical department, has been
identified with a drug store on Douglas
street Ho will still retain his lntorost in
this latter store.
Merrltts are planning to specialise In
prescriptions at this now store. Every
thing has been done to guarantee expert
work in tho prescription department.
But what will appeal to a large num
ber of peoplo la tha soda fountain tha
Merrltts have Installed. This Is a "classy"
affair, but Its class docs not Interfero
with efficiency. Ono of tho beat coolers
obtainable has been placed In tho store,
and the service, under the direction of
Jesse Merritt, must be "good and quick,"
for Josso has been accustomed to seeing
that the public was treated right.
"I'm atllt a greetcr," said Jesse, "nnd
intend to keep right oh being a grceter.
My idea is that Intro's as much room for
tho right sort of treatment at a drug
storo as there Is at a hotel, and that's
tho kind of treatment our patrons will
get here."
A choico lino of cigars have been pur
chased. Tho brands Include alt of the
cigars commonly smoked.
While Jesse will havo direct charge of
the new store, the two brother will as
sist him at vnrlous times, besides help
ing him to secure the professional, ex
pert help needed In a drug store. A. H.
Merrlt, who has been In the drug busi
ness for twenty years, will not sever
his connection with tho Myers-Dillon
store, In which he has an Interest, but
much of his time will bo given to boost
ii g tho now establishment
When the Merrltts decided to go into
this venture they sought to secure tha
best location In the city not already
occupied, and they believe Twentieth
and Farnam will prove to bo such n
place. The steady growth of the busi
ness district west on Farnam has put
Twentieth street Into a very whirlpool
of Industry.
Tho three brothers, all graduates of '
the Omaha. High school, plodded along
In their separate ways for several years
after leaving school. Finally they de
cided that success lay In the way of
co-opcratlon and they put their savings
and their sources together and decided
to devoto their time henceforth to suc
cess In tho career of druggists.
"And the best way to be successfully,"
they agreed, Vis .to give the best ser
vice, havo tha best equlptnont and the
highest grade of merchandise to sell.
If It Has Merit,
Merritt Has It
And such will be the case with every article sold
at Merritfs Pharmacy Store No. 2 at 20th and
Farnam Sts.
A complete stock of the best Drugs,
Sundries, Toilet Articles, Candies and
Cigars will be handled by this new firm
The Prescription department will be superintended
by an expert pharmacist, and it will be Merritt's
first and last thought to serve courteously, promptly
and satisfactorily. Untiring efforts w Jl be made at all
times to satisfy everyone who patronizes this store
Deliveries will be made free to any part of the city.
Make this store your waiting place when transferring
Our most modern soda fountain will, like
the rest of the store, handle the most
palatable and delicious of drinks and
refreshments at all times of the year.
