Why Drug Stores Sell Stamps. Drug stores are open many hours good-natured druggist in days passed realized many people wrote letters and come to him for this courtesy until now they look to him for their | supply at any time. Many people, a something 'they see and often good customers are made by the sale of a postage stamp. Sometimes the druggist his nerves, and when asked to change a ten-dollar bill for a three-cent stamp he thinks {t an imposition and justly so, too. Then some one comes in and wants a big parcel weighed, borrow the city directory, use the | telephone and growl about the street car service. Mr. Druggist begins to wonder why cruel fate called him to be a druggist. People of to-day resent impositions, and while this old-time custom {is still maintained by most of the druggists in the city, there is nothing to prevent them from saying: "The time is come when we do not have to do this --it is not our business, and why should we worry and fuss any more?" Hence this is a tip to the people who demand too much to use a little more discretion in the future if they { want the night mai] clerk to stamp | their letters.
