When a mew store _entefs en al- ready crowded field and yet forges to the front én the course of a few months, the only explanation can be that it is giving better values and more satisfactory and courteous ser- vice than are #ts competitors. The brief but highly successful history of Knight's Pharmacy at 280 Prin- cess street, below Clergy, can be ex- plained dn mo other way than the above. ' It was opened for business only fast June, but by service and ad- vertising has established $self with hundreds of customers as "their" drug store. No finer complimont could be paid to Mr. Knight, his staff and his goods. In an effort still further to extend his trade among those who have not yet discovered his estore; Mr. Knight will, to-morrow, give away a tin -of Vivaudau talcum powder with each punchase of that household nocessity, rubber gloves, - themselves marked down 1g only 43 cents.

The net amount of busi- ness in force was over $178,000,000 and the surplus earnings were the highest in the eempiny's history. Oh investments totalling $27,000,- 000, the very excellent rate of 6.96% was earned. The company's record for careful investment has been splendidly maintained. In spite of the large investment in new busi- ness, the company's surplus earn- ings are reported as much the best in its history, which means that the very liberal scale of profits to policy- holders will be maintained and the various additional funds for protec- tion of policyholders are materially strengthened. , The whole report is a most ghati- tying one to all interested in the company's progress and makes a fitting climax to the company's half century of public service.
