W6w T am drawn lnio a political fight. Against my will, againgt - my inclination and contrary to all the facts in the case incautious pefsrW sons, who 'may not be possessed of the facts, may allow themselves to believe that I am a politician instead of a druggist. Oome into mf storeand i«!eteftig«t^e closeof abusy day, you will find order, cleanliness, neatness and more cleanliness froiii the front door to the back. Won't your good sense tell you I can't keep a store as big as this as clean as I do and play politics? Look at my paint department. You can get almost any kind of paint here you want and in almost any quantity. Here are paint brushes, the best brushes that mpney can buy; the best brushes that anybody makes at prices low and quality high. Look at the modern fixtures I have in this store, fit for a city ten times bigger than McHenry. All a part of cleanliness, order and neatness. Books, [, we don't pretend to be a book store, but you can ge% some quite good reading matter here. There are late, there are new, and there are the sort of stories you will enjoy reading. There are en*y tertaining stories not too heavy and yet selected for your and satisfaction, i* prices you can afford to pay. V t r Do you suppose I have time to concentrate on such a business and play politios, too? ^ i- "4^ same Ast any physician as to the kind of drugs yoa get here. They are pure drugs bought from the greatest sources in American industry, according to the standards and ratings of the pharmacopoeia. You know a man can't play politics and run a business like this; f#6r the other must nftm, . Look at the metropolitan fountain that is in this store, see how it shines; how inviting it is. Observe its neatness, cleanliness, orderliness.! You know many hundreds of my customers, through the whol#| of the summer season, come from the great cities and are accustomed t<lfe V' the finest in food service that money can buy. It has been my pride that no customer in any city anywhere could find in his own I town a cleaner, better ordered fountain than mine, or procure better service at any .price than he gets hen*-- : J. ! *• . . r. . . ' " Why, a child buying a 5c sack of peanuts is treated with the same courtesy here as a woman from the City who comes for a $5 flacon of . Houblgant's rich and rare perfumes. Supplementing our book department, we have daily newspapers, souvenirs of every sort, penpants, postcards, bathing caps and beach shoes are here in profusion. Why, man, we have entirely too much merchandise in this store and our problem of turnover is entirely too important for us to bother with politics. Had you asked m# tfe> weeks age, I would havo said I didn't dtfe who was postmaster of McHenry. Of course when the proposition cam# up and the postmaster was to be changed anyhow, I took the oppor*, tunity to get preferment for a man who has served me long and welly : who has gone as far with me as he could go and who deserved promo • tion beyond what I could give him. I did exactly what you or anyone else would do; I put his name "in the hat" and I hoped he would get ^ the job. That was the beginning and end of m£ "politicking." That's going to cost me sokfethiiig. I'll have to l&ik in a new . man, I'll ha veto do even more work myself; I'll have to acquaint new clerk with the thousands of items I have in this store. , Thiiit*4 allright , ( I helped the other fellow to get ahead. Come in and buy some purses, goods here at reasonable prion You will find the lovliest of leather m We have both.. v Look at my cigar counter and see the wide line, the almost inexhaustible assortment of smokefft' preferences that yon or any other customer may buy fromme^ i Do ftm think I have timeio run a business like this and mix up in politics on the side? -- ----- ~ ~" Sheer nonsense! t Did yon ever notice my department of toilet necessities and accessories? * There is a Ford car bearing a Nebraslga license parked in front of my store and just beyond that a town car, with a chauffeur in livery, from the North Shore. One buys a lotion for his sunburned hands and the other buys a vial of the essence of roses. Bach goes away satisfied, each has been courteously treated, and each got just what he wanted at a fair priotf. , And the candy counter! Why, there are confectionery stores in the big cities that don't pre- Drop into our refectory. It's the little nook at the left of our fountain, built of fumed and weathered oak, in Old dgrle, after the Gothic period, and you can eat a dish of ice cream from the top of any table in the plao*. That's how clean it is. - Note the long distance telephone booth we have for your convenience, the radio reception, the women's retiring room, not od1j,hh^ but miraculously clean. ^ 1 " Why we even have one department devoted to rehgious «»mKU»w prayer books, rosaries, and the ikons and symbols of devout worship. The thing, perhaps, we are proudest of is that perfume department, with its essence of flowers, its odeurs by Houbigant and Cheramy. No, friends, finally believe that I have the best drag store--else of the town and population considered--to be found anywhere in. Northern Illinois, and every man who reads these lines knows how hard I have worked to develop this business to the point where it serves you and your town so weU. # • ' ' " - • ' It is unfair to embroil me in a political discussion concerning which I have no interest other than to see a good "guy" get ahead. Of course! I have my friends as you have. I can't be loved by everybody any more than you can, and I can't love everybody without cheapening my friendship. Other than that I am interested in my business, I am interested in my trade, I want you to be a customer of this store, I want the opportunity to serve you, and we have lots of things here which you need*every day you live. Pure drugs, expertly compounded, under conditions of absolute cleanliness, in the neatest of surroundings, and the spirit of glad service to go sincerely and happily with every transaction. i rt haven't time to play politics. «>j I ctrr-si "TOM" BOLGER "Just a Druggist" McHENRY f'.;(' ' A"?i Af * • *5: Li?.- • ' '
