And when this "floculent" kets of the pickers, and golden lemons in powder settles it is as soft as shimmering for the use of virile womanhood with arts and wiles. And so you get the udre which fills the compacts which yap y at Bolger's Drag Store in McHenry.v* In the rose gardens of the Turkish empire, whence the Attar of Roses comes, the women work in the fields of ffcwers. For y centuries it has been the height of odesty for a Turkish woman to reveal face. While at their labors it is cus- , tomary for them to wear but a single garment. Strangers passing by these rose . I^ardens or visiting them are astonished to <tee these women in. the torrid heat of a |ummer's day lift that one garment and throw it over their faces. That is their " |dea of modesty. So Attar of Roses is 1 made in the land of Genii and fables, and k'l jharems and so perfume of many grades and flood of the Mississippi hurries to join the ~ blue waters of the Mexican Gjilf, there is a genial old Hebrew in the second-hand furniture business. ( In one of the cheaper quarters of the city his four-story building is crowded from basement to roof with the flotsam of former homes. Walking amid his dark aisles one night he said to a visitor: "You know, sometimes, I have vished dese tings could talk. I vould like to have them tell me vot they know." Did that thought ever strike you in a drug store? When you buy a phial of quinine can you see the raven-black locks, the wrinkled, leathery skins, the bowed backs of Peruvian women stripping bark from Cinchona trees? That is how we get quinine. From the foothills of the Andes the bark comes in bales to be worked over and manufactured _ , , ^ for Bolger's Drug Store at McHenry. y^^ffcHenry0^^ ° F Cascara Sagrada is the name of a shoul- „ d*r-high bosh. It grow. In thicket, where In even so a,mple a matter aa lce Cream the beea drone and the bird, bnfld their" nests. Youngsters gather the baric and tie ^b mg brooks and contented cow, gru the boxes when the sorting is finished; Well, that is the way the Citric Acid comes to Bolger's Drug Store at McHenry. It passes through many hands and many processes and every one of them is romance itself But the memory of golden hillsides sloping to blue seas persists. it into bundles to supply the purgative principle in modern medicine. There are no birds in West Coast forests. Amid those dark, dimly-lighted, cathedral-like silences the birds never venture. But the cascara sagrada thickets on the forests' edge are alive with life-and song, and nest- < lings. That is something for you to think about when you buy a package of casoarets at Bolger's Drug Store in McHenry. Do you know the meaning of the word "floculent"? That is the way that face powder is made. They blow the powder into a great room and that which falls to the floor is remove^ but that which floats in the air for days and finally settles on, wide, white sheets is put into compacts. Those are roolms where the shafts of light^ fall across these floating particles lik# |ng "Where the long light shakes across the lakes" and the afterglow from the sunset fills the sky with "the glory that never was on land or sea." There are young, fresh voices calling to the cattle at milking time and shining pails of creamy fluid. <Jreat trucks that hurtle themselves over e highways and an army of men and women making rich confections so that you may enjoy them in Bolger's Soda Nook at McHenry. You have no idea how many preparations owe their richness to Citric Acid, and Citric Acid comes from lemons. Did you ever see a grove of lemon trees? The odor ..v jis of cloying sweetness in the springtime Inland when the fruit is ripe in the autumn (jand the sun strkes among the trees, it eems as though the whole world were Idled with gold. Golden sunlight, golden ^emons on the trees, golden lemons in b|it?" Can't you see the darkies in the fields of cotton, singing their spirituals, their baskets on their wooly heads as they pluck the ripened blooms from which comes the cotton gauze and bandages which you get in Bolger's Drug Store at McHenry? From "way down yander in the land of cotton" comes the material to bind cuts and sometimes to save a life. At the counter where you buy cigars, cigarettes, and tins of pipe tobacco the very air is filled with romance. "Vuelta abajo" means "of the lower valleys" where it is hot. It must be very, very hot to ripen tobacco. The hot sun of Spanish America, the incredible hot sun of Porto Rico and the Philippines, the heat of the Carolinas, Kentucky, Virginia and Maryland, the very names of which are rich with the memories of romance. And that is where the tobacco, cigars and cigarettes come f r o m t h a t y o a m ? at McHenry. ' .• ^ ^ C * How wonderful it is to walk about ftiis place of yours sometimes when the store is closed and wish that all these things could talk .to us and tell us of the strange Iff-nda they come from--talk to us and talk £0 each other. * iThe next time that you sit here waiting for one of our delicious drinks or while the courteous attendant is serving you at the counter, just look about you and think how many miles these materials have been brought to serve you, how many thousands of human beings, how many scores of lives 'M.- k ":lr T • V** • "• ' .. *$7 > '*>' , •/ •• /: it
