MAKING THE WINDOW PRODUCE.-Most druggists realize that the selling force of any display is materially increased by the use of effective show-cards, but many of them have been handicapped in their display efforts because of their inability to procure suitable cards. To overcome this objection, the M. P. Gould Company is offering what it calls a window trimmer showcard service. The service is a complete window trimmer, display service, and show-card selling force combined. It furnishes super-attractive displays, supplemented by exceptionally artistic show-cards. The service is offered at a reasonable price and on most conducive terms. If preferred, the show-card service alone, without the window-trimmer equipment, can be bought at a much lower price than is usually charged for cards of equal excellence. Information and terms concerning either or both of the services can be secured by addressing the M. P. Gould Company, 120 West 32d Street, New York City.

IT BOOSTS THE BUSINESS AND CREATES ROOT BEER SALES! Like a mammoth crystal stein in appearance is the newly-devised dispenser for Rochester Root Beer. The dispenser is fitted with a dripless plunger pump of rugged and heavy construction which automatically ejects enough syrup to make, with the addition of carbonated water, a "man's size" drink of rich, refreshing Rochester Root Beer. When served from the dispenser in an optic glass stein having the name "Rochester Root Beer" etched deep into the face, the drink is one that satisfies the thirsty patron and leads to repeat sales. Druggists who are not featuring root beer at their fountains will find that the installation of the new "Rochester" dispenser will put them in a position to obtain and to create much additional business. The combination of rich root beer drawn from the attractive dispenser and served in crystal steins is one that is meeting with gratifying success wherever adopted. Rochester Root Beer is manufactured by the J. Hungerford Smith Company, Rochester, New York, and to enable druggists to make the drink a leader at their fountains the company has several propositions, graded as to quantity, whereby the dispenser, a supply of optic glass steins, and a complete window display may be secured with the goods. Better write to the company to-day, mentioning the BULLETIN OF PHARMACY, and ask for details of the proposition.

He would only want to censor it.-Judge. FOR ten years the Franco-American Ferment Company, of New York City, has confined all its scientific energies to one object-the production of superior bacillus bulgaricus products. As a result of this specialized study, the company has produced a line of products which is claimed to be as nearly scientific perfection as is possible from a rigid adherence to the exactions of the celebrated investigator (Metchnikoff) of the Bulgarian peasants' "longlife" ferments. Druggists who are interested in the subject of bacillus bulgaricus culture are invited to write to the company for instructive information. The address is 225-227 Sixth Avenue, New York City. THE SIX-CENT CIGAR.-That the 6-cent cigar is bound to come in the regular course of events is regarded as certain. In view of the increased cost of everything in connection with the production of cigars, the manufacturer must either reduce the size or quality of his cigars, or get more money for them, and the latter will be the prevailing method of meeting the existing conditions. This increased cost, of course, the retailer must pass along to the consumer, and it will, no doubt, come to pass that the nickel cigar of to-day will soon be selling for 6 cents. The odd-price in the cigar business has not hitherto prevailed, except in cases of special sales, but there is no reason why a cigar should not sell for 6, 7, or 11 ccnts or any other like figure. We pay odd cents for almost every other commodity we use, and the adoption of the custom by cigar retailers can be easily accomplished when the consumer understands the cause. There may be a little friction for a time, but if the retailers work as a unit-and here is where an association could prove beneficial-it can be accomplished. Patience and plenty of pennies to facilitate changemaking is all that will be necessary. - Cigar and Tobacco Journal.

"AND WHAT, my dear Harrison, do you do with yourself in the evenings?" inquired his old college tutor, who had come to visit him at his rural retreat. "Well," replied young Harrison, evasively, still feeling a little of the awe for his visitor, "one reads, you know, works with the microscope, and occasionally has a game of chess with the vicar. But, by the way, sir,. I know you are interested in country dialects, and they tell me one hears the cream of them at the Golden Lion over there. Shall we look in and investigate?"
