DRUG NOTES.
We would call the attention of druggists to the advertisement of Major’s Cement in our advertising columns. Major’s Cement has a deservedly increasing sale in the United States and is now extensively sold throughout the Dominion. Mr. Major is now giving away to druggists a handsome thermometer 24 inches long with orders for his goods. These cannot help of themselves to be quite an attraction and aid to business, and we would advise our subscribers to write A. Major, 232 William St., New York, mentioning the Canadian Druggist, for prices and terms.
The Stillman Remedies Company, of 58 West 55th St., New York, have opened a Canadian agency for the sale of their celebrated Garfield Tea at 28 Yonge St. Arcade, Toronto, Ont. The trade will be supplied with free sample packages and advertising matter by writing to D. Densmore & Co., 28 Yonge St. Arcade, Toronto, and mentioning the Canadian Druggist.
“You dirty boy” appears in our advertising columns this week. The sale of Pears’ Soaps is now something enormous, and the proprietors are spending their thousands in bringing and keeping them before the public. No druggist’s stock is complete without a full assortment of these goods. J. Palmer & Son, of Montreal, are the Canadian agents for Pears’ Soaps and carry a complete stock of them, together with a large variety of druggist’s sundries, toilet goods, sponges, etc.
Smith & McGlashan’s travellers are now on the road with samples of holiday goods in all materials and designs. An inspection of their samples will satisfy you as to the excellency of their goods.
We would draw the attention of the trade to Lyman, Knox & Co.’s advertisement (on the inside of cover opposite first page) of some of their specialties. This young and enterprising firm have made a place for themselves in the front rank of the trade, and we are pleased to say that they deserve the confidence and popularity so quickly gained.
