Show GODBE-PITTS STORE NOTJHHOF PAST Pioneer Drug Firm Remains in Business at the Old Stand. It was far from tho intontion of Tho Tribune, in its article of Saturday morning, morn-ing, concerning tho change at tho God-be-Pitts corner, to put the pionoer God-be-Pitia Drug company out of business. busi-ness. Whilo tho Godbo-Pills Drug company will not occupy the old corner, tho firm will continuo business for years to come, with a Main stroot entrance, about twenty foot down tho street from tho old corner. Tho cigar store will onlj' occupy tho corner and tho frontage front-age on First South, whilo tho drug store will have the remainder of the former location, nnd alterations were begun Saturday on tho new store. The front on Main street will bo in iron and plato glass, whilo tho interior will bo fittod up with golden oak cases and fixtures and an outirely now fountain, tho wholo to cost several thousand dollars. dol-lars. Tho work of mailing will bo pushed, so the new storo can bo opened by tho oud of tho present month, and whilo tho work is going on tho Godbe-Pitts company com-pany will take care of its business in the lomporary quarlors at tho rear of its former location. Tho entranco will remain as of old, until tho now and large Main street doorway is complolcd, which will bo tho first work attended to. The old firm, therefore will likely do business for still anolhor half century cen-tury in its new location in tho same building. |
