HEGEMAN DRUG STORES, YOU ARE SAFE WHEN You Ri A Nearly a Century of Public Service Its Reward: The Greatest Drug Store Business in the World — Away back before the Mexican War —before the telegraph: had been heard of—before half the people of this coun- try had seen a locomotive—two young New York men decided to go into the drug-store business. In 1825 William Hegeman estab- lished a drug store at the corner of Broadway and Walker Street. In 1846 Wm. B. Riker opened a drug store ‘‘’way up town’’—as it seemed to New Yorkers then—at Twenty-second Street and Sixth Avenue. hese two men were not partners, but they had one thing in common, and that was an Ideal as to how to conduct a drug store. Both of them could have used the same motto over the door— “SAFETY AND SERVICE.” . WILLIAM HEGEMAN. stores, hundreds of drug stores have come and gone, but the Hegeman and the Riker businesses have out- lived their undert by many years, have thrived and rospered and grown great. From one store on lower Srosddes. the Hegeman system has expanded until to-day it has twenty-one stores in and around New York City. From one store ‘‘’way up town on Sixth Ave.” Riker has grown to a mighty chain of twenty- nine stores in New York and New Jersey and twenty- one other stores in New England. } Alongand honorable business career is not founded on accident. As a general thing, only that succeeds which deserves to'succeed. There may be short-live exceptions, but when two concerns, each inspired by the same ideal, live and prosper Sherage nearly a hundred years it is safe to say that that ideal is right. The Hiegeman: and the’ Riker drug stores have served the public best, or they could not have.con- tinued in business during all these years. Looking Forward. And now these old, well-known New York institu- tions have come together, and will hereafter be operated as one concern, You are interested in this as well as we, : You are interested because this union means even better service, highest quality and lower prices than have ever been known in the history of drug stores. Better service: The combined Riker -Hegeman system gives us a splendid geographical distribution of stores. Forty-nine of them in and around New York City, so located that a large proportion of the population can reach them conveniently. . Better service: In each of these stores you will find a very large stock—incomparably larger and more varied than is possible in any neighboring store —and every drug, eanical: root, hare or article of merchandise of the highest quality and in perfect con- dition. You will be accurately and promptly served with snrtbing you need, : Our ability to buy and sell in lots of a| hundred or a thousand times as great as the ordinary druggist or department store drug department means that drugs, chemicals, etc., in Riker and Hegeman stores are always pure and fresh. ‘‘You are safe when B sae buy of Riker and Hegeman,’’ safe because no stale or weakened drugs are possible in a stock which moves so rapidly. Better service: Intelligent, well trained, courteous salespeople. We employ none but the highest grade of store assistants, insisting on experts in each department. You are safé when you buy anything | of Riker-Hegeman. d| will not handle any In the years since Wm, Hegeman and Wm. B. Riker opened their first WM. B. RIKER” e believe that we are now giving our cus- tomers a quality and quantity of service superior to that possible in any ome drug store. at our confidence is well founded is proven by the enormous patronage accorded us by the public. But our desire 1s to constantly improve. We prom- ise you that we will continue unremittingly in our efforts to serve you even better in the future than we have in the past. . _ Highest Quality: Frankly, there is no way to improve the quality of our goods. We positively of ‘‘second’’ quality. When matters of health are at stake we believe that nothing but the:best is. good enough. When you buy of us your are safe because you know that no quality but the highest ever finds its way into any Ribals Hegeman store. “’ ° Lowest Prices: Our enormous retail business— . aggregating more than the total of several hundred or inary drug stores—enables us to own and operate laboratories. and factories, and the products of these laboratories and factories are sold direct to you. he profits of all the middlemen are cut out, and you receive the benefit in goods of the highest quality at the lowest price. _ Goods which we do not manufacture, we buy direct from manufacturers in the largest wholesale quantities at the lowest wholesale prices. On many lines ‘our prices to you are as low as the ordinary retailer has to pay; always our prices are the very lowest consistent with highest quality. e depend on our large volume of business for our profits. : f like the ordinary retailer, we are not com- pelled to make our profits out of one store or from ° one small stock of goods. Our annual ‘‘turnover”’ in any one of our stores is equal to, that of a dozen or a score of ordinary drug stores. * A small percentage of profit on. a large volume of trade builds -a.more permanent, safer and more desirable business than a large percentage of profit on a small volume of trade. We prefer 8 per cent: profit on a business of $15,000,000 a year to 20 per cent. profit on a business of $1,000,000 a year. Because our plan enables us to carry a large stock and thus to serve our customers accurately and promptly; to employ the best assistants, and thus to add to the safety of our customers; and, finally, by giving our customers the lowest prices and the best service we secure their confidence and insure our- selves a continuance of their patronage: We Cordially Invite You to Call. If you have not yet proven for yourself the benefits of Riker-Hegeman service, quality and prices, we cordially invite you to call at any one of our stores and thousands of satisfied customers give us their business. see for yourself the reasons why several hundred Come whether you want to buy or not. Come in and look around. You will be treated with every courtesy—we will esteem it a pleasure to have you visit us. ~ Sincerely, ‘e Vice-President and General Manage. You Are Safe When You Buy at
