DR, LONGWELL BUYS DRUG BTORE, Registered Pharmacist on Job and the Old Stand Will Take on New Lease of Life, -To be Beautitied and Better Equipped, The Centre Hall drug store, best Enown by the name of Murray’s drug store, changed hands Saturday morp- ing when Dr. H. H. Longwell pur- chased the drugs and patents from H. A. Dodson, who conducted the store for a,period of fifteen months. It is the third change of ownership since the death of Mr, Murray, a few years ago, the etore’s vicissitudes being due to the want of a qualified pharmacial to compound prescriptions and d's pense druge., With the late change, however, a real drug store is assured, for Dr, Longwell has secured the ser- vices of Harry Kline, of Btate College, a young man who is a graduate of the pharmaceutical school of the Universary of Pittsburgh. The doctor purposes making the drug store up-to-date in every way so that besides meeting the demands of an exgciing public it will also be a credit to the town. Already the painters are at work on the interior woodwork and a complete renovation will take place in due time, giving the store the appearance of a first-class drug store—clear, sanitary, and efficient, i fe fii LOUALS Prof. L.
