HISTORY REPEATS AS BRYDEN
DRUG STORE MOVES TO
NEW LOCATION

Remodeling the Michael S. Hunt building at 215 Live Oak street was completed and Bryden's Drug Store moved in it Thursday.  A new  (missing) set back to make an inviting (missing) (en)trance, new ceiling, tile floor, refinished walls make this one (of the) most attractive buildings in (the busi)ness section of town.

With its occupancy by Bryden's Drug store history repeats itself.  Years ago (about 1880) the late Dr. R. C. Nettles owned a drug store at this same location.  His office was in the rear.

"As long as I can remember this location was the of a drug store until a few years ago," said T. B. Bryden today.  "Keeping up with progress accounts for our recent move.  Our stock will be increased and we can render better service in our new home.  Our fountain service offers greater satisfaction at the new location, also."

The modern drug store which now occupies the building is far advanc(ed) from the drug store of fify ye(ars) ago.  Like the use of medicine, (missing) stores have made rapid pro(gress) since 1880.
