WE, the members of the Senior Class, do not wish the readers of our book to be offended by any remarks that may appear herein. We assure you that we have not attempted, and do not wish to injure or insult any one of our schoolmates through the medium of this paper, but that all the material found in this paper is written and pub- lished out of the greatest respect for those whom it concerns. We have undertaken this annual for the purpose of bringing together the classes of the High School. We hope that this will arouse class spirit and be the means of creating a desire to keep a project of this sort alive, and in this way give the Milford High School the reputation of supporting a book of this type. We sincerely trust that the classes following that of 1911 will see that this undertaking is not discontinued during their High School life. TIbe JEbttors. 4 History oj Milford High School. IN 1898 when the Milford schools were consolidated, the High School rooms were on the second floor of the old building on Second Street, South Milford. They started with three teachers and the enrollment was about 60 members. The course was much the same as now, with the exception of Music and Drawing, Ger- man and a few other subjects. A little later a commercial course was introduced into the High School, for it was thought unwise by many that this had been omitted. But it was not a success, for the pupils soon realized that a good High School course was necessary before they could begin to fit themselves for business, so it was discontinued. The first class that was graduated from the High School was in 1901, when one person finished the course and commencement exercises were held. But in 1902 a class of eight graduated. These were all girls, among whom were our present German teacher, Miss Nellie Davidson, and Miss Viva Johnson, a teacher in the grammar grades. Every year since then there has been a class, and most of them have been very good sized for the enrollment of the High School. The largest class is ’07, which had 18; but this year’s class has even two more than ’07. 8 It was while the High School was in this building that the Alpha Phi Literary Society was formed, in 1901. This has always been a great benefit to the students who belong to it, for very interesting meetings are held, and frequently there are special open meetings at which the admission fee of 10 cents is charged. These proceeds have been used to buy stationery for the High School Assembly Room. The school grew so rapidly that soon the need of a larger and mote modern building was realized So the three lots on the corner next to the old school building in North Milford were purchased. tUe buildings removed, and the present High School building erected. The old building was annexed to the new one and used for the Primary grades, for it had been given to the town for a public school, provided it would always be used as such. So in September, 1904. the High School occupied its new home, the second floor of the new building. This is a great im- provement over the old one; for, aside from other conveniences, it is furnished with light and water, telephone, and a system of electric bells. There is a large; bright Assembly Hall, an office and four class rooms. The classes are held pri- vately in these rooms, while in the old building the most of them were in the As- sembly Hall, as there were only two class rooms there. Since the High School has been removed to North Milford, it has made much advancement. It now has an enrollment of 96, and there are six teachers. There arc now taught 3 years of Mathematics; 4 years English, 4 years Latin, and His- tory and Science, all of which were taught in the beginning, but with a much more limited course; but three years of German and Music and Drawing have been added. There are three courses, the first of which, offering Latin, prepares for college. The High School has also a library of 400 volumes. During the last five years, under Mr. Hoover, the present principal, there have been several changes made, which put the school on a much higher stand- ard than before. Mr. Hoover has introduced a new system of marking, that of written work, which is much more satisfactory and definite than the old way, which marked all the oral and little written work. He also started the public speaking in the High School. Rhetori cals are held every Wednesday morning,and although they were never compulsory until this year, now every student must take at least two years of this work. For the past three years oratorical contests have been held in May. Two selected from each class in preliminaries contest for the cup, which was presented to the High School for the purpose by the Class of ’09, who won it the first year. In 1909 it was won by the Class of ’ll, and in 1911 by ’12. Recently there have been several clubs formed in the High School In Octo- ber 1910, the Glee Club was organized by Miss Rberly. the music teacher. This year also Miss Davidson has organized a German club, called the “Deutsclier Verein. ” Separate accounts of this organization will be found among later pages of our book. The Milford High School is now in a very flourishing condition, and it is always proud to be told - as it is almost always by visitors—that it is the largest and best High School, outside of Wilmington, in the State of Delaware.

Of all the classes of M. H. S., The greatest is 1911 ; A wonderful record we’ve made in the school Since September 1907. The first year was a star one, Successes came thick and fast Through Sophomore and Junior years, To the Senior year, at last. We’re sorry to part with our teachers, (They made it hard, all right) But we’re sure they’ll bear sweet memories Of our standard : Gold and White ! E. D. and E. C. J. 16 Elizabeth N. Aldred, “We love her for her wealth of womanhood, her quiet manner, her sweet replies.” As her name would imply, Betty is very lova- ble, modest and reserved. She is a faithful stu- dent, and has made every moment of her Senior year count. She is one of the brightest girls in the class, and has done a great amount of study- ing Betty has not had time to take any active part in class work, but to have this honest sincere girl for a friend is a favor which those who enjoy the privilege prize highly, anil which those who do not enjoy it should seek. She is a member of Alpha Phi. Athletic Association, and Deutscher Verein. Blanche A. Blocksom. “To be merry best becomes her.” Secretary of Alpha Phi, member Athletic As- sociation and Deutscher Verein Tom came to Mil- ford from Saratoga and joined our class in the So- phomore year, and her popularity has constantly increased since she made her debut in the High School. She is a great lover of all sports, espec- ially those of the school. The fact that she is alive contradicts the sayingthat the good die young. Next to sawing a violin, her favorite occupations are looking at fashion plates and trying to play bridge. She is always busy, and carries on fully as much correspondence as all the school put together. Many of her letters come from the other end of the room. Paris T. Carlisle, Jr. ■‘A silver-tongued orator.” Secretary of class, secretary of Business Com- mittee of the Eidolon, member of Alpha Phi, Sec- retary of Athletic Association, member of Deuts- cherVerein. P. T is a remarkably good student. He studies hard, but has a good time along with his work. His accomplishments are numerous and varied, but his poultry and milling interest sur- pass all else. No mischief is planned and carried out without having Paris for the leader. Yet he always manages to escape without having to pay a grave penalty. He is a fine bluffer, and can get into mischief without getting into the slightest trouble. He has done much for the development of the Eidolon ; he is friendly’ with everyone and is sure to win, if for no other reason than because of his agreeable and gener- ous disposition. Thomas Carlisle Collins ‘‘Laugh, and the world laughs with you.” Member of Alpha Phi, and Athletic Asso- ciation. Dick is a quiet, unobtrusive and bash- ful chap. To a casual observer he woidd ap- ptar to be very sober, but those who are well acquainted with him enjoy his witty sayings and his hearty laugh. It it a sure cure for the blues to be with him. He seems very quiet when young ladies are present; but the old proverb that ‘‘still waters run deep,” may apply in this case ; so girls beware! Carlisle, you take undue advantage of us when you present all the girls who sit near you with a box of can ly. Talk about your dead game sports ! Isn’t this an example? 17 Emma Welch Davis. “How far that little candle throws its beams.” Member of Alpha Phi and Athletic Associa- tion and Deutscher Verein. You might think on looking at Emma's picture that she was large, but she isn’t. That is, of course, physically. To see her you wrould wonder how such a small person could have the heart and brain she has. She is al- ways ready to lend a helping hand, and is never too busy to give any desired assistance. If you want anyhting done, go to Emma. She has a won- derful intellect, a modest disposition, and a heart of pure gold. Her friends are many, may they never cease to increase. Mary Draper. “Here’s a true industrious friend -God bless her.” Member of Alpha Phi, Literary Editor of Eidolon, member of Deutscher Verein. Mary’s chief fault, if it may be called a fault, is her unwillingness to get up and speak out. In class meetings she has wonderful ideas and plans, but somebody always has to explain them for her. Notwithstanding this, Mary is one of the best students, and also is very good company. For some years she has been the first aid to the unprepared in English and Latin, and altogether a very good friend in time of need. Her compositions are the wonder of the class, and we have never ceased to marvel at the marks she gets on them. We fully expect to hear some day of the famous novelist, Miss Draper, whom we used to know as just plain Mary. 18 Elma Deputy. “Serenity and cheerfulness were her portion.” Elma is one of that distinguished group which conies from the charming city of Union. Her home city is not to be found on the map, but can be easilv found by anyone interested. She thinks much and says little. If you want to know much alxnit her. you should ask her mother or some of the family, for other people know little. All we know is that she is a good student, and one of those on the honor roll. We hope that she will create more of a commotion in the world than she ever has in the school. May Deputy So very kind and yet so shy.” This is our little Puritan maiden. Others may change, but May is always the same, yesterday, to-day, and forever. In her quiet way she is al- ways your friend. Nothing disturbs her except NOISE. More than one brave youth has stormed the castles of her heart; but after all May’s heart, in spite of this, still has room for every joy, and she has a kind word for all. She is known as Faith, one of the members of the trio, which was a valuable addition to the class during its Sophomore year. iu Eva Deputy. “Fair tresses man’s imperial ra -e enslaves and beauty draws us with a single hair ' ’ Member of Alpha Phi and member of Deuts- cher erein Eva was quite young when she entered the High School, but soon demonstrated the fact that she possessed anything but a child- ish intellect. It is a mystery when she got her work done. Her reports show a fair sprink- ling in the 90’s, but studying is not her main oc- cupation. Oh, no ! She is quite fond of automo- biling with some of the Juniors, and writing notes. The only fault we have to find with Eva is that she is too reserved, and therefore a bit hard to get acquainted with. I hose who know her best, however, find her a loyal and true friend. Mav her untiring energy bring her the success she rightly deserves after parting from the Old High School. Elizabeth C Foulk. “Still waters run deep.” Member of Alpha Phi and member of Deuts- clier erein. This is Elizabeth, who only speaks when spoken to, and when she does, she says the right thing at the right time and in the right way. However, you needn’t ask her for her opinion, unless you are prepared to hear it. She is one of our “Charter members” having started to school with the first few of us, ami has proven her loyalty by standing with us so long. Oh she has suffered the miseries of pestilence (as well as the rest of us), for she has had both the mumps and measles this year. 20 William B Foulk “Before we proceed further, hear me speak.” Editor-in-Chief of the Eidolon, secretary and Treasurer of the Milford Six, member of Athletic Association, and Alpha Phi. Bill has been steadily sawing wood through his High School course He has experienced a great respon- sibility since he assumed the office of editor-in- chief of the Eidolon Bill is a regular giant in stature and has quite a few freckles, but, notwith- standing, he is good natured and at one time claimed to be captain of X. V. Rifle Guards. Captain Bill is the biggest and most skillful bluffer in the High School, and with little trouble leads the teachers to discuss some of his numerous hobbies. He often goes to the second train in the morning—possibly to meet some of his friends from Lincoln. We predict a great future for him because he is the best scrapper and the biggest bluffer in the H.S. Margaret Holzmueller “Pleased with a rattle, tickled with a straw.” President of Alpha Phi and an active member of the Glee Club, Athletic Association and Deut- sclier Verein. Margaret, our musician, is a big (?) bunch of jolly, merry, easy-going humanity. She is really one of the characters of the class. Her favorite song is, “I Don't Know Where I’m Go- ing, But I’m On Mv Way.” She is very studious, but has a rapid method of learning, and does not expend an over amount of effort on her books. She has done a great deal for the Class of ’ll, and has won the friendship of the entire Class on account of her jolty disposition. 21 Elizabeth Jenkins- ''Fashioned so t ■ derly, Young and so fair.” Member of Alpha Phi, Glee Club, Athletic Association, and the editorial staff of The Eidolon. The gieatest fault that we find v iih Elizabeth is that she has no faults at all. She is always dignified, but with a sharp lookout for the sunny and funny side of life. A good student, a delightful companion, and a true friend. She has always been loyal to old 1911, and is willing to do anything for the class, but deliver an oration. She is fond of sleigh rides and measles, and is always ready to smile. May fortune ever smile upon her. Elizabeth is destined to be- come a great artist, and we were fortunate in having such a genius in the class when illustrations were needed for the Eidolon. Marshall Jones ' hove seldom haunts the heart where learn- ing lies.”—Selected by himself. Treasurer of class, treasurer of Business Com- mitteeof Eidolon, treasurer of Athletic Association, member of Alpha Phi and Deutscher Verein When the days were balmy Marshall used to be taken seriously sick, and after getting excused from school, would find it necessary to go out on the lake to recuperate. He has such a fasci until g way. that when he explains why some reprimand should not be administered for some rule he has broken, the teachers cannot help realizing it was only a trifle. He certainly cuts some figure with the ladies. In this respect it is unnecessary to tell him to Brace-up a bit, for he is always on the job. We hope Mart will be able to regain his health when he goes to S otland tnis summer, as the water always seems to revive him. 22 Helen Mahan. 'Give me a theme,’ the little poet cried, And I will do my part.” This young lady has such a checkered career in the H S. that we really cannot take the space to tell the various changes she has made since she has been here. Hut we can say, Helen, that we are glad fate has destined you for a member of old ’ll. Helen is the kind that attends strictly to business, and lets other people’s alone. By the pile of books and papers she is always carrying around with her, u might think she had the weight of a nation on her shoulders, but it is really only the great responsibility of being a senior. She is a cheerful, dependable kind of a girl, who makes others feel comfortable. Joseph Sipple “God made but one man from this mold—one was enough. ’ Joseph has held the office of president of the class through the four years we have been in the High School. He has been very faithful, and has accomplished much without appearing to do so. Joe’s attention is very much taken up by a girl in the Sophomore class, and he is frequently obliged to pass her seat on the way to and from the front of the room. If smiles may be taken in account, these expeditions are very profitable. “Sip” is very fond of the water, and every time he goes near the lake he seems to be obliged to fall overboard. If you must take a swim, please wear a bathing suit or stay off the end of Haswell’s pier. He is a member of the Milford Six, Alpha Phi and the Athletic Association and Deuts- cher Verein. Edith Simpson. “She is of si free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition. Edith is one of the shining lights of our class. In any recitation she is always ready and almost invariably right. Her reputation for good be haviour in school and elsewhere, has never been sullied by the slightest misdemeanor. Others may try to air their knowledge but she does not, though she always has an answer ready. She has a rep- utation for goodness, which is equalled bv none in the world. In order that this shall not make her vain, we must add that she is very tall and thin, and could easily hide behind a bean pole. Stanley Vibbert. “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing.” Member of Alpha Phi, editorial staff of Eido- lon and Deutsclier Verein. This is our little farmer lad. He conies from the thriving town of Shawnee, and from the name you might think he was an In- dian, but his own handle will set you right. Summer evenings Stanley may be seen sitting on the bridge at the mill and singing that touching ballad, “When the Hees are in the Hive,” to a fair rustic maiden by his side. Stanley is the youi g- est member of our class, being only 15 and is short of stature. In warm weather Stanley can always keep cool, for he can wiggle his large ears so that they resemble fans. We are very fortunate in having such a bright boy in our class, and we will always have a kind word and a pleasant remembrance for the Shawnee babe. :4 Bertha Welcome. ‘‘Above the vulgar flight of common souls.” Bertha was always one who had lofty ideas and notions of her own, above the comprehension of the poor mortal minds of her classmates. But, if anyone wants information on any subject what- ever, let him or her go to Bertha, for she has a ready store of knowledge; and the best part about it is, that she is not sparing with it, but imparts it to any one who asks thereof. We have always classed her among our most brilliant members,and she proves herself worthy of it; for besides once receiving a prize in English, she receiver 1 the prize while in the Freshman Class for high standing in mathematics. Member of Alpha Phi and Deutscher Verein. Minnie Wheeler ‘‘The highest degree of earthly happiness is quietness.” Minnie is built lowr down and w'ide out. She says but very little, and was never known to speak to a person of the male sex except on the greatest provocation. She is from the country, and drives to school every day. She is generally supposed to stud3' a great deal, for she never ap- pears rushed or worried, but instead always calm and contented. She holds fast to her ideas as if she were afraid she would never have any more. She has no inclination toward marriage, but intends to become a teacher. We think she will be an honor to her profession. 25 junior class Top Row—Haswell Pierce, Wm Viereck. Dorothy Phillips, Wilson Vinyard. Vernon Pearce, Pearl Messick.

The colors were purple and orange. Motto, “Non Scholae Sed Vitae.’’ Meetings were held on every Wednesday evening. The meetings were open to any one who wished to attend, and the leading feature of the program was the record. The record consists of current events, school news, writings by mem- bers, current events and jokes. The meetings were soon changed to every other Wednesday evening and were only open to the members, but there were two public meetings a year. This made the society more private, and the public meetings were looked forward to with great interest, and an admission of ten cents as at present was charged. Books, pictures and statuary are bought for the school with the 36 proceeds. Last year a bust of Shakespeare, a statue of David and a has relief of “Aurora” were bought. Among the most important events of last year was A DEBATE. RESOLVED : That Women Should Have the Right ok Suffrage, By the Class of 1910 The judges, Mrs. Robert Davis. Rev. H. L. Bunstein and Dr. Phelps decided in favor of the affirmative. The colors were changed by vote from purple and orange to green and gold. In April an operetta was given in the Armory Hall, which was the principal event of the year. This year there wras an open meeting, the subject for which was “James WT. Riley, His Life and Works.” A Travel Talk meeting was held to which each member was allowed to bring a friend. Mr. S. C. Evans, Jr., loaned the society his Radiopticon, and pictures illustrating the different talks were thrown upon the screen. Very good talks were given by Wm. Foulk, Blanche Blocksom, Helen Mahan and Vaules Grier. The record consisted of baby pictures of the Faculty and Senior Class and verses, about each one. Elizabeth N. Aldred Blanche A.

By that time the graduates numbered about fifty, and most of that number signed the constitu- tion. The purpose of the organization has been to promote High School spirit, keep the Alumni in touch with one another and help financially some member of the Association desiring to attend college. This help has been given in the form of a scholarship of $75 a year; raised in 1908-09 by contribution, and in 1909-10 by a Girls’ Minstrel. Thisjear the proceeds of an operetta, “The American Girl,” go toward the fund. The scholarship was awarded the first year to Yensie Vibbert, ’08, and the second to Helen Tatman, ’09, both of whom attended Swarthmore College. During commencement week each year the association entertains the members of the Senior class at a banquet. Hast year a most enjoyable banquet, preceeded by a farce, ‘‘A String of Pearls,” and followed by a dance, was given in the Century Club rooms. These occasions are looked forward to with much enthu- siasm and are the means of renewing our loyalty. It is the aim of the association that all future graduates co-operate with them in this good work. 37 Glee Club Officers: Miss Helen Eberly, Leader. Margaret Holzmueller, President. The Glee Cluh is composed of twenty-one girls. The first public concert was given at the High School on March 22d,and an admission of ten cents was charged; the object being to buy a book on the History of Music for the Library, and also to buy more music for the Club. The concert was a success, and it is hoped there will be more in the future. Kb Athletic Association Business Committee M. H. Pierc2 A. M. Jones P. T. Carlisle, Jr. MEMBERS: Blanche A. Blocksom M.

Jenkins P'rances Jenkins The Athletic Association of the Milford High School was organized in the year 1910 by the High School. A committee of three was chosen to look after all the business interests of the Association, such as keeping the Tennis Court in playing condition, and also to maintain order on the court while in use. Pierce, Jonesand Carlisle were elected as members of this committee. The membership of the As- sociation was small at first, but increased very rapidly, until at the close of the season we had a membership of thirty-seven. This Court was kept open and in good condition for use by the members during the entire season and fall. Here- tofore the young people have never had a place where they could assemble and en- joy a pleasant afternoon of sport among themselves. This organization has given them such a place. Here they can come and indulge in healthful and beneficial exer- cise, and still not annoy anyone. We are trying to organize this Association again this year so that the good work may still go on. We hope that after our gradua- tion some of the members of the High School will take this upon themselves, and see that the court is always kept open ready for service, for there is no place bet- ter than this old shady court to play a good game of tennis, and pass a long after- noon . 89 Deutscher Verein. Officers: President, Eva Deputy Secretary, Emma Davis The “Deutscher Verein” was organized in December, 1910, by Miss Davidson, with Kva Deputy as president. Tliis Club was formed for the purpose of giving the pupils an opportunity for becoming better acquainted with the every day lan- guage and customs of the German people, and thereby arousing more interest in the study of German. A very interesting meeting was held Friday, December 23. It was open to the public and the programme, which consisted chiefly of German songs and recitations, was enjoyed by all. The program was furnished by the members of the German classes, except a solo by Mr. C. J. Holzmueller, and one by Mary Viereck, aged four, both in German. Several of the “Verein” members are corresponding with girls and boys of their own age in Germany and Austria. Some of the German letters have been read in class, and have added greatly to the interest in the department. On Friday, May 12, another meeting was held. German songs were sung by the chorus and by the sextette. Two German recitations were given, and a short play—“KafTee Klatscli”-—was presented by three members of the third-year German class. 40 Hi ken Club Officer .

Jessie Pleasanton, admitted in April, 1909. Patient suffered from injuries sustained in her fall on the evening of the oratorical contest. No bones broken; but a severe case of “Humilitis” developed, which was only relieved when Balsam of Victory was applied the following year. 42 Case V. Grace Savage, admitted February 18. Pulse 101. Temperature ab- normal. respiration labored. Patient found to be suffering from bad case of “Tremulo Tremulitis,” which became aggravated at each Glee Club rehearsal.

This pitiful case is supposed to have been developed by passing notes, hunting material, and reading Green’s History. Allen’s Foot Ease administered to a good end. If he had not nine lives like a cat, he would have been dead long ago. Undertaker discouraged. POETRY AND HUMOR. (WITH APOEOGIES TO EONGFEELOW.) Tell us not in mournful numbers Geometry’s but an empty dream ; For the man’s dead that wrote it — Whether it killed him remains to be seen. Geometry’s real ! Hoover’s earnest! And if marks are but our goal. We learn all that he doth give us For we work with heart and soul. It’s not enjoyment, but it’s sorrow, That’s our destined end and way, We are scared lest each to-morrow, Bring a Geometry test our way. 4'{ A test is Ion but time is fleeting, And our hearts though stout anil brave, Hope those original propositions Will not drive us to the grave. In this school’s broad field of learning, 12th English seems to sap our life ; Oh ! Seniors, be not like dumb cattle, Be like heioes in the strife. Trust not memor)-, but bring notebooks, And learn your lines a week ahead ; Say them to yourself a thousand Times a day, or flunk instead. Lives of speakers all remind us We can say our lines as well, And departing leave behind us — Wonders, such as none can tell. Wonders, that perhaps a Junior Struggling, trying hard for fame A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Hearing, may take heart again. Let us then be up and doing With a heart for any fate; Although flunking still keep hoping— Learn to labor and to wait. E. C. J. Statistics of Class 1911 Funniest—P. T. Carlisle Biggest Eater—M.

The World’s a Stage Where Every Man Must Play a Part Yes, our little world's a stage where every one has played a part, and not ex- actly a sad one. The Seniors will recall the stage on which every Friday they suffered untold agony reciting their twenty-five lines of poetry. Marshall Jones with his rapt look (star-gazing appealed to his audience thus : “Avenge O, Lord ! thy slaughtered saints.” Then Mary chimed in with her endless “Bells, Bells, Bells,” etc. Our dignified English teacher will recall this particular stage where she performed an acrobatic feat like a professional. One beautiful clear day a ter- rible earthquake shook the buildiug, and when we arrived on tde scene of disaster we beheld a damaged desk, and Miss Davidson was rescued from the debris on the floor. Friends and fellow-citizens, it was a time for tears. Blanche, good-natured soul, appears on the stage with dear Emma favoring us with their duets : Hi-diddle-dee Emma ami B. A. B , Their singing makes the eighth row sore ; And those who have heard them will all agree Their tones resemble an old lawn mower. 45 Next Paris T. Carlisle, Jr., he positively insists on the “Jr.” being tacked on his name. What part does he play ? Indescribable part ; absolutely original, from public speaking up. Does Haswell play a part? Well, you bet; and an impor- tant part, too. He raises every window within forty feet of him, turns off the rad- iators. and complains of the humidity in the air, while the thermometer indicates 40° below. Helen Mahan takes the part of a walking encyclopedia. If you dodge her, all is well. And lastly the part the teachers play, they give us long lessons and make us flunk, and send us back again plunkety plunk. E. S. and M H. ’ll.

With sleeves rolled up, we toiled away To make complete what we send forth today. So if we give a shout or two, What matters it to you ? Our books, farewell, our midnight oil is spent ; We brothers in a common cause have lent All that we have of caustic fun and wit ; If fun you fail to find, ’tis not for lack of it ; And so with an approving pat upon our backs, We say farewell—a band of noisy quacks. Before we part, our little book we charge “Convey our greetings to the world at large ! To school board, faculy, school-mates and all, To happy hours that in the pist befell To one and all a fond and last farewell. —Marshall Jones. 48 Aftiu'rtisi'itu'ntB Early to bed and early to rise, May make a man healthy, say those who are wise; But he’ll not get wealthy however he tries, If he thinks it is foolish to advertise. aljr UuBtnfBB (£mnmittrr J An Up-to-Date Drug Store 011 is the reputation we are endeavoring to maintain.
