W.M. Hanna
Wholesale and Retail Druggist, Muller Block
The drug establishment of W.M. Hanna is too well and favorably known to require any elaborate mention by the News. Mr. Hanna is now carrying an immense stock and as great a variety of goods in his special line as any ever displayed in any store in the city. His retail trade is large and steadily increasing, while his wholesale business extends to all the neighboring towns along the general lines of railroad and in the country. In the Nation, especially, he has built up a flourishing business, which promises to steadily enlarge. His goods are purchased from first hands and in large quantities, by which means he is enabled to sell them at low figures and still leave a margin for a reasonable profit. Mr. Hanna gives his personal and unremitting attention to the entire business, and sees that every order is filled correctly. His business is constantly increasing and is of sufficient proportions to justify the large investment of capital and expense incurred in placing it where it now belongs in the front rank of business houses of North Texas. The prescription department is under his immediate supervision also, and physicians can rely upon their medicines being compounded with scrupulous exactness.
Included in his large stock is all the standard proprietory medicines, English chemicals, fluid extracts, lamps and lamp fixtures, paint, oils, glass, putty, brushes, toilet goods of every class and description. He is able to fit up a retail drugstore fully and completely at any time, including not only a complete stock of drugs, but all fixtures, utensils and equipments necessary.
Liquors are a specialty. He keeps a full line of pure whiskies, brandies, wines, alcohol, etc., and is prepared to fill all orders promptly.
His stock of cigars is large and the brands have been selected with special regard to quality.
