William H. Daw
Doubtless many residents in the vicinity of Twenty-third and H Streets Northwest, have noticed the neat and attractive drug store at that location, which for the past fifteen months has been conducted by the gentleman whose name heads this article. The stock here includes a full supply of pure drugs, chemicals, patent medicines and medicinal waters and also a large assortment of toilet and fancy articles, exquisite perfumery, confectionery and in fact everything requisite to a first-class drug store. The delightful soda water dispensed here is made of the best fruit juices and drawn from the latest improved and one of the most beautiful fountains in the city. Mr. Daw gives his personal attention to the prescription branch, for which his experience of almost a lifetime in the same line - he being at Tenth and L streets for twenty-five years - gives ample assurance of his ability. Telephone call, 485-2.
