Mertz, C. Eugene - 1897

The Gray Pharmacy

Has just opened up with a complete and honest line of Drugs, Staple and Fancy Stationery, Paints, Oils and everything found in a first-class drug store.  When you want a prescription filled, it is not necessary to go to Manning or Audubon as heretofore, as we are prepared to fill them promptly at any hour, day or night.  We invite the patronage of the people of Gray and vicinity, and you will find our charges reasonable and work carefully done.  We are here to stay and will try to satisfy.

Yours respectfully,
….C. Eugene Mertz, Registered Druggist, Gray, Iowa.
