(Ad) An Open Letter from Easton Bryant, North Century Pharmacy

Hello friends and neighbors,

In today's hustle and bustle society with our minds involuntarily starving for the next dose of instant gratification, common sense says to invest your advertising efforts in flashy, catchy elements to promote your product or service. Well, I'm doing quite the opposite here and simply going with my gut in writing a lengthy open letter. If you're still with me and not dozing off from this boring introduction, thank you!

I'm not much of a salesman, simple as that. I've never recommended a medication or product based on monetary profitability and I never will. A person's health isn't an arena to make a quick and easy buck - it's much too serious to be used for that.

When I invest my own dollars in a new product or service, I typically do so after personally hearing a positive review in conversation with someone I know and trust.

Like many of you, I can't stand feeling like I've been suckered into spending my money unwisely. Word of mouth is a great thing, but it's a competitive market out there and simply too tough to rely on that alone.

So, with all that said, I'm essentially writing this to let you know we're here and we're here for you. Still with me? Wow...and thank you! Might as well stick it out - here come the meat and potatoes:
