Title

Oskaloosa Drug Company, Circa 1895; Iowa

Description

Pictured here is the Oskaloosa Drug Company with its staff standing outside of the building around 1895. Pharmacies in the 19th Century did not solely sell drugs to patrons, but carried other marketable goods as well in order to pick up a shortfall if people were not buying medicine from the store. This particular store offers paint and other products to potential patrons. Because of this, the concept of the soda pop fountain stemmed from the drug business.
