Schubert's Westgate Pharmacy advertised itself as being a complete drugstore, serving the North End. It also contained a postal station and offered free delivery. Here a pharmacist, possibly owner Guy W. Schubert, appears to be dispelling advice to a customer about "Bisma Rex." Besides prescriptions, pharmacies also sold assorted sundries and non-prescriptive items, including remedies for chapped lips, cough syrup, and razor blades.

Exterior of Schubert's Westgate Pharmacy. As its rooftop sign indicates, Schubert's promoted Rexall prescription drugs. It was located in the Westgate Shopping center which had opened in 1953. Gene's Westgate TV was the pharmacy's immediate neighbor. Schubert's, owned by Guy W. Schubert, was listed in the 1958 City Directory as a complete drugstore serving the North End. It had both a post office and served fountain lunches and beverages. Schubert's windows displayed items for both young and old: one window emphasized Valentine's Day cards and candy and the other, Geritol products.
