Interior shot of Gerrick's Rexall Drug Store, 2415 So. 12th, for their Grand Opening Feb. 9-10th publicity. Owned and operated by Ray Gerrick, the store offered a full line of drug items, home remedies, a large fountain and a prescription department. Tacoma's newest and one of the Northwest's most modern drugstores was housed in a new concrete block building with large plate glass windows that extended the entire length of the store front. One of the many features of the new store was the prescription department with the most up to date equipment assuring accuracy in medicine compounding. For opening day, the store gave away door prizes and free coffee, flowers, balloons, candy and ice cream. (TNT 2/8/1951, pg. C-2)
