Scope and content
An offer of a sampling of perfume is being presented to an interested customer at the make-up counter of an unidentified drugstore. The glass shelves are crammed with Lucien Lelong and Max Factor products. Lotions, creams, and perfumes make for a tempting display of merchandise. Pipes and other smoking paraphernalia dangle from the ceiling above the women's heads. A soda fountain is to the right of the make-up counter; crowding close by are rows of vitamins and home remedies. It is possible that this is the interior of a Renton phamarcy. Pharmacies in the 1950's not only dispensed prescribed medication but also had soda fountains and sold numerous miscellaneous items. Photograph ordered on behalf of Teleradio Advertisers, Inc., for KTVW.
