Description

Numerous products in small boxes, bottles and cans are neatly displayed on wall-mounted shelves and glass display cases in this interior view of the H. E. Callahan Drug Store. A male clerk is seated behind a glass display case in the center of the space. A man, possibly one of the photographers, is standing on the opposite side of the display case. A sign mounted on a pillar in the foreground of the photograph reads in part “This store will be open on week days from 7 am to 9 pm, on Sundays and Holidays from 7 am to 12 noon and 6 pm to 9 pm. Emergency calls ….” Additional, un-readable signs, and what appear to be framed certificates have been hung on the rear wall. Two round, metal cafe tables and four metal chairs have been placed to the left of the pillar. The number “320” has been written on the emulsion side of the negative and is visible in the upper right corner of the picture. No number has been written in the upper left corner.
