1940s Movie of Drug Store & Soda Fountain

Great interior views of Henny and Cooper Parmacy.

Wish I could experience an old soda fountain drug store like this. Definitely going to make a chocolate egg cream and whatever else sounds good

[@rayszymarek2920]

Good Big Band Music. Nice film for all of us who love the way it was. thank you

[@elizabethh776]

So fascinating! A lot of people! I wish we could bring back the 40s and it's so cool you got to eat in a drugstore and have ice cream sodas. Now all we got are drug stores with just medicines and greeting cards. Boooorrrrriiinnnggg! Whoever killed the idea of having food and ice cream sodas in drug stores? I want names! ((kicks box))

[@sophiachick3901]

I couldn’t agree more with you. I want to write a strongly worded letter to whoever killed this idea.

[@greggfisher7365]

Yah WW2 was awesome all the ice cream you could eat!

[@greggfisher7365]

Joking aside I go to an old fashioned drugstore with ice cream and sandwiches. It's pretty cool

[@XDLVLXP]

Rite aid serves ice cream still

[@macrosense]

There are an infinite varieties soft drinks in plastic bottles and aluminum cans.

[@raesmith2164]

Wow! I wish I can go back to that time. :)

[@raesmith2164]

@Ellie5621 Lol this was 4 years ago. I don't hold this opinion anymore

[@raesmith2164]

@Ellie5621 I was 15 in a military/old times worshipping family. Now I'm 19 and completely anti-war and if the draft comes back up, I'll help as many people as I can dodge the draft. Get off your high horse. People change

[@raesmith2164]

@Ellie5621 It's Alexei from Stranger Things. It's a popular show. And people changing in the span on nearly half a decade is somehow an unthinkable excuse?

We can’t bust heads like we used to-but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.

Back when they’d crush up some Benny’s, drop em in a drink and the next 5 hours of work would ZING PAST

[@jasons.8139]

I came here to see what a Soda Fountain was (as in the title) and I still have no idea.

[@jonbeckleymorrisblues]

Yes, could see my Dad Jitterbuging to this buying my Mom a soda....

[@matrox]

I like how nobody is getting robbed, nobody smashing and grabbing the merch. The good old days.

[@sophiachick3901]

Ad Rx to Starbucks and boom we have our soda fountain shop back, lol.

[@fizzygrizzly9892]

If I had a time machine I would like to go back to the 20s, 30s or 40s. Simple times. And men and women dressed classy. not this saggy, torn clothes look people are into today. Smh take me back please

[@shanemckenna9416]

Totally agree man. They all want to dress the same as the guys these days. Boo! Thank you women's lib.

[@RhombusLabs]

Without the segregation of course.

[@therealwewin]

30s was the great depression

[@kurnma3776]

Except if you were an Italian lol

[@normroberts3468]

great i remember that drug store

[@davecc0000]

What city & state was it in?

[@therealwewin]

@@davecc0000 🤣

[@malenasuarez992]

Anybody know what the source for this is? Is it from a movie? a documentary?

[@bert1374]

Damn it’s creepy knowing alot of those people are dead

[@Cherryyl-vv4gs]

All gone

[@taureanwooley]

The war or something was there looking for something

[@Yesterday5656]

I'm guessing this is 1945 to 1947 approximately?

[@devroshart]

I would have the same guess, lots of young men suggest it's just after the war.

[@davecc0000]

And not a single uniform. Definitely later than 1945. And not yet into the 50s.
