Soda Fountain, 1920s

Soda Fountain, 1920s captures a bustling American drugstore soda counter from a raised vantage point, its shelves stacked with patent remedies beneath hand-lettered signs urging customers to buy the larger, cheaper sizes. A soda jerk in a white coat works the marble-topped fountain counter while shoppers in period suits and hats move through the aisles below, preserving a lively slice of everyday commerce from the early twentieth century.
