Delta Rexall Drugs Grand Opening

Title

Delta Rexall Drugs Grand Opening

Description

Black and white image of a large queue outside of a drug store, made up mostly women and children. One woman in the foreground has a balloon in her hands, and a young boy behind her holds three balloons; both appear to be leaving the store. Several men in hats observe the queue from the curb. A neon sign advertises the drug store; behind it are other neon signs advertising the Shake Shop, Dorothy's Women's Wear, and Commercial National Bank. This pharmacy was established in 1890, but had two different grand 're-openings' in the 1940s. Most likely this image is from the latter event, in 1949.
